Princess and the Pea - Jasmine Becket-Griffith

Post by LittleMoo »

I don't know if there's an official qualification to be a BAP, but this is the biggest *ssed project I've ever attempted so it qualifies in my mind :lol:

It's a HAED and is 190,250 stitches. I absolutely fell in love with the design and as it was the 50% sale it accidently slipped into my basket 8)

I've just finished the first block of colour and it was such a pleasant change from the constant confetti of the Freebie SAL Nostalgy.

I'll try to update weekly, but we all know how these things end up...

Image

This is what it should look like when it's done...

Edited to add: I'm stitching 2 over 1 tenting (my first time tenting!) on 25ct magic guide.

:applesauce: :applesauce: Great start on a great design. I don't usually go for JBG's designs but his one hopped into my basket during one of the 50% sales too. I am really looking forward to seeing your updates. There should be a lot of fun to stitch!

I thought the same too, all those different mattresses look great fun to stitch.

I also am not usually tempted by the JBG designs, but this one has sparked my interest. As I'm not sure if I want it yet or not, I will just live vicariously through you!

Great start and can't wait to see more updates!

Little update on this one. I'm absolutely loving stitching this chart. It's the first time I've tried tenting and, whilst the coverage isn't as good as I'm used to, I'm more than happy with the trade off as it's so much quicker to stitch.
