I know it's Christmas time but...

I have been feeling very springy lately. I used scraps from my Verna jelly roll cut them in half so that they were 1.25 inches X 5.5 inches and tied them like Rachel's tute onto a 12 inch wreath frame. I REALLY love Verna...
****Note**** MY Estimated yardage for anyone interested...
12 inch wreath uses 300 - 1.25 inch strips X 5.5 inches {total 1 yard and 14inches}
14 inch wreath uses 360 - 1.5 inch strips X 5.5 inches {total 1 yard and 24 inches,roughly a Moda honey bun}
these are estimates since I did the 12 inch with scraps.

Now I have a goal to do one in Christmas fabrics BEFORE Christmas if that's possible. Thanks for stopping by!

p.s. TODAY is the deadline for the One Pack Doll Quilt Challenge Giveaway.  So far there are 7 entries. Don't delay...post your project on Flickr for an entry to win 2 Moda jelly rolls of your choice from the Fat Quarter Shop

Lauren and Jessi Jung




have you seen this website?
 It's Lauren and Jessi Jung's new site.  They are a mother and daughter team that has a new fabric line being released by Moda. It's called Botany. I have a bit of it from market and it's going to be a fun line to create with.  I just wanted to share their link because they have 4-5 free craft, applique and quilt patterns on their site now. Enjoy!!

Fabric Wreath

I whipped up this fun little fabric wreath during our road trip to Iowa for Thanksgiving. Rachel gave a tutorial on ModaBakeshop.  I used a Sultry honey bun and a 14 inch wreath frame.
