OK Girls... I have the Fabric... it is a 32 Count Belfast Linen - Lt Mocha
I have pulled all of the DMC threads... But would Much rather stitch this in hand dyed fiber - Silks... so I am off next to the silk container to compair them and to see if I have great matches for them! Am I understanding this right that in 32 Count we need to cut a 24 x 24 piece of fabric? or is that the DESIGN size? Someone please help with this one! I have a 2 yard piece of this so I am covered either way... But I sure would like to start this tonight! I am so very excited!!!!!

Welcome!
Welcome to the Mary Wigham USA Stitch-Along Blog. I hope everyone enjoys working on their own Mary while seeing everyone else's progress! It's inspirational to see all the different color combinations being stitched! If there are any questions, please contact Valerie, Group Moderator, via email at fcdweller@yahoo.com
Materials List
To be as all inclusive as possible we are suggesting 32 count Permin Lambswool stitched over 2 threads and you will need 24" x 24" or 60cm x 60 cm of linen. (The design area will be approximately 20" x 20" - 50cm x 50cm.) If you are able to stitch smaller, then please do. Mary's sampler is approximately 13" by 12.5" - 33cm x 31.5cm. The stitch count is approximately 300 stitches by 290.
Floss colors:
