ED-Kinusaiga_Heart-and-Paw

*"Kinusaiga is a traditional Japanese no-sew fabric craft created in the 1980s. Often called "quilting without a needle" or "painting with fabric", the technique involves transferring a design onto a cushioned or foam board, scoring/cutting narrow grooves along the lines, and gently tucking small swatches of scrap fabric into the base." (definition). Mary takes those techniques, aand adds great details. Once finished, we "Eltimar" it, with yarn, ribbons, buttons, bits and bobs - and FUN! The Heart and Paw was quilted, and then surrounded with a fabulous textured material.
