This conflict is how I am feeling about Dragons almost being complete... almost.
Yesterday I finished the 2nd to last page. There was a lot of yellow, ivory and white. While it's quick, it's boring. And who knew it took so many hours to put in that many rows of all in a row stitches!
And so I present Dragons, with only 1 (one!) page to go:
That said I have until end of May, if I need, to get it framed and into the stitching competition that our famous Calgary Stampede, holds each year. I haven't entered anything in a few years, and while I am quite certain Dragons won't win (it's not the 'style' of what usually wins) I figure it deserves it's 10 days on public display. LOL!
Otherwise things are coming along. I just resisted the urge to go and check out eBay. Which means that I've gone an entire long weekend without checking!!! (it's Family Day here in Alberta, so day off work which is always nice).
Happy Stitching!

Congratulations! Not long now (in the scheme of things anyway).
beautiful work, love it
Woohoo!!! Well do e on your page finish mel!! I remember when dragons was just starting, seems so long ago now but well done for sticking with it!
WOW Mel!! Your dragons are stupendous! I think they deserve more than the 10 days glory!
Only one more page to go, that's incredible! Congrats on the page finish, I'm crossing my fingers for a quick finish now ^_^
Oh, so beautiful! You are so close!
I'm cheering for you to finish!
I remember when you started this, and it's great you are soooo close to finishing! :)
It's just stunning!
It might not be the style of stitching that usually wins, but I think you have a really good shot. They'd have to be crazy not to give you an award for that beautiful stitching!
Congrats!! At least the last page has some wing in it so not as boring. It looks great!
Congrats! You're almost there. Even if it doesn't win, people will still admire it.
Your Dragons are beautiful and deserve time in the spotlight. And in my opinion deserve to win an award. Great job!
Your dragon is beautiful. This inspires me to stick with my huge project. I get discouraged and tend to jump into smalls. Inspires me to persevere
Congrats on page finish Mel. It looks awesome and so close now.

Wowowow!! It looks amazing, and just one more page. Stick with it and wow the judges at the competition!
Your Dragons are so impressive. They certainly deserve time in the spotlight! I think they should win an award too for all the work that has gone into them. Well done Mel!

Wow it's looking so great. In a funny way you will probably miss stitching on it
That is sooooo exciting, Mel! Working on an HAED myself makes me appreciate how much work it is.
I hope you can get it framed in time for the competition. I plan to enter my Sunflower Sampler if it is completed.
Eek so close!! I feel like a finish of a HaED deserves some sort of magical stitching award. I hope you get it completed in time for it's 10 days of glory in public!
So exciting! It's beautiful. Congrats now and more congrats soon to come!
WOW Dragons looks awesome!
Congratulations on your page finish! Cheering you on to finish that last one. I entered a Chatelaine in the VA State Fair this year and won best in show and it definitely was not what stylistically what had won in previous years, so maybe different is good
If I were judging you would have my vote for a win just because DRAGON. This is beautiful!
Wow!! You are so close!! Good luck on finishing your dragons!
Beautiful piece
I wish we had a competition over here
Wish you a lot of joy stitching the last page
Look forward how you are going to frame it
This is an amazing piece and you are so close now.
Have you been stitching this for the entire length of your blog?
I definitely think it deserves to be on display whether it wins a ribbon or not. If only to inspire other people to persevere with their own Epic Stitches.
Wow, you are so close now =) Dragons will be amazing when it is finished and framed, but I will miss it's updates =/ I have been following your work o this for quite a while and I truly can't imagine that there won't be further updates ;-)
But I am super excited to see it finished and framed =)
I'm sure I've said it before, but I've been watching this project since you started it, and it's so lovely to see it coming together!
Oh wow, you are getting nearer to the finishing line - only one more page to go, that's great.
HOLY SHMOLEY! This is amazing…..the finish is right around the corner.

Oh wow! You're so close to the finish line! Good luck for the last page and the excitement of putting in the last stitch. I really can't wait to see the finished piece! :)
Good luck and can't wait to see the finished piece!!! I know the excitement is probably killing you (it would be me!)
Amazing work!!
