This is The Peacock’s Garden from Fox and Rabbit Designs. It is a UFO.
I have another finish -- the GCC Shimmering Dreams that was sponsored by the Metropolitan Region. Of course, I didn't follow all of the designer's directions to make it more pleasing for me. I plan to have this framed.
American Flag Pin, designed by Carol Light of Light House Designs. Featured as the July 2017 project on the EGA Stitch Along group on Facebook. I finally added the pinback.

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.
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 have completed the stitching on the GCC Perfectly Counted Crosses which is a UFO. Since I will not be submitting this GCC for evaluation I did not follow the designer's requirements. And if you're wondering about the base fabric -- it's called parchment from Fabric Flair and is a 28 count even weave.

stash sale from ANG's Royal Palm Chapter in Miami. There is also a pink one - both
are currently with the finisher.

Attached is a picture of my Copper Moon. This was the most recent chapter
Zoom class with Toni Gerdes. I did my own interpretation of the moon and also
changed the stitches on the two borders and added a "fillet" (like framers add).

Right now, I only have one finish though I am very close with Under a Copper Moon -

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!
Heather K
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!

Autumn Fireworks designed by Anna-Marie Anderson-Mayes of Beautiful Stitches.com.au. I chose to stitch this in the blue colorway. I had the instructions in my stash for a long time, but if the chapter hadn’t offered this, I don’t know if I would have ever started it. This is a finish in the UFO Challenge
