This blog was created by Cindy F. and Wendy for HAED (Heaven and Earth Designs) stitchers all around the world to stitch-a-long, encourage, inspire, learn from one another and build friendships along our stitching journeys. No matter how small or large your HAED Design may be, we hope you'll join us in posting your progress and finishes. We have set a SAL (stitch-a-long) day for Thursday, but if that doesn't always work for you, we hope you'll stitch and post whenever possible and post your progress weekly. For those who haven't quite worked up the courage ;) to start an HAED project yet, we hope you'll enjoy watching ours progress and join us soon!! Let's encourage each other by commenting and cheering each other on. Advice and helpful hints also welcome:)
To join, please leave a comment on this post and we'll send an invitation (to the first 100). PLEASE NOTE: WE MUST HAVE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS TO SEND YOU AND INVITATION!!! YOU MAY EMAIL US @ cindy2k2tx@yahoo.com or info@in2hobby.be IF YOU DON'T WISH TO LEAVE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS IN THE COMMENTS. Please introduce yourself and tell us where you're from and what you're stitching:)
Let's have fun...enjoy our journey together!

I'd really love to join this group. I'm stitching my first HAED - Jolly Old Fellow. I'm currently working on page 3.
I'm in too!!!! I'll need all the cheerleading I can get to finish this thing before I turn 104, lol.
Hello everyone!
I'd love to join your blog. I have three HAEDs in my weekly rotation with "Caelia" by Fenech as the focus piece.

Hi Cindy and Wendy
Congratulations on the new blog, I have tried to leave a comment on Cindys blog to comment on this but my computer was playing up and it would not let me!
My progress is slow on my HAED at the moment but I would love to join.
Hugs Lynn B
Would love to join your group. I am actually not doing any more rounds in exchanges and wanted to focus on some of my pieces :) so HAED Red Poppy - Here we come!
Laura
Good Morning!
What a grand idea, and thank you Lynn for leading me to this group!
Does already having 7 patterns sitting here taunting me qualify for membership? I've got more on my wish list, so I had better live well into my hundreds, with good eyesight! lol
My introduction to HAED was at a LNS, when I was heady from hyperventilating, being reintroduced to all of the new patterns after a several year absence from the grander world of cross stitching.
My eyes fell upon "A Long Winter's Nap", and I snatched it up, eyes glazing over, and wondering "Can I do this?", well of course I can! And into the basket it went. Then in complete delirium, I added "Snowman".
On a later trip, I found two of Jane Wooster Scott's images made into patterns, so I had to have those, just for the whimsy fun of them. I bought "Sailing Through Life", and "A Real Snow Job".
I swore, no more HAED patterns until I at least get started on some of these. Well, that was before I saw the QS Iris pattern. My older daughter loves Iris, and this would be perfect in her home. I have actually gotten the fabric and floss for this one, because I'd like it to be a gift before she is 50 years old! (she is now 40) lol
As for my latest acquisitions, "Moon Goddess" and "Spririt of the Elements", which just came in the mail last week, I have explanation. I'm still trying to figure out how they got here. I have no recollection of ordering them, at all! lol (that's my story, and I'm sticking to it!)
So maybe with the inspiration and encouragement that I receive from everyone every time I read their wonderful blogs, I'll actually get started on these projects!
Everyone have a beautiful day!
Suzie
Suzie! Love your comment! Please send us your email address so we can send you an invite to join our group! We'd love to have you here:)
I haven't quite conquered my fear of the HAED stitch counts yet, but I am definitely getting close. I've narrowed down my choice to two designs- as soon as the family budget allows, I think my resolve will weaken and I'll just go for it and order one. In the meantime, I'm going to love following your progress!!!
Hi, I would love to join the Head SAL. I have been trying to start Christmas Journey. Have the design, threads and fab but just can't seem to put needle to fab.
I bought my first two on a visit to Nordic Needle last year. I'm not telling how many since the. LOL
I work full time in a big corporate office in Dallas, live with a very supportive DH and a shellbaby, have stitched 40+ years with not much to show. I vow to start this Thursday.

What an inspiring idea! Is there room for one more? My goal is to finish the top row of pages on Vacher's "Sacred Hour" as well as finish the HAED freebie "Day Dreaming." Currently I am stitching JBG's "A Pale Comparison" and minutes ago I just bought my first Kinuko Y. Crafts chart. I'm certainly going to need some inspiration for that one!

Hello from Wales
My name is Sheila and having just starting stitching again after a long break have been lucky enough to be sent an invitation to join in on the HAED SAL. After looking at the HAED site there were so many designs I wanted to do and after chatting about this with my sister she bought me the chart I wanted as an early birthday present (Cats) - lucky me. After spending hours preparing my threads and gridding the fabric I raring to go.
I am pretty useless at blogging but am sure I will get better soon. I have just started stitching and will try and add a pic of my progress on here butI can't do it then you can take a look at my blog
Good luck to everyone - I look forward to reading your blogs and seeing your progress. If anyone else is stitching or has sttiched HAED Cats I'd love to hear from you http:\\totallythreadup.wordpress.com.
