Choices, choices...

Well, Sae's beat me to the first post so I won't bother going through how this competition started out. Now all that's left is to find a few patterns that I like.

For myself, I'm keen to get a pattern locked down because I want to get threads off Sae. I've got a friend visiting Sae soon who can bring those threads back for me, so I'm working to a deadline. ;)

Heaven and Earth Designs have so many patterns! I'm going crazy just browsing through them all but I want to make sure I pick something that I won't get bored off in the next 5 years. So far, here are my choices:


Night Wish by Annie Rodrigue
Finished Design Size 400 W by 515 H
(16 W X 20-1/2inches on 25ct)


Advice from a Caterpillar by Scott Gustafson
Stitch Count 450w x 550h


Fantasies of the Sea by James C Christensen
Finished Design Size 400W by 615H
(16W X 24-1/2H inches on 25ct fabric)



Conversations Around Fish by James C Christensen
Finished Design Size 575W by 405H
(16W X 16-1/8H inches on 25ct fabric)


Amid Hummers by Jody Bergsma
Finished Design Size 300W by 445H
(12W X 17-3/4H inches on 25ct)

I'm sure there are tons more that are really cool though.

I had Chen-po look through a few with me and he just wants all the evil, demonic looking ones. I asked my mum as well and she just wants all flowers and babies. So I've given up on both and am choosing purely on what I like.

Competition Rules

Competition Begins: 1st May 2008
Competition Ends: Chinese New Year 2013

Goal: Complete a HAED design by the time allotted.

Designs chosen are to be of approximately the same sizes. Contestants are free to change their design half way, however it must also be of the similar size to the original design chosen.

Each month, each contestant will deposit USD$20 into a separate bank account.

Every fortnight, each contestant has to update this blog with updated progress pictures.

Prize Money:

If only one contestant completes her design by the deadline, she gets the total amount of money saved by both contestants.

If neither designs are complete, the entire sum of money is to be donated to a charity that is agreed upon by both contestants.

If both complete it on time, the money is divided in the following manner:

60% of the total goes to the contestant who completes* her design first within the deadline.

40% of the total goes to the contestant who completes* her design last within the deadline.

* For EeL, completion means full completion. For Sae, completion for the 60% winner total is 210,400 stitches, with the remainder stitches to be completed by the deadline.
