A Rag Wreath from Holly

My dear friend Holly from Girls at Heart won my Christmas in July giveaway. Holly is one of the first three friends I made through blogging and I was so excited when her number was drawn. Right away I knew I wanted to throw in a few extra things. I sent them along to her in brown paper packages, tied up with string.
Holly has shown us a few of these rag wreaths she makes, and every time I've wanted it. Imagine how happy I was to get a package a few days ago with this pretty pink one inside! That Holly knew just the color I'd want too! There's no way I'm giving mine up, but if you want to make one, Holly was kind enough to do a rag wreath tutorial last spring. Here's a close up of all the pretty fabrics, ribbon, and rick rack Holly used. It's so pretty, I just love it!
She even sent along this sweet little card she made with the wreath. It's so darling! I've got it displayed on my shelves in my craft room where I can see it all the time. Thank you Holly for such a lovingly made gift! I appreciate your friendship and support, big {HUGS}!!!

  2. Oh! It's fun to see one of my creations on another blog! Thanks for giving a link to the tutorial, Katie. I've enjoyed making these so much and I know others will, too.
    I meant to tell you that you would probably have fluff the wreath up and maybe do some tugging and snipping here and there. But you probably already figured that out! ☺

    It was fun to suprise you and I hope you enjoy the wreath! ♥
