Christmas Patchwork Wreath Workshop with Janet Goddard
Advertisement
Create a beautiful Christmas wreath quilt that can be transformed into a mini quilt, wall hanging, cushion or table centre – the perfect handmade decoration for the festive season.
You’ll piece together a combination of small squares and half-square triangles, watching your wreath gradually take shape into this charming Christmas design. With careful fabric placement, simple patchwork techniques create a wonderfully effective wreath that is both traditional and contemporary.
The finished project measures approximately 26" square, making it a versatile size for displaying around your home or giving as a special handmade gift.
This is also a fantastic project for using up your fabric scraps. The original wreath was made using just white, green and red fabrics, with many of the fabrics being non-Christmas prints – proving that you don’t need a stash of festive fabrics to create something wonderfully Christmassy!
Choose your own colour combination to make the wreath uniquely yours, whether you prefer traditional reds and greens, softer neutrals or something completely different.
