Anyone have suggestions??

It is fabulous and we would all love to know the basics, which I wouldn't think would violate any "codes". I would gladly take the class, but no one around here does anything cool like that, just your more traditional stuff :-/
I am the Quilt Instructor that taught mom2boyz who made the dog confetti. Where do you live? Maybe I need to come there and teach you and your buddies! Here's another confetti piece.

It seems Cindy Walter does the Snippets technique

which involves double-sided fusible to secure the fabric pieces to the "canvas". It says no sewing is actually required, although it would probably be nice to have some thread/quilting on top.
On the other hand, the Confetti technique by Noriko Endo seems to involve scattering (with a plan) skinny strips of fabric onto the canvas (actually the batting), covering the finished design with tulle, and then securing it all with stitching in monofilament thread.
Here's a link to a video (first of three):

Anybody else want to jump in and speculate on the technique?

How about me? I am the instructor of the confetti class. I watched a show with Noriko Endo and I bought her book. It was lovely but way too complicated for me and it required thread painting to finish it off. Anyway, I just broke the process down by creating true confetti with my fabric and voila I had something easy and fun. As far as I know, no one else works this way. I have never seen it anyhow and I am writing a book.
Maybe more of a pamphlet!

I forgot to mention that there is not book...yet. I am working on it. Noriko Endo wrote a book she calls Confetti and it is lovely but her technique was too fussy for me. I broke it down into simpler pieces and now anyone can play.

Love it! Jan - I would definitely buy the book - keep us posted. I also pass through Grants Pass once or twice per year but normally have a kid or two in tow so probably couldn't stop for classes. Maybe hop the train down from Seattle? Do you ever do the class in a weekend retreat as opposed to a series? Thanks, Shannon
She took the class from me! Jan Dole in Grants Pass, Oregon. I am proud of her and her accomplishment. It really isn't hard work. Honestly. My students would tell you that. You can complete the whole thing in a weekend.

I have been thinking about a retreat for this class. It could easily be done over a weekend start to finish. I wonder if there would be any interest in Seattle? Hmmmm.. more to think about.
