Country Craft Projects - Patchwork Wreath
Materials: 8- 2" x 2" squares of different color
calico; 1/2 bag of fiberfill; 1-1/2 yard cotton lace; 3 yards 2" Scotch plaid ribbon.
Instruction:
Sew together 4- 2" x 2" squares of
varying
prints to form a 4" x 4" square. Repeat. Draw a circle which touches each of the
joining seams. A, B, C, D. Draw a smaller inner circle. Cut out both of the circles and
place the prints face to face. Stitch them together 3/4 of an inch in from the edge. Leave
a small opening to stuff the fiberfill inside, after inverting the material. When a
complete donut is formed, tie ribbons around where the seams are formed and tie into bows.
Also tied bows at the midway points and an extra large bow at the top.
Variation shown in photo has 8 different patterns
side by side. This is achieved by sewing together the 4 pieces as explained above and then
cutting diagonally across from corner to corner and creating an additional "pie
slice." Sew all the sides together and cut out the center and round the edges.
Continue as above.
Take large scotch plaid ribbon and wind around
wreath, pulling as you twist so that each time a small amount of the cloth in-between
puffs up. Join the two ends and the bottom and sew together. Make a large bow and stitch
on at this joint.
