A Challenging Project and a Decision to Make
Although I haven't been posting lately, I've been stitching and trying to keep up with everyone's A-Z challenge posts.
I decided I would attempt the recent HAED challenge from their Facebook page. You have to finish one page by stitching cross-country instead of parking as many, including myself, do with HAEDs. I debated back and forth a bit on this one because the 2 HAEDs I worked on for the DUCJFC did not have enough stitches per page to meet the requirements.
Dragon Under Glass isn't big enough, and
Bailey Basset had too much unstitched space. It's too bad about this one since it's tent stitch and would be going fairly quickly.
In the end I pulled out Mini Winter Magic
I really like this one, but I had put it away to work on the first Mabel Figworthy's Fancies SAL. The last time this one saw the light of day was early in 2013 before my stitching time went down to almost nothing from mid 2013 until 2015.
