Sarah's HAED - Bubble Telescope (Marchetti)

Post by Sarah Gixxer »

Here I am, back at the beginning of my rotation again! Bubble Telescope is the first HAED I started, on Christmas Day 2008. I was so excited to get the chart and materials that I stayed up until 1am on Christmas Eve so that I could get started with 100 stitches!

This one measures 21 x 28 inches and I'm stitching 2 over 1 tent stitch on ivory 25 count Lugana.

Here's what it looks like

I'm over halfway with it and started on it again at the weekend, but it's been slow going with the weather being so hot - my hands keep getting sticky despite fans on and everything. There will be a progress picture eventually! :D

At long last I have an update! I haven't been stitching so much while it's been so hot - I think my stitchy bug preferred sitting in the sun to encouraging me! Anyway, a page is done at last - next time around I'll get the row finished.

WOW :shock:
Amazing stitching. The colours in this are wonderful. I know what you mean about warm weather stitchy bug departure. It's actually raining here today for the first time in a long time and I'm delighted. Stitching day!
Look forward to your next update.
Cheers :toast:

:applesauce: :applesauce: This is one of the most beautiful pieces I've seen (but I think I say that about most, if not all, of your stitching). The colors are gorgeous and your progress is amazing!
You even have Vanessa amazed at your speed. I am awestruck by the beauty of your stitching and the pace that you work at.
