Heaven and Earth Designs

[Patabel]

As an avid cross stitcher, I've been looking at those Heaven and Earth Design patterns for quite some time. The finished products are just gorgeous. Just wondered if anyone has done one of those, and are they difficult, as opposed to tedious, to do?

Not difficult just tedious. I have two that I am working on and they are HUGE!! One is 49 pages -Faery tales and the othe is 24 pages - A Wintery Heirloom.

I am working mine on 18 count aida...I can't do 25 count over one. They are pretty though.

When you work on 18 count aida rather than the recommended 25 count...does it look any different? I've never worked on 25 count and I have 2 Heaven and Earth designs, but have been procrastinating on getting started.

No different just easier in my opinion. Here is a picture of Faery Tales on 18 ct. aida

That looks really nice. I think I will stitch one of the patterns I have on 18 count Aida also. Thanks for the information. I love working on aida since it is so easy. Happy Stitching!!!

You are so welcome!!! Happy stitching to you too!!

Thanks, Vickie - I just might have to try one now...on 18 ct, of course!
