Friday's A Wintery Heirloom update

I work on my HAED on Friday nights. I worked about 4 hours on it last night and completed around 300 stitches. I have to tell you...I am really tired of this tree! It is nothing but confetti stitches so it is taking a while to stitch it up. I love the colors though.
The last time I posted everyone had comments on my threads hanging down. It really isn't scary, you just need to practice it. it really makes stitching a Haed project very easy. Once you learn to do it, you won't stop...it kinda carries over to all projects. I can post the steps to carrying threads....they are very easy to follow.

Wow, that's looking really pretty. I carry threads too, on almost all my HAEDs; I've found that it makes things much simpler, and speeds up my stitching.

I actually don't have a clue how to work in that way, so if you have the time to explain it, than this would be appreciated.

Wonderful progress! It is really horrible with confetti stitches but once you are over them, it is like 'whew! I did it!'

Wow it looks great already! It is nice how you see it grow! It is not always fun to do the confetti stitches, but it will look so great when it is finished! Love the colors too!
