Towards the end of last year when I thought I would finished a couple of projects fairly soon I decided to do the 2011 QS freebie HAED. I doubt very seriously that I'll finish it this year. I picked Curl up with a Good Book. I think the confetti stitches are going to drive me nuts. I'm doing it on 22ct antique white hardanger in 3 over 1 tent stitches (I had the perfect size of left over fabric for this project). I tried a test piece of 2x1 tent and didn't like the coverage for the darker colors so I decided on the 3x1. I love the coverage. I had to enlarge the page to read the symbols better so I've only gone down just a little over half way down the page. This is my "sports" project. That means I usually only work on it while watching sporting events on TV. So far this is 5 hockey games and 1/2 of a football game whorth of progress.
I can't seem to find a picture of the QS so here is picture of the whole version of the chart.

It looks like a wonderful start! I can see how nice the coverage is with the 3 strands. You've got me thinking now....
