I did a bunny….much smaller than most of hers….and liked the process although it was slow going. Kept changing my mind about what I wanted where. I just appliquéd it to a piece of fabric with batting and the back. Didn’t go all over the actual collage since it was going on a wall. I have the dog pattern but haven’t gotten around to doing it. If I can figure out how to add a picture, I will.

Mine will be specifically for hanging. OneByOne, Snippets would have drove you mad, they were the size of fingernail clippings!

Oh! I took a class years ago when Snippets were popular. It was the first guild class I ever signed up to take. I did a vase of flowers, I think. I have no idea what I did with it. I haven't though about it until you posted this. And you are right I did not like Snippets. LOL Took too much time for what I finished with.

I did a Laura Heine pattern. Loved it. I think these are Australian flowers because I don’t see them here in the US. I brought out my batik scrap box. Went through it. You only need a small pieces to make up the flowers. Great way to use up my stash of background fabrics. My daughter claimed it. I may make a second one. I used the invisible thread with a zigzag stitch to secure my pieces down.

I've heard of her patterns before, but never looked them up until today. Thought the five patterns of florals were very interesting and something I'd enjoy doing. Willl have to think about it though as I'm trying to work on several other quilt patterns I've started.

She has two styles Linda, the floral ones that makes wonderful use of big and small floral prints, and what she calls Painterly, where the colors of the fabric create the item or scene. I prefer the painterly ones, probably because I don't have any florals I could build my own kit from
