Hi, It sounds like a Forester--someone else just posted about one of those moths. Look for the thread that is similarly titled as yours. There's a link that you can look at to double-check the ID. Pretty moth! There must be lots of them this year! You'll enjoy all of the beauty that will come to your garden. Take care!

I just enjoyed rereading this thread and agree it seems like a good idea if we all send our pictures to Vicky, so that they will be anonymous for the judging. Is that all right with you, Vicky, and is the address given on your GW member page still OK? My wall hanging has gotten stalled for a while. It is at the point of needing its border put on, but the border I am thinking of is going to take time. The center part, which was the hardest, is now done. I have it draped over the back of a chair where I can't help seeing it every time I go through the living room, just to encourage myself to get it done. How are the rest of us doing? I can hardly wait to see what you all produce!

I just voted. I was getting cross-eyed--I've looked at these pics so many times. I liked so many of them.I wanted to vote for one where someone had tried a new technique.I wanted to vote for one with beautiful quilting (I'm weak in that area and I envy anyone that can do it ),I wanted to vote for one that appealed to me visually. I even wound up giving each one points for different aspects--detail, originality, visual appeal,etc. Then last night I thought, well, if I was given a choice of keeping one for myself--which would I choose? Made up my mind, went to vote and changed my mind again. LOL. I wish I could have had at least three votes!! Anyway, I've voted. I just wanted to say that this has been really enjoyable and if there's another challenge I'll join in. Everyone did such a great job. Clap yourselves on the back. ~Geraldine

Thanks for the feedback. I greatly appreciate it! Sophie, I love the grain, I think it's super lovely--and am hoping since it's engineered--and we live in humid Florida, that the Cumaru may be more stable than solid hardwood. But good points. Uptown, interesting point on the width; perhaps their 5" variety. Thanks kariyava, the polar is a warmer off-white which was my thought as well--a cool off white probably wouldn't look good at all. Mark_rachel, I agree that the picture looks more orangy than I think it looks in real life. I ordered a box and it's more of a warm brown. It has yellow-orange undertones, but not like the Brazilian Cherry or Tigerwood (which is always what it is next to in the stores, so it looks much browner comparatively. )
