I did not know you could embroider leaves!

In poking around Google+ I came across this awesome lady "click here for link". I love her works! Did you know you can embroider leaves? We have had snow, here in Rochester, NY, but I did manage to find leaves while on visits to doctor's, dining out and shopping for groceries. My first attempt at embroidering leaves--it turned out to be a cross between a bird and a fish; I will call it my Flying Fish!
