This has been a long time coming, but I have finally finished Sadness of an Angel by Zindy S. D. Nielsen.
This is my 36th Heaven and Earth Designs finish.
Design Size 400×297
118,800 stitches
Stitched on 25ct Lugana using DMC and Anchor threads.
DMC 452/453 was replaced with Anchor 398/234
Started Feb 2009
Finished 28 May 2020
Another few pages completed.
I’ve put this aside for a few days while I work on some knitting, but don’t worry, it won’t be too long before it’s back under the needle.
It’s always exciting to finish a page, but even most so when that page finish completes a full row of pages.
I only have 12 pages remaining on this piece and half of those pages are only 12 rows deep. So technically I only have 7 pages left.
I can’t believe that it’s been just under 10 YEARS since I’ve worked on this piece.
I now know why.
All that grey is boring!!
I need to stitch some colour.
I think I will have to take a break from this one and find something a little more lively to work on. Until then I will get some knitting done.
Another finish. The first for the year.
Here is French Filigree by Michele Sayetta.

This is my 35th Heaven and Earth Designs finish.
It’s been quite some time since I’ve worked on this piece.
