Layers of Leaves Wreath




 It has been a very very long time since I posted anything, but today I decided to share what I have been working on. 

Needlepoint Now magazine has the Layers of Leaves in their current issues and will continue until the end of the year. There are the instructions for 10 leaves in each issue. 

I decided to stitch mine on 28 count linen instead of 18 count canvas. I am attaching 32 gauge wire around each leaf with buttonhole stitch with 2 strands of DMC. This way I won’t have to do any finishing when I have all of the leaves ready to attach to the wreath.  The above picture are my first 20 leaves.

The picture below is a picture of the finished wreath as shown in the magazine.
