Halfway There

I'm making progress with the last panel for my summer art quilt. I've attached the fabric elements, and now I'm working on the embroidery.

I decided to use some avocado-dyed cotton twine as an embellishment by couching it with gold holographic thread into a spiral.

Despite being very thick the little patch of faux leather wasn't as tough to attach to the foundation fabric as I thought. I used a carpet mending needle and some variegated perle cotton to outline it with a blanket stitch. Since it's going to be very difficult to embroider the leather I decided to use a wee vintage brooch as the embellishment for the patch.
