Snowman Wisdom by Sue Hillis


When I joined this SAL I didn't realize everyone else's BAP was going to be HAED.  My BAP will be Snowman Wisdom by Sue Hillis.  I will be stitching it twice if that counts, I won't feel offended please let me know if this is a big enough project.  I showed the chart to my friend Lisa yesterday, she loves snowmen and winter because she grew up in Alaska.  She used to cross stitch when she was younger, and appreciates the time and energy I put into each cross stitched gift I have given her.  She hinted that she would love it if I stitched her one at the same time as I stitch it for myself.  That is why I will be stitching it twice.

I will be stitching both pieces over 2 on 28ct Jobelan Babbling Brook.  I  will change a few colours to make them stand out on this blue background and to personalize the projects.  The chart says the stitch count is 118 stitches wide X 323 stitches high.

Today I will iron the fabric, then cut 2 pieces and attach them to the scroll frames.  I'm getting excited, I haven't stitched in about 2 weeks because I am a One-at-a-time stitcher and was waiting patiently to start Snowman Wisdom on January 1st.

Looking forward to seeing everyone else's progress throughout the year!

  3. This is cute I say go for it. Not everyone is doing an HAED there's a few doing Tilton's and I'm doing a Love Thy Thread. Besides we need variety :)

  7. The chart and your chosen fabric are gorgeous - would you like to stitch one for me at the same time and have three on the go??!!!!
    You are such a good girl waiting until 1st January to start it. Will you be stitching them simultaneously or one at a time? :)

  8. That is a great chart and fabric is perfect. Looking forward to watching your progress on this one (two). I would have started a Chatelaine but the HAED fits with two SALs and I am all about economy (yeeaaahhhh right!!!).
