Scrappy Wreath

Just brought this out and put it on the wall. I made this wall hanging a few years ago and have taught classes on making them too. It is another project from the snippets method from Cindy Walters which I talked about in a previous post. I love using up scraps and not having to use templates of any kind. All the strips are just cut randomly with scissors after placing Steam-a-seam on the back of the fabric. Then place your strip on a background fabric. It's a little sticky so it stays where you put it and it's also repositionable so if it doesn't look good, lift it up and try it somewhere else. It doesn't become permanent until you iron it. Endless possibilities!

Snippets anyone?

I know this is an old book, but this is such a fun method. It's from Cindy Walter's book Snippet Sensations. This is quick and rewarding. It goes together very fast and if you like putting floral arrangements together, you'd probably do a much better job than me. Iron Steam-a-Seam onto the back of your fabric choices, then snip away and position onto a background. It has a light stickiness to it and it's repositionable. It will become permanent when you iron it to the background. Just machine quilt over the top of it. Tons of possibilities.
