[Nfb-krafters-korner] an idea!!!!

[Dixie]

It is funny, when Joyce was asking for ideas for crafts, this was exactly
what came to mind the other day for me too!

Joyce, do I remember correctly?  Would these also look good with the edges
of the fabric pinked, as another option in creating the wreath?

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.
