Since the leaves are encased in wax paper and do not have contact with the air, they keep their colors for a very long time. Ours are still going strong, and it&#39;s been several months now! :-)Valerie @ Frugal Family Fun Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01066972931053719521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553990294643991122.post-45983891801511641562010-03-01T17:31:21.618-05:002010-03-01T17:31:21.618-05:00WOW, this is so simple and fantastically beautiful. I just brought my sewing machine out of the attic and as a (very) beginner sewer this looks like something I can totally accomplish. What a great way to preserve leaves...how long did they keep their fall color?Reginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17730252797298535561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553990294643991122.post-76505808398177080162009-11-19T11:08:34.390-05:002009-11-19T11:08:34.390-05:00This is so pretty.

What a great idea! I may have to make one... although I am really enjoying reading right now... crafting may have to wait until I am done with the new Diana Gabaldon book. ;)<br /><br />ValVal in the Rose Gardenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13891260349692305609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553990294643991122.post-63668770426437547922009-10-27T20:03:57.429-04:002009-10-27T20:03:57.429-04:00@ Meninheira -- Gracias!

It&#39;s great fun, try it! Only difference you&#39;ll notice is that yours will have two threads, and the one I made with the serger uses four threads. It will still work, and I&#39;m sure it will look great!Valeriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01066972931053719521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553990294643991122.post-16997028072065297742009-10-26T23:39:34.556-04:002009-10-26T23:39:34.556-04:00Very cool idea! I saw Martha Stewart make a photo banner like that, stitching pictures backed with paper together the same way.

What do we need a dining room for, anyway? Besides, I&#39;ve heard felt tastes better than Metamucil, so you&#39;ll thank me later.Valeriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01066972931053719521noreply@blogger.com
