(Her pile of stuff looked to be almost an inch thick.) She put a piece of fabric over all that, right side up, pinned it well, and sewed lines every which way until a lot of it was covered in sewing. Then she slashed the top fabric (I think some of it was cut away) between the stitchings, and pulled and trimmed the stuff that now "birthed" itself. She used it for a pillow and the front of a purse. It was very beautiful.
Hi maviskw...I explained the stitch and slash above to piepatch. But just wanted to let you know, I really liked your idea too. That sounded interesting to me and I would like to try that too. Thanks for sharing. It is really neat how one person comes up with an idea and the next person adds to it, or dreams up another idea based on that one. It is great that we can all share these ideas in our heads.
