"Joy and Peace" by LHN

Happy Friday Friends:

I had a lovely relaxing day off today. Something I really needed believe me...so it gave me time to do some fun things.

I finished my February ornament for the Christmas All Year Around SAL. The theme for February was Christmas tree. I chose "Joy and Peace" by Little House Needleworks. I used all of the recommended materials. The overdyed threads just really makes this piece beautiful. I love the richness of the colors.

I finished it as a flat ornament with the help of Vonna's most wonderful finishing tutorial here. The background fabric is the fabric on the back of the ornament.
