A sew-along is of course only a success when it brings people together. That’s happening again thanks to the simplicity of Stitched in Color chat, a place where our connection is not filtered by an algorithm. A place where real people are sharing successes and struggles, asking for feedback and finding inspiration in each other. So cool.
Today I want to celebrate this community by capturing some of your lovely leaves in this blog post. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us!
by Heather Sharp
We’re loving her dark blue foliage background print! Warm leaves contrast boldly with that background, while the sunlight blocks stand for Heather as frost.

Having trouble pressing your seams flat? Ashley shares this tip, “I used a paint brush to brush Best Press on the seams and that worked so well!”
by Lisa Lyon
Lisa is making color-focused leaves and arranging them in a vertical color wash with green as her accent color. What a fabulous idea!
by Marilyn
Marilyn’s leaf fabrics give me the impression of water droplets on fallen leaves. I love the combination of these autumn prints with her soft brown Sunlight block.
by Dawn Lundgren
Three cheers for Dawn who completed all 15 leaves in the first week. Phew!!! Each one is unique and beautifully scrappy!
by Jamie G
Her self-proclaimed Smurf blue background looks fabulous with scraps, don’t you think? I can’t wait to see more of this quilt. The same goes for many others!
Well, that’s just a sampling, mostly of the latest posts. Visit the chat board to see more and don’t feel shy about joining us Under the Maple Tree. It’s not too late to tap into those autumn vibes and sew along!








Such a beautiful variety of leaves and sunshine blocks!
I really love all of the different color choices and everyone's little stash of 2" patches of treasured bits.
Thanks for sharing these results so far. I am sewing almost all day today.
