I'm tipping the scales of craziness

I really like doing the over one designs by Heart's Content and started Inspire Others and I've done Kindred Spirits.  Wish I had a picture of it, really love how it turned out, maybe I'll take one when I go to work on Monday because it hangs in my office.

Well last spring I got another kit called Spring Satchel because I loved the colors.  I got it out today to start and found it is over one on 40 ct.!!  I did start it because I really do love the colors in it, but not sure if this one will ever really get done.  It's not big as in size, but did you know that 40 ct. over one is 1,600 x's per inch?  and this is something like 2" by 2".  That is a lot of really tiny x's……yep I'm tipping the scales of craziness with this project……

Well if this one gets puts away I do have SB - The Promise ready to go and also my Quilted American Flag all kited up.  Trying to tip the scale back.

  1. 40 count and over 1 !!!! yes, I concur YOU'RE NUTS - If however you can find a 10X table top magnifier than at least you won't lose your eyesight. ;-) {grin}

  4. Oh my goodness. I thought I'd lost my mind when I started a 32 count, but a 40 count?! I don't even know if I could do that. Kudos to you!

  5. Crazy! I stitched a small over one on 36 count and I did get into the swing of it quite quickly. It's a beautiful design so I hope you enjoy it.

  6. 40ct over one - that's what I call brave, lol. But when your eye-sight (or your magnifier) is good enough, why not do this challenge. The main thing is that you enjoy it.

  7. 40ct is to small for my eys, you are so brave. I like to stitch on 32ct. Happy Stitching.

  8. I took a class with Maureen Appleton once. She's a little crazy with all that 40 ct-over one. But we're even crazier for going along for the ride! 8-) (Those aren't glasses, they're magnifiers!)
