AUTUMN LEAVES

© 1984 Nancy Spruance. All rights reserved.

Color numbers listed are for DMC 6 strand embroidery floss and are suggestions only.

Stitch count is 15 high.

Some Suggested Variations:

  • Back stitch leaf edges using leaf color.
  • Reverse the position of the two colors in each leaf.
  • Add blending filament or use metallics for a sophisticated look.
  • Make a bookmark by stacking the leaves (points up or points down) with one row between each leaf. Work the colorful leftover threads into a tassel to finish it off.
