Week 5 Green

I really enjoy working with strips of materials, so I again used a background in green and then sewed colorful green strips on top.  Each strip was cut with a pinking shear, which adds to the design as well as keeps the strip from fraying.

 My friend, Susan Rienzo introduced me to this type of strip sewing; no fusible is necessary, you simply place your strip on the background fabric and sew it down.  You can see much of her work at www.susanrienzodesigns.com  Susan works with very colorful, playful fabrics and has a signature style, which I love.  More green next week!
