I have chosen my very first HAED project! It received a whopping zero votes! In the end, it came down to what I wanted to do. So! I will be doing the "Milady Blackberry" chart. It has been bought and downloaded and saved to my computer. I hope to get it printed out soon, but I won't be buying thread for at least a couple of weeks.
Usually the quick stitches or the story keeps tend to be cheaper than the regular sized charts. They can get a little pricey for bigger charts because you do have to buy the fabric and all the thread. I know I've spent nearly 30 dollars already on fabric and thread just for Catch a Falling Star and I am probably still going to need to buy at least another 30 or 40 skeins of thread, but on the upside, the large projects will most likely take you a long time to finish so when you spread the cost out over the course of say one year, then it's really not that bad.

I see your point. When you put it like that, it much justifies the money I will probably spend in fabric and thread.
I have narrowed down to three charts. I need your guy's help!

Ohhh I really like Black Orchid Fairy (the first one)!
The second choice would be Milady Blackberry!
Great choices though, I can see why it would be so hard to choose!

I like the black orchid fairy, the best (the first one)! But the most important thing is that you love whatever design you choose, because you'll be stitching it for a long time.

Sapphire Birthstone 15120/240000 6.30%
