I'm making progress with the last panel for my summer art quilt; I have the fabric elements attached and now I'm working on the embroidery.
Because I have a need to punish myself, I decided to use some avocado-dyed cotton twine as an embellishment. I'm couching it with gold holographic thread into a spiral right now.
Despite being very thick the little patch of faux leather wasn't as tough to attach to the foundation fabric as I thought it would be. I used a carpet mending needle, worked slowly, and used a blanket stitch and size 8 variegated perle cotton, which all worked out fine. The little leaf brooch was something the seller of the vintage bundle sent. Since it's going to be very difficult to embroider the leather I decided to use that as the embellishment for the patch.

Yes, punishing...I've tried doing a similar spiral in the past and found it tedious though the result was nice so I'm looking forward to yours! And that little piece of leather turned out really nice. The broach is a perfect choice :)
