Handmade Spring Rag Wreath Tutorial and Supply List
April 06, 2020
Good Monday morning dear friends and readers.
Well here we are together as our country is facing another week of sheltering indoors and being together via Face time, Facebook, email, text or on the phone is the best place to be!
So welcome to my blog and let's getting crafting and chatting as I share a handmade Spring Rag Wreath tutorial.
These past few days have been extra challenging for me, as I continue to process the magnitude of the coronavirus and how it impacts our nation, my people, your people and the world around us.
So I hope and pray that this post finds you all well and holding on to your can-do spirit!
Don't you just love a welcoming wreath on a front door, nothing says come on over and let's have a cup coffee like a welcoming wreath.
As our Craft and Chat Live Facebook group prepares for another week of friendship we would love for you to join our group as we share some upbeat chats, a few laughs and of course plenty of crafts. We are not taking this pandemic lightly we are creating new goals, challenges and keeping our own can-do American spirits alive and in the meantime we hope we lift up other folks spirits too.
Today I will be making a Spring Rag Wreath, plus sharing three of my Mom's handmade quilts on Craft and Chat Live, I sure hope to see you soon!
Rag wreaths have interested me for quite some time now, I like their messy, earthy, down-home look and feel, in fact I made a Valentine Rag wreath using a clothes hanger a few years ago.
Thank you so much for reading my blog. I appreciate each and every one of you and I hope to see you in a few hours for craft and chat live on my Jemma Olson Face Book page
The line up for the week is below.
Blessings to one and all,
Jemma

Healthy here and not overly concerned because the thing is God is in control...
ReplyDeleteI love this wreath- reminds me of soft clouds. I need to get crafty, thinking this little RV could use some fresh color. Going to try and remember to log in today and watch at 4. Hoping it's on Instagram as well? Have a great day friend...
Just love it Jemma. It's almost as darling as you sweet lady. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
