Hello, everyone.

I have been working diligently on this piece. I am now halfway through my 10hr rotation on it. This is it's 3rd time in rotation.

As you can see, I'm not very far along, but I am very proud of it, non-the-less. I seem to have gotten the hang of parking my threads, as well as working on 25ct.

All I can say is,"WHEW"

Took some time and lots of determination (stubborness???) but I'm there. I don't see anything holding me back again.

Thank you to all who didn't give up on your own projects and posted pics of your progress. I learned from each and every one of you! And all the advice and encouragements ... well ... I wish I could give everyone a great - BIG - giant- hug

looks great. I am very impressed with your parking also.

I am definitely going to be paying attention to this one as I have it in my stash. Going to go on the dragon afghan at some point (I hope). Keep the updates coming.

That is awesome Pattie, and such rich colours too. Well done with being determined/stubborn and getting it together. Great on your parking too.

A big HUG back at your for sticking with it.

Well Done.

Great work, I admire you for being able to park. I still have not got the patients to have all those threads hanging while I work!!!!!!!

That is really going to be pretty. That parking looks very confusing to me. Don't know if I will ever try that.

Great start

Well done on sticking with the parking. I'm afraid I'm with Rose on the threads dangling though - I think they'd drive me nuts!!!

Thank you for your lovely comments...

As for parking, well, I read about it over and over again, and thought about it over again some more. Then I had to forget my usual way of stitching (cross-country) because whenever I had the needle in my hand and there was a stitch in sight, I couldn't do it if it was to be parked. (aack)

At this time, I don't really have alot of threads dangling, so it's not too bad.

Anyway. Thanks for letting me share...

My little dragon has an eye!!!

At the end of this rotation, I discovered that all the confetti became an eye - how cool is that???

awwwwwwwwwww so adorable.
That little eye is so cute and you are doing a fantastic job of stitching!!

Great update. That is what I love a out the HAEDs. All of a sudden there it is, looking like its supposed to. I am always amazed. When a face or an ear or a bonnet appears it is so cool. I am sure that happens with other designers, but usually it seems like I had to wait for back stitching to finish the image. I am looking forward to this one coming up in your rotation again.

Beautifful Pattie

! It always amazes me that a group of tiny stitches, all different colours, can actually turn into something with HAEDs - that eye looks so cool!

A very clear eye
