Fallen Leaf


After the autumn winds blow,
And the trees are bare,
There will remain this token of the season
To take you through
To a much awaited spring.

When it comes to weather in Chicago there are just a few things we can count on.  The leaves will fall in autumn and return to us in the spring.  My favorites are the maple tree leaves which are bountiful in my yard.  Their colors are stunning!  This stitching was done directly on a leaf, following its color pattern until I had a replica of what nature had given me.
