HAED WIP Julie Fain's Fairy Sisters-Updated Feb. 26th

Post by Spark »

Yay! My first HAED! It doesn't look like much yet but this is 5200 stitches. The majority of it was 1 color so I zipped through it quickly. This is what it looks like so far.

And this is what it will look like finished...

I'm doing it on 16 count Aida. There was no way I could do it on 25 count. My eyes are having enough trouble as it is. I'm doing it 2 over 1.

I have to say Spark I have wondered whether you would take up HAED charts they do seem to suit your stitching style very much!! I'm looking forward to seeing you progress on this one its such a lovely picture!

I think I've been corrupted! I had never heard of HAED until I got on this site! The only problem with the designs is trying to narrow it down to which one you want.

Wow a page done already?!? I have a couple of her charts on my wishlist, so it'll be good to see how this one turns out.
Beautiful work!

12 of the 14 colors is a shade of blue. Isn't that crazy?
