Id go with not doing HAEDs. As lovely as they are, they;re too fussy for my taste. I did King Tut over 20 years ago and it won first prize and best of show at the Ohio State fair that year. Unlike you, I stitched the whole thing in 2 weeks, which is probably not what you want to year. Oh, and Teresa Wentzler patterns are difficult with all the doubled colors, too fussy and time consuming, though I do love the designs.
