I ordered the pattern, read and re-read Grandma Mary's posts, watched the candle wreath video, and started in. The material and the ribbons and the shell stitch are very pastel so it isn't as eye-catching as some. Learned that the stuff I used for the stiffner was too stiff and better suited for a suitcase! The next time I try, I think I will use a hybrid of the two methods and see how that works. Also, the hole in the center of this one is large enough that my fat candles look lost, so I will make the next one with smaller squares. Everything I do is an experiment of some sort or another. Grandma's explanation was very helpful and I want to thank her for the detailed post and wish her good luck with her class. I know she will have very happy students.
