:applesauce: That is so stunning. I could almost be talked into this one, but the beading is definitely not my style so I'll stick with what I do. I love watching this one grow. You are doing a great job and keep those closeups coming! :applesauce:

Fantastic progress, it looks exquisite Dana :dance: Hoorah for finishing the section :applesauce:

It looks like you are using a q-snap, will you be using a different frame when you have to move the piece around to protect the beads? Or is your q-snap a giant sized one?

Thank you everyone! I am loving the colors on this one sooo much! Especially since we are so hot right now - working on this almost makes me feel like I've taken a swim... :)

Kerri, I am using two strands for the cross stitches and single strands when called for in the specialty stitches. Can't wait to see you start Butterfly Lace! I think that might be my next Chat as it's so gorgeous and is calling to me very loudly from my cupboard... :)

Sam, that's the beauty of QSnaps - I can just add in pieces on the sides to make it larger as I go... :)

Glad you finished that section, it's just so beautiful. Looking forward to your next update, but by the sounds of it, that might be a while in coming. Good luck on your HAED.

Would love to do a Butterfly Lace SAL, I probably won't start mine until next near though. I'd really love to get a bit farther along on the two I've got going before I start a new one...

Here's my last update on this one for awhile. I've finished one fourth of part 4. Time for a break though. Now to just decide which HAED to go back to tomorrow... :)

Ooooo gorgeous Dana - you are really making me want to get my mitts on this one, even though I already have three that I haven't started yet. I'm still unsure when I will get down to some hardcore stitching on Butterfly Lace - part of me wants to clear my stitching "plate" of a few WIPs first, while the other part says to stop worrying and stitch on what you want when you want :roll: @rotfl: !

Which HAED is shouting to you?
