Cindy takes you step by step through the process of creating more than you ever dreamed possible with little bits of fabric. I especially liked doing the "impressonistic" arts with the techniques I learned from this book.

Highly recommended!

This review is from: Snippet Sensations: Fast, Fusible Fabric Art for Quilted or Framed Projects (Paperback)

Impressionistic sensations with fabric scraps, this is a very easy to understand book with great ideas, and lots of pictures. This fabric scrap/ snippet idea can be used for quilts, pictures, scrap books, and door decorations. It is easy for middle school age through seniors citizens. A great addition to my book shelf.

This review is from: Snippet Sensations: Fast, Fusible Fabric Art for Quilted or Framed Projects (Paperback)

I discovered this book after watching the author on a sewing tv program. I really like the impressionist art style and thought what a great way to combine two art forms. However, in the tv show, she showed how to make flowers. They are NOT included this book. I did make the wreath that she discusses in the book and in one afternoon, I had a beautiful wallhanging. The step by step directions are great. Don't be intimitated by the samples she gives, just go for it!!
