HAED Hope

Here is my progress on Hold on to Hope from Heaven and Earth Designs (HAED). I'm stitching her on 28ct evenweave. I don't see the name of the fabric right now. I started her in Aug 2012. This is 64 Days of work on her.

So after 4 days of being out to play Hope it going away for a little bit. She has a lot of confetti stitching. But I finished another 2 columns on page 4. There are 2 and a half columns left on this page. So 27 more stitches right to finish off the page. I looked ahead and the last 4 pages are small pages. I need to bring her back out soon and keep working away on her and the end could be in sight.

I have 3 other HAEDs (including the new one Justine gave me) that will probably have to be started in March. I'm changing the two I had kitted up to 32ct fabric cause I really like the coverage better. So I just need to purchase the fabric and I'll be set. I don't have any 32ct in my stash. I have never really used it before. But after looking at the coverage on Hope again I realized how much better I like Selkie on the 32ct.

I also finally braved the cold outside to get a snow picture...
We got another 5 inches of snow the other day. Our pool looks even with the deck around it even though we dropped the water way down for the winter. Well I'm off to see what screams to be stitched on for the weekend. Hope everyone has a nice relaxing weekend. No plans again for me so stitching and TV watching is ahead for me.

Hope is stitching up beautifully. I would say that's quite a lot of progress for 64 day's work.
I'm pleased you've probably got a weekend of stitching ahead. I'm eager to see more progress pictures!! :)

We're getting more dumped on us as I type this with more to come this weekend. My parents canceled their trip this weekend, so there will be more stitching than I anticipated. :)

You made lot of progress. It's looking great!
How do you display those progress bars under HAED ? Is there any widget?

What great progress! I do love Hope. Please don't feel under any pressure to start my RAK any time soon, I understand you have to be ready and in the right frame of mind to start such a huge project!

This weekend we are in for rain I guess. Be safe and stay warm. Enjoy the stitching time.
