Yarn Bomb

We are almost finished with the Yarn Bomb piece.  Last June one of the local Irish businesses was the victim of a hate crime.  We decided at Fiber Follies at the Irish Center we needed to do something to show support.  We came up with the idea of creating the few blocks between the Irish Center and Browne's and trying to show some love and unity.  The name of our street is Harmony-Ville (the banner for that is almost finished).  Our motto is All of Us Together As One.  We started with the Irish center on the left with some houses, Redempterist Church, VFW, more houses and ended at Browne's.  The 2 hearts will be put together on the right side of the piece.  The 2 banners will be at the front of the left side.  We will also put up sheets on each end that tells the story.  We are almost there and next week we will start putting together the piece on a backing ready for hanging.  We started this last August and it is finally almost done.  While it was fun, it was a ton of work and not sure I would take on something this large again, but then never say never.
