After Liz discussed her collage technique...

The students got right with it!

Liz prepared handwritten words on fabric

The students began filling in 

the background areas...

Yummy Fabric Scraps...

After the background is filled in:

the students filled in the heart...

Heart Collage.....ready to be fused down

Many of the students chose to 

embellish with embroidery

Applying Foam Core board

so the hearts can be displayed.
