This table runner is beautiful, if I do say so myself. When I wash a multicolored project like this one, especially the first time, I add 1/2 cup of white vinegar to help set the colors. I know, the thread package says boilfast, but I just like to be sure. This pattern is at: freepatterns.com - pineapple rainbow runner.
Here's what I was thinking as I was planning this wreath.....
Colors: white for Jesus' purity, gold because Jesus is King of kings, red for Jesus' blood, green for the new life He gives us.
There are 7 angels of silver metallic thread. 7 is the number of perfection and completion, and Jesus is perfect. These angels represent the angels who announced Jesus' birth.
The angels are sort of cross shaped. Jesus was born to die on the cross for our sins.
The 8th angel at the top is of gold metallic white thread and is holding a trumpet to represent the angel who will blow the trumpet to announce Jesus' return for His church.
8 is the number of resurrection and regeneration. 8 is 7 + 1 and since it comes right after 7, which means a completion, 8 means a new beginning.
Some examples from the Bible of 8 as a new beginning:
8 people in Noah's ark (new beginning after the flood)
God made 8 covenants with Abraham
Jesus called himself the "Son of Man". This term occurs 88 times.
Jesus rose on the first day of the week after He was crucified, an 8th day.
Jesus appeared 8 times to His followers between His Resurrection and his Ascension.
In Greek numerology, the numbers of Jesus' name add up to 888.
Revelation has 888 Greek words.
Merry Christmas!!
