I know it's paint party Friday but I've been sewing instead of painting again this week... except for the tiny wooden word here at the bottom.... I'll let my assistant show you how I painted it...
I collect fun embellishments, or did before the pandemic, and had these little wooden words on hand but they were too plain, so... gold metallic paint to the rescue!
another little embellishment, placed just so along the top.
If you remember I made tiny leaf blocks with leftover half square triangles a few weeks ago, and turned them into two quilts for fall.
This one looks art deco to me and is now hanging in the living room. So pretty with golden yellows , and metallic gold fabrics and threads.
It's small but I sure love it, and might like it framed....
I wanted you to notice the rows of pretty gold and amber beads on the sides

I love this black binding with gold threads shot through too! |
I always add beads last, by hand, and it was fast enough to finish during my conversation with Joy!
Back to the other leaf piece, notice the leaf blocks are the same but set differently in each quilt
My assistants were making suggestions for quilting it... I loved the colors they chose! I always like to see the back of a quilt, don't you??
I pieced all the flying geese units to paper, and placed them around my set blocks as a border, but it was challenging to piece them into a border... measuring and math were involved...
you can just see all the seam lines from making them all fit while keeping the border fabric scene going on behind them!!

it's an art piece...and it's like magic how you can place the parts at the right place ...BRAVO!
Hi LeeAnna, I enjoyed your Thursday post and this one too. You are doing some fine eating...worth getting out of bed for is right. Though I'm glad you got a good sleep. And also stitching. I like seeing the embellishments up close. I agree your pieces are definitely art! Sadly, from the outside, the division appears deep but you must keep hope all will be mended.
Oh my, these are stunning! I especially like the first one. The embellishments and appliqués are stellar finishing touches. Beautiful!
Squee!!! I love those quilts. Especially the blue one. Beautiful work!
That's amazing and totally gorgeous!
I love this! The addition of blue to a fall quilt is super successful design wise I think. I wouldn't have thought of that and it looks great. And the flying geese and improv piecing make me smile. :)
Every little detail is to die for!! I love the tiny flying geese floating in the borders! Love those amber beads! Love the painted word Thankful! You are so good at these art quilts
This is fabulous!!! those little tiny geese!! and that quilting!! what a beautiful piece!!!
Hi LeeAnna,
and a snail!
You have had a very creative and busy week !
Love all the colours today ! Blue and yellow :)
hugs,
Joanne
I cannot resist orange and blue palettes (for real--they're my favorite complementary duo), but I never thought to add blue to an autumnal palette. Brilliant!
Fabulous quilts and all the details. I especially love the scrappiness of the blue bordered one. What fun!
Oh how lovely! Fall-flavored yet incorporating Halloween and art inspirations all in one! Bravo! Love the embellishments on both projects. How wonderful to be able to spend your Fall admiring these every day!
So fun to see how your yellow scrap triangles turned into these two beautiful pieces! I especially love how you combined the fall colors with the flying geese in the dark blue sky, the embellishments, and the applique in the corners.
Your elephant assistants are so cute and omg...your quilts!!! They are so nice, you've got lots of talent lady! :) You are so right about challenges! :)
Such beautiful work! I do like the little beads. And I'm smiling at your little elephants. So cute!
Your quilts are magnificent! Happy PPF, hugs, Valerie
Such beautiful work!
Fabulous quilts!
Absolutely gorgeous quilts. Very creative full of wonderful elements and details. Love both ❗
Happy PPF and weekend ♥️
Nice job with the embellishments! Have a super weekend.
Two inspired finishes. Love the colors of the thankful one and yes, that swirly fabric in the corners gives it a art deco look. Congrats, LeeAnna.
So many details in that fun quilt! Love it!
omg, how do you do that! That looks so enormously difficult, to piece it all together like that and make it all fit. I LOVE those kittens on the sides, and I also love how you added beads. Beautiful work ♥
Spectacular finishes, LeeAnna!! Your attention to detail and your flair for embellishment is enviable. I'm SEW jealous!
These quilts looks amazing. Congrats on finishing. hugs-Erika
You are amazing. What creativity. All the little extras take the leaf log cabin with flying geese border to the next level.

Love your work! It's always so inspiring and beautiful!
I can’t add much more in the way of kudos, but to say....Awesomesauce! Reading your post , I had to go back and find the frog! I missed him the first time! So much eye candy on that quilt! Well done, LeeAnna! Well done!
How did I get so far behind? Your latest autumn leaves quilt is unbelievable. I SO admire your quilting skills and the back of that quilt is out of this world. Awesome.
Wow LeeAnna, I love your quilt.! So much to look at. My eyes keep moving around and dont seem to stop. Such a lovely piece of work.
Your fabric art is Fabulous!!! Happy PPF a bit late:)
Very amazing quilts. I absolutely love the embellishments! And your elephant assistants-- so cool! I'd love to have an elephant assistant. They are so very cute and cuddly looking! Enjoy your day! 🌞🌻
Wow! I love the addition of the pumpkin, cat and frog. What delightful quilts. You are such a talented artist, I always love to visit and see what you have been up to.
I am so impressed with your sewing. Each piece is perfect and so beautiful. I love the toys.
Lovely, I like adding interesting embellishments too. Love your beads and all your additions.
LA - love the addition of the kitties, pumpkins and frogs. It gives the quilt a very finished look! In our log house, we don't have many drywall walls, and we are reluctant to put holes in the logs. But recently I have been realizing that I do have some open spots on the drywall, and I am inspired by you to do some wall hangings! Stay well!
Your elephant friends sure have good taste! Your thankful quilt is stunning! So many great choices. Love the mini quilt in gold. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
Two amazing quilts, and so inspiring! I do like the additional input from those little elephants!
You have a wonderful knack for putting colors together for great looking quilts!
