Blue Bird - Page 1 finish and Millennium tree update

Hi all!

After a break from my stitching I returned to it last month and wanted to share my updates. I have finished page 1 of Blue bird by J. Wall. This is a large format chart and there are 121 pages of it! Yikes! I am stitching it on 28 ct 1 over 1. Started Aug 2011.



Also I am working away at my Millennium tree. I am stitching it on 20 ct 2 over 1. Here is how I left it last night :D



Happy stitching all xxx

Blog post

Morning, Fellow Haed Stitchers.

 

I have been a "Buddy" for a while now, but somehow my posts didn't go through, so Louanne has told me how to do it directly.  I haven't done this before, so I hope it works.  And I confess, my stitching time has been on the back burner this year...but I am going to do better in the future so I decided it was time to try this again.

 

I am currently stitching on two HAEDS.  Kuck's Dancing with the Cat, which I have been working on off and on now for a year or so, and Gelsinger's "Be Good for Goodness Sake - Mini", which I hope to finish in time to give to my daughter this year for Christmas.

Be Good for Goodness Sake Started 8-15-11

I so love this group.. watching everyone's progress, and I promise to be consistent with my updates and send them often.

Faerie Melody & QS Waiting as of 29th October 2011 by Gizzimomo

Hi guys

Here we go with TWO new HAED updates!

First up is the promised page finish on Faerie Melody. Page 10 has seen more of her wing appear, more of the magic melody and the tops of the flower bush in the background. No too exciting but looking great though! Can't wait to fins the butterfly at the bottom of this column!

Page 10 Done (Sorry the pic is a bit fuzzy)

Progress So Far

I finally had enough of the grubby streak on the fabric and have now given her a bit of a wash on the frame and she's currently drying over the bath. Looks much better now!

I've also done some more work on QS Waiting, not much but a little bit. Mainly some background but there's the start of an eye and you can see the starts of the flowers!

Page 2 Progress

I'll be back with another Waiting update very soon!

Wow I have really enjoyed ready everybody's post this week as I have not had much time to

stitch I have only made a little progress at least I'm a little closer to another page finish...

 

congratulations to Sara for your first haed finish its gorgeous

 

Thanks to everybody that wished my little boy a quick recovery after breaking his arm..

 

I am hoping that he can return to school next week as he is getting really bored I have to wait

and see what the surgeon said on Monday so I can return to my normal routine as I usually do a

lot of my stitching in the afternoon after I have cleaned the house and done all my other jobs.... 

 

I started page 2 and continued on to page 3 a little as page lines are a huge worry for me I'm

about to start the green at the bottom of the page as well as another butterfly which is great

as I'm getting bored of stitching the background I have include a before and after picture I am

hoping to have page 2 finish for my weekly post next week..

 

I have a few appointments next week I was thinking about taking my stitching with me but its not a very

manageable size at the moment as I am stitching it on a full yard of material at the moment as I am

undecided if I am going to cut it up into 3 pieces of material or stitch it as the pattern it as 3 pictures

next to each other on one piece of material...

Happy Stitching

Small Update

Hey everyone! So I have had to neglect my HAED project for the last week or so due to midterms. I finally got a small break and did some work on Faces of Faery 88

Here is what I managed to do

Take Care!

My First HAED finished

Hi everyone...
Today I'm a very happy gal :D, for the first time I finished a HAED, and it only took me 69 days of fully dedication to it xD... but now I have plenty of time to frame it before going home to give it to my mum on her birthday :D

It was stitched on 32ct Whimsey Lugana 1x1 and this is how it looks before it is ironed (sorry but I was so happy and I so wanted to share it with you... that I couldn't wait for it to be washed and ironed to take a photo)

Hope you like it :)

Thanks Sara

Way Past Due for an Update

Hello Wonderful Stitchers!  

It's been a long time since I posted an update, I know.  Rest assured that I've been behind the scenes running the blog and keeping up with buddies, etc.  I read every post.  You guys are awesome.  The beautiful work displayed here always amazes me.  I want to thank each and every one of you for your contributions.  Breathtaking work, all! 

I have a couple of wips to show.  I have 11 HAEDs started, so it's not easy to keep everything moving along.  But that's nothing new to you peeps, you all have so many gorgeous pieces on the go!  I'll just share a few of the ones that I have made some progress with this year.

First off there's the QS Freebie for this year, Fragile Heart.  I've completed pages 1 - 4.  Don't mind the dirt marks!  I was stitching on it outside by the pool this Summer, and DH got ashes on her (it was breezy), it will wash out.  Stats:

Fragile by Kirstin Mills

Last weeks I have been working on Storykeep Fragile, (artwork by Kirstin Mills) and I’ve finished it. It’s my first HAE finish. It’s a very small chart (40 W by 181 H), but on it you can see sixty different colors. It’s stitched on 25 count lugana, one over one.

I go on stitching on Angelic, I hope to show you an update this weekend.

I hope you like it,

I have had a few ups and downs this week a page finish of faerie melody at the start of the week that I posted

and my youngest son had a accident at school which resulted in a 2 1/2 hour operation and having to have pins inserted which will result in more operations in a few weeks or months.

I have suffered a few sleepless nights and just have not had the energy or time to stitch

 

I did however get a couple of days in before the accident

so here is an update

I started page 2 and continued on to page 3 a little as page lines are a huge worry for me

 

page 1 finished a little over 1/4 of page 2 complete

Mini Curl Up with a Good Book

This is the first update on Mini Curl up with a Good Book and although there isn't too much to see I thought people may be interested to see the new format in progress. I'm doing this 1 over 1 on 28ct evenweave. I have outlined the edge of the design, which is more or less square, and have placed a pair of scissors in frame to help show scale.

Have a good weekend all. x

First Rose, Christensen

I finished half of the face. It is a spectacular sight. The photo was taken a bit from the bottom, so it seems a little out of proportion. I am satisfied with the face. I hope to have it ready in November so I can go back to the Christmas stocking. And the Medusa is lonely.
It is wonderful autumn weather. The leaves change color nicely. And storms roar around the house. Lovely stitching weather.

Die Walküre, from K. Craft

Hello everybody !

I have added one more page to this marvelous journey.
I hope that you will enjoy the pictures.

It is stitched on a Sylkweaver fabric, 25 count, with two strands of thread.

Here is my work :
