Angie, your wreath is spectacular, love it. Found a wire wreath form while cleaning out sewing room, (finally). got good start on it anyway. Course our cat isn’t too happy as I ruined all his hiding places.
Was so great how you arranged bandannas with stars on top, looks incredible. Gonna make one I think, will use the patriotic fabric I have. You are always such an inspiration for me.
Patriotic fabric would work perfectly!
