Well,  this is something. I have been thinking about asking you to do a 
class on  these wreathes. I have a bunch of scrap fabrics from my neighbor and 
I thought  it would be a perfect way to use them. I just never got around to 
asking you.  

So I am thrilled. Didn't you say hemming the strips made a nicer  wreathe?

Thanks for getting in my head and doing what I dream of.
