I made this wreath last night as a gift exchange for the quilting bee I belong to, The Happy Stitchers. Our party's December 13th and I'm fairly impressed I didn't wait 'til the last minute to get it done.
The pattern, 'No-Sew Wreath', is from the Winter 2012 issue of Quilts and More magazine. For no sew, it was still quite a bit of work. I cut 1"x 8" strips 'til I thought the world looked level and then wrapped each of the four wire forms with the strips. I'm now convinced I have arthritis or carpal tunnel or both.
It feels like it's missing something but I'm afraid if I keep adding frippery and bling it'll look like it belongs in a bordello instead of on a respectable suburban front door. Any suggestions?
Next time, if there is a next time, I'll use a smaller wire form. And instead of scrappy, a color scheme of 2-3 colors would be better IMHO. I hope my buddy likes it.
