Celia 

Image preview  I don't know the designer. Painted canvas was purchased at Threads Too in Fair Haven.  I changed the colors of two trees - the two purple ones were red, and I thought there was too much red.  Stitches and fibers were my choice.  Finishing by Colleen Korth in Miami.  This was a lot of fun to stitch.

Image preview  I can't remember the designer. Canvas purchased at Threads Too.  My choice of threads and stitches.  It will be made into a huge egg standup.

I tried finishing this Alice Peterson canvas on my own. Finishing is no easy task- I need lessons. I applaud the finishers after doing it myself. I only did it because I needed it quickly. Attached are pictures of the front and back - the fabric in person matches the threads perfectly!

This is my second embroidered book that I stitched this month. I did this as a gift for a colleague's son. I am experimenting with different types of book cloth and I don't particularly like this one (Verona). I won't be using it again. The dragon is a design from Tanya Bentham of Opus Anglicanum Embroidery: https://www.opusanglicanumembroidery.com/ I am very pleased with how the applique turned out on the book cloth. I'll be using this technique again!
