A Word From the Author:

“So now I have this felt that is ready to build up the collage. We’re going to start with the background, and I love this green fabric, so I’m going to pull that out. And then I’m going to think about what I want across here at the bottom as a nice strong, solid foundation. Maybe I would pull out this blue fabric.” — Deborah Boschert
