Project Complete!

Proyecto completo!  Project complete!!!!

After my last post about failure, I needed some redeeming!  Here is my first completed project of the New Year!  (And, to be honest, if you can't tell, I am pretty pleased with it!)

 While I did not complete it "in a night" which is kind of what the pattern suggested, it went quite quickly after I started working on it.  It could definitely be completed easily in a few nights.

This one is to brighten my front door during these "dreary," after Christmas, winter months.  But, now that I have completed one, my mind wanders with the endless possibilities!!!!  Watch out!

Bag of cloth strips
1 yard turquoise material
1/2 yard of each - black print and white print material

First strip tied on 12 inch metal wreath

1" x 5-6" strips of material - cut with pinking shears

Back side with first row/section complete

Front side - part of first section complete

Showing the fullness - all depends on how close you tie the knotted strips

It is Well

PROJECT COMPLETE!

Finally, my reveal...and the picture definitely does not do it justice! I am pretty pleased with the way it turned out. We'll see what Bruce thinks. He'll see it when he gets home; it's part of his birthday present.

It is Well is his favorite (at least one of his favorites) hymns. While it has never been on the top of my favorites list - for various reasons - I must admit that it has grown on me and moving its way up on my list. Pay attention to the words and WOW - pretty powerful. Even more so after you know the history of the song and its writer.

Lord, may I be able to say, "It is well with my soul," in ALL circumstances.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. - Psalm 34:19
