Kell's HAED BUtterflies Galore Storykeep

Post by kell »

Now that Charlie is all finished and at the framer's, it's time to start another (quite) major project for my "anything I fancy" week in my stitching schedule, so I've decided it's time to attempt my first ever HAED.

This is what it should look like when it's finished.

Butterflies Galore Storykeep by Jasmine Beckett-Griffith:

I received the final 57 threads through the post the other day, so I now have all my colours ready (although the new ones aren't bobbined-up yet) and plan to make a start on 15th April (or possibly even sooner if I get my April biscornu finished before then).

I'm looking forward to starting this project as I've been dying to give HAED a try, but at the same time I'm rather terrified, as I've never attempted anything so intricate before, which is why I'm doing a storykeep rather than a full-size project for my first one.

Very colorful design. I love the monarchs - I seem to be going through a butterfly phase right now. Good luck on your first HAED!! :D

Lovely project. I did have to re-read your post twice though - you've just received the final 57 colours? For a storykeep? :shock:

3. About to start
4. After 2 hours and 40 minutes of stitching (which is actually all in very dark navy blue, not black)

1. Image 2. Image 3. ImageImage
