My First HAED Stitches!!!
Here are my very first ever stitches on a HAED! This is Maggy (Josephine Walls Magpie Fairy, charted by HAED) I didn't plan to start her this year, but once the chart was printed I just couldn't stop looking at it and planning how to stitch her. I have chosen to sticth her 2 over 1 on 20ct Bellana (denim blue). I want to give myself the best possible chance of finishing her, so I ruled out a higher stitch count fabbie. I'm finding that the coverage is really excellent and yet it is still easy to stitch and my needle goes through just fine. I have drawn my grids on with biro, I can't remember where this tip came from. Its more manageable that gridding for a HAED novice without a scroll frame and the stitching covers the marks completely.

I am going to try to pursade DH to buy me a floor frame for my birthday in September :-)

Looks like you got a lot done already!
You got a lot done! I have two HAEDs kitted but have not had the nerve to start them. Looking forward to watching your progress.
Great start, that's a lot you've done already.
Hugs Yvon.
Be warned, they're completely addictive. I only started stitching HAED this year and I've got two on the go and I've got (I think - from memory) another 10 charts waiting to be started... I'll never need to buy kits or charts again (but I still will)!
Good luck, hope you enjoy it as much as I'm loving mine!
Another first! Chatelaine and now HAED; 2011 is definitely your year for new adventures! Looking forward to seeing this grow.
You have made a great start, Charlie! HAED are totally addicting :) I have 5 on the go and another...probably 30 or more waiting their turn. :) I can't wait to see more of your updates! :D
Great start, Charlie!!! :D Looking forward to seeing the next piccie. :D
Good luck with your Maggie! I am doing Train if Dreams and I love it! BTW I just realised my blog was private, I just changed it to public...
I love that you have started a HAED. I look forward to seeing it grow. I now have a couple of charts but haven't started them yet.
