I am linking with esther's blog for this wonderful wip wednesday,
and praise daily, especially remembering this week, The Saviour's finished, complete and perfect work on the cross - no more work in progress - we add nothing to it - it is complete in Him.
All praise and glory be to God :) we are saved by His grace, not by works lest anyone boast
- and how we do like to try to add works into the mix...nope - 'tis all His grace. Hurrah!
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: ephesians 2:8
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel... 2 Timothy 1:8-9
Hooray! My first Work in Progress Wednesday!! I have been a follower (albeit from a distance) of Work in Progress Wednesdays since I first started reading on Sharon's pintangle blog - I read back to see when it began..could it have been 2009? I have been reading her blog even before that, using it as a helpful stitch reference - anyway...
before shot of leaf and center flower (finishing up the first block of Quiltmania's mystery quilt block 2015) here is the after shot, showing the work in progress completed so far
these leaves have the addition of rust+blue dmc floss embellishments, and
the center flower has the addition of blue, bright pink/red straight stitches and bright pink/red french knots. ( my photo taking is a whole work in progress unto itself :P )
and have added filler stitches in as well
special thanks to Queenie, whose weekly postings of WIPW have inspired me these past years, so that I have finally joined along :D thank you!!
