HAED Stitching Challenge #2

Challenge #2 consists of stitching an entire new page (7300-7800 stitches) of at least 5 colors as cross country. So you'd do all of a color on a page before changing to a new color.

I already stitch in a hybrid method of this (I usually cross country, then I park, then I go back to that cross country color when I have more anchor stitches around it.)

Happily, this challenge was allowed to be done with either full crosses or tenting. I chose to use Sorrow, since it would be "faster" than the full crosses on for The Book. I didn't even "cheap out" on the challenge and use one of the mostly black pages, I stitched page 10!

Challenge complete, WiP 05-May-2016

I'm happy with how this one is progressing. I've completed 3 pages since Jan. The 4th page on the bottom row there is going to start the head of the woman that is the focus of this piece, so that is exciting as well!

I'm still trying to convince myself that I don't want to start another piece just to get some stitching in different colors going. I've got 3 HAED WiP on the go, as well as a non-HAED Christmas project. I REALLY don't need to start anything else - except I have fabric and the kit to start Treasure Hunt Bookshelf, and I'm thinking about it.

Guess we'll see how my self control holds up!

Until next time,
Happy Stitching!
