Two Works in Progress

I can't believe it is already mid-September.  Where did the month go?  I have been busy gardening, canning and other summer activities.  Hopefully winter will hold off a bit longer although I have enjoyed the fall weather we have had recently.

I am leading my local EGA's year long project for 2016.  We are stitching ANG"s Stitch of the Month 2011 by Ro Pace. (I love her designs!) I stitched it once on congress cloth using some of my favorite colors.

I never finished that one. 
But then I decided I needed to stitch it on 18 count canvas and to use colors that I normally don't stitch with.  Here is what I came up with:

I need to redo a few squares, but I like it.  Something to hang for the Fourth of July.  Hopefully I will get them both done before the end of the year.
