That is so stunning. I could almost be talked into this one, but the beading is definitely not my style so I'll stick with what I do. I love watching this one grow. You are doing a great job and keep those closeups coming!

beautiful update!! What an amazing piece this is!!

Beautiful, just beautiful!!!!!!!!

This is absolutely stunning !!! I just ordered my first Chatelaine and am hoping it will come soon. How many strands are you using to do the xstitich portion?

Fantastic progress, it looks exquisite Dana Hoorah for finishing the section

It looks like you are using a q-snap, will you be using a different frame when you have to move the piece around to protect the beads? Or is your q-snap a giant sized one?

Thank you everyone! I am loving the colors on this one sooo much! Especially since we are so hot right now - working on this almost makes me feel like I've taken a swim...

Kerri, I am using two strands for the cross stitches and single strands when called for in the specialty stitches. Can't wait to see you start Butterfly Lace! I think that might be my next Chat as it's so gorgeous and is calling to me very loudly from my cupboard...

Sam, that's the beauty of QSnaps - I can just add in pieces on the sides to make it larger as I go...

Wow This is stunning! The colours are amazing!!

So neat! This part is beautiful

Ooooo lets have a Butterfly Lace SAL - I'm getting the itch to start stitching on mine but have told myself not until September!

Glad you finished that section, it's just so beautiful. Looking forward to your next update, but by the sounds of it, that might be a while in coming. Good luck on your HAED.

Congratulations on getting that section finished and so beautifully too. Great update.

Thank you everyone!

Would love to do a Butterfly Lace SAL, I probably won't start mine until next near though. I'd really love to get a bit farther along on the two I've got going before I start a new one...

Here's my last update on this one for awhile. I've finished one fourth of part 4. Time for a break though. Now to just decide which HAED to go back to tomorrow...

Ooooo gorgeous Dana - you are really making me want to get my mitts on this one, even though I already have three that I haven't started yet. I'm still unsure when I will get down to some hardcore stitching on Butterfly Lace - part of me wants to clear my stitching "plate" of a few WIPs first, while the other part says to stop worrying and stitch on what you want when you want !

Which HAED is shouting to you?

Ooooh that is so pretty

So beautiful and intricate

Just lovely!! I can see this piece is going to be a very blingy thing indeed!!
