America's pilgrims set aside a day at the end of harvest to thank God for all they have, even in there struggles. We still celebrate this day calling it Thanksgiving Day!
words in picture " When we give thanks in all things, we see hardships and adversities in the context of the purpose of life." by Dallin H Oaks. |
After making the fall leaves from two different patterns, still deciding how to arrange them. All are size 40 lizbeth colors. |

She does a wonderful job of explaining the twist and encourages you to experiment with making your own style for fun. After the first two I made one in about and hour and a half. |
|
This one is a play one a little to bumpy hers looks better. |
|
Idea of the size here. |

This is another way to arrange, but I really plan on stitching the words in, I think :) I was also thinking of tatting more leaves and connecting them for a doily or bowl shape. |

ReplyDeleteThank you, Carollyn, this is very beautiful!! Magic leaves in beautiful colors. they remind me how amazed i was when I saw the diversity of trees in the USA. Thank you for the wise words on the poem, I needed them,..
ReplyDeleteFabulous tatting, patterns & colours ! Autumn leaves are Always so vibrant.
ReplyDeleteI like the first (top) arrangement of leaves - as if radiating from the quotation, although the bottom (framed) arrangement is probably more natural as strewn about in the ground.
A real visual treat, Carollyn, & happy Thanksgiving :-)
Thank you all, I had a wonderful day and enjoyed making this arrangement too I did not have time to make other maple leave patterns, but really wanted to, and even more colors like purple too! And now on to more Christmas things !
