Maryanne was inspired by her friend and several Australian artists who were creating art with the Slow Stitching method. She was so intrigued, that she just had to try it out in this challenge. Maryanne added that what she loved about this method was that there were no rules to it..."You could just stick whatever you want in a collage-like form." says Maryanne. She played with a multitude of background fabrics and just kept adding to her block. We are so happy she explored this new technique. Awesome block, Maryanne!
