I have now started my very first HAED.
A few weeks ago I had not even heard of them (I blame you lot !)
I had only Anchor threads when I started preparing so I had to translate all of the thread colours (90+) from DMC
I decided to use 18 count DMC magic guide premarked Aida to make life easier for me.
I also blew up the chart so that each original page was split over 2 A4 sheets to make it easier to follow.
I have got on quite well so I will post my first update soon !
Wish me luck
Kerry

This is a really pretty one, will be good to watch and also to see how the DMC/Anchor conversion turns out
Hmm how long before you are tempted by another HAED chart... and another... and another.......

Much though I like following the progress on the fantasy HAEDs, these flowers are much more the sort of thing I'd do myself, so it will be wonderful to watch this grow!

I also had never heard of HAEDs until I came to this forum. When I checked out the designs the Iris bowled me over. So far, just dreaming about it but will love to follow your progress. The fantasy designs leave me cold.

Thanks guys I'm also not so keen on the fantasy designs as they are not the sort of thing that I would hang in my home, but I liked the idea of a HAED design so I chose this one.

I agree, although I can't see me ever doing one, flowers or not, but I do love this one.

Me too. When I joined the forum it took me a couple of days to find out what HAED meant!
I love this Iris design.
