What is this technique called?

I did a cushion centre using a similar method, though I used small trips
which overlapped and were held down by free machine embroidery and a bit
of hand embroidery. I didn't use any netting, and can't remember whether
the base was fusible, but I think it must have been. I don't think the
method had a particular name - it was in a UK Embroiderers Guild mag
about 10 years ago before my quilting days!.

Its in the misc. section of my pictures (the one with the Llama bag).

Several years ago there was a minor craze to make fabric 'pictures' using
tiny scraps. The scraps were like confetti and were attached to a base and
covered with netting I think. Maybe fusible was involved. Some of the
pictures were realistic, such as trees and others were more stylized like
mosaic design. Can anyone recall what this is called? I'd like to play with
it a bit, but need the name to do a search.

Thanks, Pat in Virginia

Snippets! YES, that rings a bell! Thanks, Hanne.

After running though my book cases only twice, I found my book on
this:

More Snippet Sensations but Cindy Walter

This one involved fusible, remove the backing paper, then snip and let
fall into place. Press according to instructions and stitch on top.

I was going to says "snippets" even if I hadn't found my book, but I
guess now you'd all not ever believe that...

Polly:
Hanne, Gen, and others have correctly identified Snippets. Your guess has
merit too!
THANK YOU to everyone who answered my request.
