Louise, she is certainly lovely!

She is gorgeous, and the lino looks remarkably like ours

She is looking amazing, you are making great progress!!

And I'm with you on the decorating.....our whole house is in desperate need of re-doing but we prefer to spend our money on our hobbies & holidays

Oh she is great. You are doing a fantastic job.

Really pretty, well done! It can be seen that you love doing it.

She really is wonderful!
I have to say that I do love these colours together, but I can see that stitching them so constantly could get tedious at times unless you just absolutely love the picture.

I never noticed the floor till you mentioned it

Shes looking gorgeous! well done

Great work!

Beautiful

she looks amazing hun, great work

she really is beautiful make me wanna start one of the haed i have in my stash.

You have made amazing progress on her! And I totally get your point about really loving the design. It would be such a shame to spend so much time stitching a HAED only to end up disliking it!! I am sure that won't happen with the Queen tho, she's too beautiful.

Great progress - looking wonderful

Wow, amazing progress, Louise! 18 Pages!! You're flying through this and it looks gorgeous.

Next photo for this one - although a 'ghost' has mysteriously appeared on it!!!



Almost 2 full rows completed, save for a few filling-in stitches
Still really loving this design! A bit of background for you - the first time I saw it was in an advert for a website in the mail-order section at the end of a stitching magazine around 4 years ago, it was before I knew that HAED charts are stitched over one, so when I read that the recommended fabric was evenweave I was disappointed as I thought it'd mean loads of fractionals (I couldn't think how else they'd be able to get such lovely detail in!), "although very good results can be obtained with 18ct", so I was really put off as I imagined myself trying to keep track of quarter stitches on aida

Then the beginning of 2008 was when I got the Snow White chart, which I HAD to have, assuming fractionals & all, but when it arrived I was so pleased it was whole stitches, and started thinking maybe the bigger designs don't need to have fractionals.... found Queenie again on Sewalong website & the rest is history!!!

Louise
