Hehehhe 56 pages in all - eeeeeek!

[bluenoseshelley]

eeek 56 pages thats scarey i cant wait to make a start on wrath and vanity i love lust's dress too and the lovely long flowing hair i know vanessa on here has the set of seven too i am not sure if she likes gluttony though i guess you do that one last if you have it and are not keen but i find if i dont like something much it ends up as a UFO after a while but im sure you can do it rachel

[karen4bells]

yes, that is scarey---but will be well worth it when she's finished!!

[JenEric]

Another HAED I will enjoy watching come to life. We'll keep cheering you on. Imagine smily with pom poms here!

56 pages

I love this design and I can't believe how much you have done already! I am too ashamed to post a picture of my small progress from the last 2 nights!!

[Vani]

You are getting along well. Keep it up!!!

[rachel7378]

Thankyou ladies!

I'm plodding along trying to get page one finished fully now, I'm jst so looking forward to getting to her hair which is on page 3. But the stitching the background is interesting as it isn't just a colour background and it has some detail in it.

I started Queen of Hearts a few years back and hated stitching it even though I loved the artwork. I just couldnt get through all the background, but with this one as there is trees and pillars, I think i can do it!

Wow Amazing progress for only a couple of days!!!

Yes I am not so keen on gluttony but it's part of the set so I got it anyway. Envy is one of my favourites. You have made a good start with this one. The greens are beautiful.
I am going to do wrath first

OH YES! Someone is stitching envy! I am so jealous because I can't wait to stitching this one. I have all seven as well and am currently stitching wrath (on page . You must have bought the large format if you have 56 pages...which is what I have! This is looking great so far!

Ooh must go take a look at your Wrath Yep Envy is the large format version. It is so tempting to start another 'sin' when you have the full collection isn't it?! Lust is tempting me at the moment, if I could successfully rotate pieces, she'd be a lovely contrast to stitching all the green in Envy!

rachel i love the queen of hearts design did you ever finish it? would be great to see your progress on it and we can all encourage you to complete it during ufo week if you like

by the way what are you stitching envy on ? im doing my umbrella sky on 18ct aida and find it really small after rotating with chrysella on 14 ct

[K1nS]

What a pretty design, great work so far

[rachel7378]

I gave up totally on queen of hearts, I got quite far along with her but just couldnt stitch her anymore as I hated all the background. I got the first row of pages complete but abandoned it completely and in a moment of madness got rid of her (it felt very liberating at the time lol) I much prefer the HAEDs with more detailed backgrounds.

I'm stitching Envy on 25 count cream lugana and doing half cross stitch. I really like 25 count, but couldn't stitch on anything like 28 ct or higher, I have no idea how people do that!

[rachel7378]

Another update everyone!

[burgundyice]

This is coming along great, such lovely - and I think quite unusual - shades of green!

As you probably know I finished Queen of Hearts, and looking back now I don't know how I did it just working on that one project for a year!! Now I like my rotation so much as it gives me a change each time a page is finished, I think that's what I'd recommend to get background pages done, couldn't do them all at once, don't know how I did it!

[karen4bells]

Looking very nice!!!

[bluenoseshelley]

looks great is that page one finished ? i cant wait to finish some of mine and do wrath and vanity lol this will be gorgeous please keep going cant believe you threw queen of hearts away i was thinking of doing that one someday myself but might not now you said the background is hard as boring keep up the great work rachel
