Seeing as I've never done anything extremely intricate, I've decided to start small and work my way up. So I'm starting with the quick stitch Believe by Heaven and Earth Designs:
I'm doing it on 25 ct. Lugana, 2 over 1, and with continental tent stitching. The design is going to be 6w x 7 3/4h in. and 29,250 stitches.
After one night, I've done about 300 stitches, and I'm just starting to get used to the tiny detail. I'm having fun with it, though!

Oh, I'll eagerly watch this one since I have it in my stash. Too bad I have too many other projects to work on right now to start it any time soon.

Well, I'm up to about 800 stitches, and I'm really enjoying it! It's wonderful to see all the colors come together!

You're making me want to start mine!! DH might roll his eyes if I stared another project since I have 3 on the go (one due for October or December) plus a 4th one that I'll be starting once it arrives.

I've been having a lot of fun with this one, and I'm really enjoying the intricacy of it. It challenges me and I enjoy that. Though not when Mr.
comes around, as he did tonight! You can see in this picture where the black thread was that had to be taken out.
Nothing too serious, but it's quite frustrating to have to take out 50 stitches.
