HAED - Milady Blackberry (LU: March 27th)

Post by Jen2000 »

I have recently started the first "big" project I have ever done. Milady Blackberry is actually considered a quick stitch. You can buy the pattern your self here.

Image

I chose this pattern because it is very purple-oriented. :D I love purple. This pattern captured my eye immediately when I saw it. I don't know, I just absolutely love it!

I am doing this on on 28ct. White Evenweave. 1 over 1. :D

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Statistics:
June 01, 2009 to present
28ct. white Evenweave, 1 over 1
~1400 of 70,875 stitches (~0.19%)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I would like to thank the following people tremendously!
Minij - Thank you for the help in figuring out what this pattern would look best in (as far as the kind of stitches and amount of thread to use).
Sammy_v - Thank you for your support. :) Thank you also for giving me someone to chat with for hours straight so that I do not go insane from constant stitching. :D
Lisa - Thank you for your support also. I appreciate it very much. :) I PUT A PICTURE OF CURRENT PROGRESS UP! :P
Serinde - A very big thank you to Serinde! She sent me one of the only two colors I was unable to get! Thank you! :)

I couldn't stick to this without you guys! And this is just the beginning!

I will. :) I hope to do at least one update a week, but at the rate I am working on this, I think two a week would be better. I just put three hours in last night. :D

I will be spending a week or two away from home soon, I will take Milady, but I won't have a camera. So that will be a big update once I am home. :D

:applesauce: It's looking beautiful already, you're very lucky to be starting straight away with such lovely colours, the first whole page of mine was just black with a bit of purple & brown here and there!

You've made a good start on a lovely picture. And as you like purple it should be a pleasure to stitch. Just waiting for the updates...
