[burgundyice]

Is a week & a half too long to keep my next update from you, even though I have them all ready on my camera film now it's developed lol?! Here's the next bit...



As of today I'm 79.3% done (Page 59 of 81!) - plus I'm off next week so hoping to get plenty more finished! I average a page a week (large format), while in my last week off I got 3 pages done And was just reading that the HAED finish reward programme starts again from 30th Dec-30th Jan, so I'm hoping to get it finished for then to get my free chart otherwise I'd have to wait till July.

A week and a half is much too long to make us wait for a piccie! She's looking beautifully, you're really flying along! I hope you make it in time for the reward.

[Mabel Figworthy]

Oh my she's beautiful -- and you're well on your way to that reward, especially with a 3-page week coming up !

Fabulous! And yes, a week and a half is much too long without a piccie

Good luck with making the reward - we're always happy to give or or as needed

OMG! 3 pages in a week! I couldn't even imagine doing that much in a week. I can't believe you are nearly to the 80% mark. I don't have any doubt at all that you can finish before the end of January to get a free chart! She's looking great and as always, I look forward to more pictures so no, you don't have to worry if it's only been a week and a half!

[burgundyice]

Hehehe, I don't want to give you an overload of seeing too much red lol!!!
Yes, I've decided it's good to have January as a target, just got to keep plugging away at it now

Thought you might be amused to hear about the dream I had about this again last night! - third dream I've had about this (first was where I'd added a sparkly gold border all around the edge, second where I realised the spare fabric was at the top instead of at the bottom where it should be!)
- I dreamt I'd started some pages of Lily of the Valley by the same artist on the same piece of fabric underneath, and it seemed I was only working for a while but did about 4 or 5 pages!
THEN it suddenly dawned on me I'd only left a couple of stitches' gap between where I was up to with Queenie and where I'd started Lily - so no room to fit the bottom rows of pages in!!! Why I was doing this I don't know, I don't even like Lily of the Valley that much!
Once again was a relief to wake up and see all is well - lots of spare fabric left and in the right place!

Shes coming on nicely.
Sounds more like a nightmare.

[Mabel Figworthy]

Do you think perhaps this project is getting to you a bit too much... ?

[mags]

It's all that red ......

[burgundyice]

I think it has obsessed me a little bit...

And there was another dream I had about it, I forgot! - my Mum (who doesn't stitch) had finished Queenie for me! and I was so taken aback that she took it to mean I was angry - which you would be in a way, wouldn't you?!

Now then, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's had dreams about stitching?????!!!!
