[Nfb-krafters-korner] Cloth Wreaths

[River Woman]

I will start working on it in a couple of days and let everyone know how it 
goes.  Right now, I am cleaning china closets and shelves and getting the 
house ready to put up Christmas decorations - after that, I can begin my 
project. I would like to do it with two of my great grand sons after I do 
mine - I think their mother's would be thrilled with it.
