:applesauce: Hip Hip Hooray :applesauce:
Great job. A page is a page is apage. And this one looks so good. Your stitching is so neat and the coverage is great. Worth the effort of testing and finding the right threads.
I understand that your other pieces are calling for attention, but it must be hard to leave this one for even a little while.

Looks fantastic! :applesauce:

And I must be the slowest stitcher on the face of the earth. It's taken me a month to finish one page of one of my HAED's. And that isn't even a true page, because this pattern I got in the larger size. :lol:

This should be interesting to see stitch up because I don't think I've seen anyone start bottom right on a HAED before. Good job!

Thank you all for your lovely comments.

Mabel, I've managed to put it down for a little bit. I've set on a 10hour ish rotation that seems to be working for me so Sistine chapel is due back on the hoop in about 15hours, probably next Wednesday, maybe Tuesday if I get some longer stitching sessions in!!!!

I've rambled about my new rotation here : http://www.crossstitchforum.com/viewtop ... =4&t=16504

Well I've done a little longer than a 10 hour rotation this time as I was waiting for the threads for the Celtic Knot and didn't want to start anything else.
