They are too small for the "big" shows, but I am "Movin" on Up" like the Jefferson's! Making them bigger and better. Smart money would bet on me posting here if I won something, to be sure!

I will wait for the notification of your first blue ribbon, I am guessing by the end of the year.

Do the colored pencils wash out? Do you heat set them? Are they regular colored pencils like we used in school? TIA
I can see a lot of places where these would be fun to use :D:D:D

go outside pick a leaf trace arround --it use copier to get size you want it--trace on double sticky sided fusable stuff[tecnical word!] iron fabric cutout leaf shape iron on fabric--zig zag with machine or hand button hole to secure edges -- add veins as shown by pam-- Please show your quilts pam they may or may not win a ribbon but we all need eye cany to lift our spirits

Without knowing how you want to use them on your quilt... would using painted/heat bubbled tyvek work?

You can paint one side of your tyvek with some lumiere paints in several colors, sponging it on for a natural effect. Draw a leaf pattern on the tyvek, including veins, stitch around the tyvek and stitch in the veins, use pinking scissors to cut it out then apply hot iron with thin paper between tyvek and iron, you don't want it to melt on your iron plate. It will bubble and distort and look like a leaf. Sew it on your quilt. Tyvek can be washed.

just a thought
