Angel of Hope

I'm getting things prepped for my latest project, Angel of Hope by Lavender & Lace.  This is a Christmas gift, so I have to get moving on it soon!!

Picture from package

I found this really pretty 14count linen-like aida cloth. 
I don't normally use 14 count but I loved the fabric so much I had to get it!

My attempt to thread gridlines in.  It is taking longer than I had planned, but I'm thinking it will be well worth my time.
