Janet,
I’ve done something similar for years in rubber stamping, called assemblage. However, although the needlepoint with the fabric looks wonderful, I absolutely loathe sewing, so I’ll leave that technique to other adventurous stitchers — unless I can figure out a way to do it without hand sewing.
Thanks for keeping us stitchers informed,
