Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Hi

I had never even heard of Heaven and Earth designs before joining this forum! I had a good look around the site and decided to start with something small and chose a "Quick Stitch" design.

This is the design I chose

There was no indication of size on the site, or number of colours, but I loved the design.
The chart arrived yesterday. Finished design is 4 x 4 1/2 inches and there are 90 colours! So I've now had to buy a 6 x 6 frame, magnifier, 25 count fabric, and will also have to invest in the threads I don't already have.

It will be a very expensive tiny picture, but I love it!

I'm trying not to be daunted by the 1 over 1, reminding myself that years ago I made my mother in law a paperweight using 42 count silk gauze!

I hold you all responsible for feeding my addiction!!!!

You've chosen a lovely design for your first HAED - I'm sure it will be the first of many and you'll end up a complete HAEDcase like many of us!

Looking forward to seeing you start stitching this.

what a very pretty design--and oh so small too!! I do hope you have a lot of fun stitching it!

I love the unicorn! It should be a lot of fun to stitch!

Thats a pretty design

Just so you know: there is a special room within St Cross Stitchers for all the HAED-cases.

A beautiful choice. I can't wait to see you stitch it!

Fantastic designe. I keep looking at HAED's but so far ive managed to resist temptation. But looking at all the HAED post on this forum, i dont know how much longer i can resist.

Me too.. I have way too many stashed away that I need to complete first, but it's so hard not to just buy a chart!

I'm looking forward to seeing your work on this project 3mad!

Love the colours of the sky! makes me want to start my first HAED too! Have had my pattern for ages but have not summoned up the courage to attack it yet! it's called Land of Enchantment.

Can't wait to see your progress!

Very good luck with your first HAED; you picked a beautiful design! Can't wait to see your progress updates .

I have often looked at them, love so many but never yet done any, hope too make a start on one after xmas

I certainly hope they're not trying to find a cure. I love my HAED (even though I have more than I will ever do in my lifetime).

Nah, it's a well known and incurable condition!
