Very well done Carole
That is just stunning and you've finished in time too! I was only wondering earlier on how this was coming along, but have been rather busy over the last few days, so missed the actual finish.
Your sister will love all the hard work that Laverne has put into this (with your able assistance, of course!)
Make sure you post some piccies of it all framed up.
It looks so beautiful and elegant I am sure you must both be proud of your work.
I guess Laverne will help with the putting away of threads etc and getting out the next items. Mischief has vanished, I think to under the bed but not sure.
Like you Carole, I had never heard of HAED, Chatelaine, Mandalas, gridding, tenting,different sorts of even weave having more than 1 project on the go and oh so many other things so THANKS TO ALL FOR THE HELP AND EDUCATION.

Thank you. I think I have to wait until June for the next rewards program and I expect there are going to be way toooooooo many new designs I will want between then and now. But it will be fun looking.

I have a mini Be Good for Goodness Sake in my stash right now which is going to be a Christmas Present for my son who loves Santa. Just trying to decide if I want to tent stitch again. 3 over 1 on 22 ct is what I tested last night and think it will give the coverage I like. And a few minis in my Wish List. Vanessa, you will get them done in a month or less at your speed.

Congratulations on a beautiful finish. It's been great to watch this one grow, and I imagine that a lot of people will now be ordering minis now that they have seen how lovely they turn out.
Looking forward to your (and Laverne's) next project.

Although I only have 3 HAED BAP charts - I think that I will be going down the mini route. I know I will definitely want to start one of the BAPs as I really love the chart - I shall just have to be content with knowing it will take me a while......! I have a lot of minis on my wishlist and after seeing yours stitched up so beautifully Carole - I think that is the way I will be going with HAEDs........

I agree that minis are the way to go and don't think I will be getting a lot more BAP charts (she says). Since you can always request one to be a mini also, that is more and more of an option. I have 3 BAPs now and when I kit up Tabbies that makes 4.
For now.
