HAED Stitching Challenge #1

On HAED's facebook page they decided to run some stitching challenges. Challenge 1 was to complete 1000 stitches, but the catch was they have to be in 10x10 squares in a checker board pattern.


So, I completed this while I was flying to Ottawa to get my puppy. However, what I didn't catch was the fact that this needed to be done as full crosses, not tenting.

So, I had less than a month to redo the challenge. Thankfully I'm stitching Once Upon A Time in full crosses.



They both look a little boring, either a ton of cream colors or basically all black! But progress is progress.

After creating the checkerboard I decided I wanted to fill it in. Watching the writing start to come to life has been fun even if stitching in full crosses takes forever.

I do think this is the last project that I'm going to stitch on the linen though. Both this project and Lily are not square. They are taller than they are wide because of the fabric and it bothers me! Not enough that I'm going to redo 2 pages of work, but enough that I'm not using that fabric ever again.

Until next time,
Happy Stitching!
