Is a week & a half too long to keep my next update from you, even though I have them all ready on my camera film now it's developed lol?! Here's the next bit...



As of today I'm 79.3% done (Page 59 of 81!) - plus I'm off next week so hoping to get plenty more finished! I average a page a week (large format), while in my last week off I got 3 pages done And was just reading that the HAED finish reward programme starts again from 30th Dec-30th Jan, so I'm hoping to get it finished for then to get my free chart otherwise I'd have to wait till July.

A week and a half is much too long to make us wait for a piccie! She's looking beautifully, you're really flying along! I hope you make it in time for the reward.

Shes gorgeous and such great progress

Oh my she's beautiful -- and you're well on your way to that reward, especially with a 3-page week coming up !

she's just gorgeous louise, and so quick too! I'm jealous at your amazing progress, way to go

great progress its been good watching this one grow over the weeks!

Fabulous! And yes, a week and a half is much too long without a piccie

Good luck with making the reward - we're always happy to give or or as needed

OMG! 3 pages in a week! I couldn't even imagine doing that much in a week. I can't believe you are nearly to the 80% mark. I don't have any doubt at all that you can finish before the end of January to get a free chart! She's looking great and as always, I look forward to more pictures so no, you don't have to worry if it's only been a week and a half!

Hehehe, I don't want to give you an overload of seeing too much red lol!!!
Yes, I've decided it's good to have January as a target, just got to keep plugging away at it now

Oh brilliant! Well done. Can't believe how fast you're going.

Fantastic, I love it

Fantastic!! Great job!

The skirt is beautiful - so luxurious!

Thought you might be amused to hear about the dream I had about this again last night! - third dream I've had about this (first was where I'd added a sparkly gold border all around the edge, second where I realised the spare fabric was at the top instead of at the bottom where it should be!)
- I dreamt I'd started some pages of Lily of the Valley by the same artist on the same piece of fabric underneath, and it seemed I was only working for a while but did about 4 or 5 pages!
THEN it suddenly dawned on me I'd only left a couple of stitches' gap between where I was up to with Queenie and where I'd started Lily - so no room to fit the bottom rows of pages in!!! Why I was doing this I don't know, I don't even like Lily of the Valley that much!
Once again was a relief to wake up and see all is well - lots of spare fabric left and in the right place!

Shes coming on nicely.
Sounds more like a nightmare.

Do you think perhaps this project is getting to you a bit too much... ?

It's all that red ......

I think it has obsessed me a little bit...

And there was another dream I had about it, I forgot! - my Mum (who doesn't stitch) had finished Queenie for me! and I was so taken aback that she took it to mean I was angry - which you would be in a way, wouldn't you?!

Now then, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's had dreams about stitching?????!!!!
