I will not be doing a true HAED. I bought a zodiac but I am making many changes to the pattern before I even start to stitch. I hope I can start some time in late summer early fall but have to get time on the computer to make the changes, currently stitching is taking all of my time.

What kind of changes are you making?

Well to begin with I had the HAED site remove the background as I do not want the whole thing stitched. The fabric I have has a design on it already and I want that to show through.

Then is has a main design in the center with smaller designs on the outside edges. Some of the smaller designs do not work with the person I am making this for so they will go away and one of the prominent designs will be moved so as to better center it. All of these changes have to be made first so that I know where to space things. It is taking some time but will be worth it in the end.

Wow! That sounds like as much work as actually stitching it! I'm sure it will be lovely when its done though

Looking good! I like this picture!

wow . another good project .
this is going to be fab.

ally.

You've made a great start! Love the design ^^

Great start, looking forward to seeing more

I wish the metallic would show up in the photos It looks really cool with the sparkly places.

I am used to the tiny stitches now so it seems to be going a bit faster now. I like this one - it's a lot of fun

It's a shame I can't tell which bits are metallic. But it's grown!! And I like the dragonfly!

i want to do mine NOW!

perhaps I should get off here and finish my orders and my dragon/castle..lol

great job!

Looks wonderful. It is sad the metallic does not show better in a photo.

yay your making a lovely start with this

Oooo I want one but I promised myself I would finish Beloved before I bought owt else...........BUT since I joined this site I have not managed one stitch cause theres so many HAED threads to follow and not enough time

Your doing a great job on yours

Looking great!

It's beautiful!

Thanks! I wish there was a way to get the metallics to show up in the pictures!
