Leaf your troubles behind was created to invoke the feeling of a cool fall morning, looking out the window and seeing a variety of beautifully colored leaves on the ground. You know it's a wonderful cool crisp morning! This piece combines my love to yarn, macramé and sewing a fun rope bowl. Enjoy!

Artist's Statement:

Ron Leone: Men In Quilts - I started quilting over 15 years ago after I retired. Since I was child, I always enjoyed working with fabric and creating beautiful things. Whether it was designing & making outfits for marionettes I created or just stitching up some fun Halloween costumes…working with fabric has always been fun to me. Being a tactile person, I find working with fabrics, battings and threads very satisfying. There are few things as sensuously tactile as working in fiber art. The different textures, colors and designs are very inspiring.
Also, though this may sound weird – I find the hum, motion and vibrations of a sewing machine very calming.
Over these many years, I have created many quilts and quilted items that make people happy, keep people warm and make their homes more beautiful – this make me (and them) very happy.
