This was 8160 stitches, started Dec 2 and finished Dec 27. It would have been done a lot sooner, but Christmas, and then visiting with my sister, who I kitted up to do her first HaED, an owl.
This makes 20 HaED page finishes for 2015! Frankly, I'm surprised I still have fingers left. I'm not crazy enough to try and beat that for 2016, but I do make the goal of finishing 2 projects next year, possibly 3.
Wish me luck.
Happy New Year to all of my stitching kindreds. May your New Year be filled with free time galore, and ample opportunity to stitch.

All that background stitching would blind me (or drive me nuts), either way what an amazing total for your year! Wow!
ReplyDeleteThe background stitching was the easy part. Just put in a good documentary, stitch one colour and then the other. It's that finicky little hat that gave me all the trouble!
DeleteI can't quite believe I made 20 pages. It's a nice round number. I will try to match it at the end of 2016.
Good luck he looks great! I finished I believe about 20 pages as well this year but about a third were partials
ReplyDeleteHey, partials count!! Yes siree, they absolutely do!
Delete20 HAED pages finished is a huge achievement - well done! I never get tired of seeing this one, it's so cute.Good luck for a successful 2016 in every way.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Justine! And all the best to you too in 2016!
DeleteVery impressive!! So cute, keep stitching!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mii! I hope you have a lovely New Year!
DeleteCongrats on the page finish. 20 HAED page finishes is amazing! You're my stitching hero;)
ReplyDeleteWishing you the best of luck in 2016!
Awww, it's nice to be somebody's hero. The most pages I heard anybody do was 32. I have to wonder if they ever slept?
DeleteWishing you a wonder 2016!
Getting closer to his little feet! Congrats on all your progress this year. I'm wishing you luck for 2016. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, itty bitty birdy feeties are just around the corner! But first, a page of Adrift!
DeleteHappy New Year!
Wow 20 page finishes!!! Major Congrats. You're right partial pages are still pages. Can't wait to see what you stitch in 2016!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to complete Adrift in 2016, and the Owl should be finished by spring. But I have the next 3 patterns picked out. I'm soooo looking forward to a new HaED start!
DeleteHmmm...I never thought to think of it as page finishes, I need to go back and count mine! Might make me feel better about failing to accomplish my goals. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes, count your pages! Do so at once! If you are on facebook, there is a HaED where we keep track of our pages finishes. Let me know if you'd like the link and I will post it.
DeleteAnd remember, in stitching there are no fails. Every stitch is an accomplishment on the journey to completion!
Happy New Year, Keebles!
Awww, he's so cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I really, really love him!
DeleteAñoro mis días de bordadora. En fin. Lindo tu búho
