Well, I held off starting this one. I am really struggling with my Faerie Bride HAED right now. I'm going to finish her though before I move on to anything else. I am close but the last page and a half are nothing but confetti. I'm afraid if I stop working on her now, I won't want to go back to her... So I'm going to try really hard to finish her this weekend so I can start this one ASAP. Then I plan on switching back and forth between my two Chatelaines, hoping I won't get bored with the repetition in the patterns that way! :)

Ooooo you are being very good and controlled :D. Once you've finished Faerie Bride you will be all fired up and ready for your Chats! I'm the opposite way around at the moment - desperate to finish my Chat so I can start a new HAED! I think it's a really good idea to stitch Konstantinople with another Chat as it is the same design repeated on all four sides which I know I would find difficult to stay motivated. After CGM I never want to stitch bamboo or vases again after stitching them 8 times!

Looking forward to seeing a finished Faerie Bride soon!

I'm very impressed that you've managed to wait so far. I'm quite impatient to see it myself actually.

Sorry everyone, still haven't started it... Got temporarily sidetracked - I signed up for an online box finishing class and only have 3 (make that 2 more) weeks to get the piece stitched for it. It's a Tralala quickie, C'est le Printemps, so should have it done this weekend for sure. Then maybe, I can start this one... :)

Here's a pic of the Tralala piece. I'll start a thread for all the smalls I'm working on tonight maybe... :)

Had to edit the quote since I had never said it before, but now I'm saying "ditto to that"

Thanks girls! I think it will make a cute box top... Hope I don't mess up the finishing too badly but it's an easy chart, so can always do it again if I do :)
