Leafy Days are here

Wow We are HOPPING Like crazy these days with all the WONDERFUL inspirations that are shared! 
This week is the Leafs Me Happy Hop and I am very excited to share.  Madame Samm and Cherry have done a fabulous job with this hop!  I have so much inspiration that I think my personal Sponge is starting to overload!  *giggle* 

I am sharing the day with a GREAT Group of Ladies... Make sure you visit them as well as all the other hoppers that are going on.  Here's Today's Schedule....

Monday 8

Today I am sharing some of my Cherished Nature Leaf Blocks.  Love the FUN colors and the different leafs in the patterns.  This will be put together into a fun table runner for my livingroom (eventually..hehe)







I also am going to share a quilt that I've had done for awhile..It has a leaf or two in it as well.. This is a Raw Edge Applique Technique and it is SUPER SOFT!  Fun Fun Fun...   The pattern is called French Roses and there are a couple of leaves with each flower..so it qualifies..right.. *Wink* 





Thanks for stopping by for a visit!  I look forward to the next HOP!  I've got some Great EEK!  Fabric to make some fun halloween blocks...   I am off to HOP!
