HAED - Storyteller Storykeep

So much for updating weekly. Sorry, there's been a lot going on.

Anyhow, Heaven and Earth Designs has a line of patterns called Storykeeps - bookmark-sized patterns that are smaller, more manageable parts of their ginormous regular-sized patterns. This one, based on Selina Fenech's Storyteller design, is going to be a Christmas gift for a good friend of mine. This picture is after a week of work on it (okay,more like four days) and represents just over eight hundred stitches.

This project is on white 25-ct Lugana, all in DMC floss, stitched with two strands of fiber over one fabric thread. Yes, I think I'm going to go blind doing it, but it'll be gorgeous when it's done.
