Autumn Cascade Wall Art

Autumn Cascade by Anna-Marie Winter is an advanced canvaswork embroidery pattern inspired by autumn maple leaves and Japanese brocade design. Finished at approximately 11″ x 6″ on 24 count congress cloth, this elegant piece combines spun silk, filament silk, overdye silk, Japan gold, passing thread, and metallic braid. The design features a brocade style background, shaded maple leaves, outlined gold leaves, and flowing couched vines. Skills include preparing canvas, working with silk threads, couching metal threads, outlining, long stitch shading, transferring designs, plunging metal thread tails, and maintaining clean, controlled stitching throughout the project.
