I've finally recieved everything for it and finished all my WIP so I started this yesterday!! Heres what it will(hopefully) look like in the end:

And after 8 solid hours of stitching:

the finished piece will be 8" by 11" so not huge, and theres nice blocks of colour, so im not having to change colour every minute which is nice(not yet anyway) i've only used 1 colour so far

For a HAED that looks positively relaxing . A great start, and it's going to be such an adorable dragon!

Oh this looks like it will be fun! What a lovely little picture this will be. You've made a great start on it already.
Is this one of the Quick stitch Haeds?

He is pretty cute isn't he!! I don't think its a quick stitch but its not as big as some I came across an their website Thought this was a great size for a first attempt!

It is Jenny, it would be a great 'lead in' size, to show you if you wanted to attempt one of their larger projects, plus it already gets you used to their ways for stitching etc ...

I'll be interested to see how you get on and whether it inspires you to try a larger Haed.

that's the exact freebie i wanted to try...knowing there are big blocks of color and that it's smaller in size..brings great comfort!

you are doing great so far! very interested in seeing this progress!

Thanks CF-Yeah I had the freebie of this too, but when I was looking at their website I found this one, the freebie is only a small section of this one-so I had to get this one instead, just because the waves looked so fun to stitch!!

TB im really enjoying it so far so you never know..........

That does look a fabulous start. Well done!

Nice design, and great start - always nice when you can do one big patch without having to switch threads constantly! BTW what is a HAED?

Littlestitcher HAED stands for Heaven and Earth Designs. There is a web link in the Internet Sites thread. They a re very intricate and huge designs with many many color changes.

This one is adorable Jenny. You should have loads of fun stitching him.

i thought that looked bigger! lol

Looks great , u have made a great start well done.

That's a great start. Are your grids by page of instruction or some set size? Is that working for you? I'm looking to try the same thing on my next big project so I'm curious as to how you're working it.

That's a good start, good luck with it.

Great start! Congratulations for taking the plunge.

That looks a really good start I was tempted by the bedtime stories dragon I think from the same artist but I have too many WIPs at the moment.

Great start I look forward to seeing the progress on this one.

Well done Jenny on taking the plunge

It looks like a great design - hope you enjoy it.

It's going to be great following this super design

on your great start. Hurray for this HAED project for having large blocks of the same color! It'll be more fun to stitch then. Happy stitching!
