Eeek!! I'm so excited to post this!! I got started on this mammoth project last night, March 8, 2012.

Here is what she'll look like eventually (i.e. 10 years from now! lol!)

And here is the start:

I am starting in the centre. It's how I've done all my projects and made the most sense to me. I laid out the entire chart, found the centre, highlighted the squares, then got started. I've never used a frame to stitch with, so I'm finding it a bit difficult once the thread gets really short, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Such a beautiful project. I will certainly look forward to seeing more of this one!!

[Rose]

That is going to be very nice!!!!!

[Fljotsdale]

You will get used to the frame - in fact so used to it that you may find you never go back to stitching without one! Good start! I always start in the middle as well, and was wondering if you could with a HAED...

so exciting. All new starts are exciting. I hope you will do lots of updates so we can cheer you on. I really like this pattern. It will be interesting to see the design emerge as you stitch.

Aw.. thanks everyone!! I can't wait to get home to get to work on it. Though, I did find that after about an hour my eyes were starting to hurt. The squares are a lot smaller than what I'm used to.

I also started the Warm and Fuzzy kitten a few days ago, so i will make another post about that one! I've never had 3 projects on the go before! lol!

[LadyS]

You started! Good luck with it, really hope you enjoy it like so many of us ended up enjoying HAED stitching, and am looking forward to your updates!
