I Got The Call!!

Yesterday, from my LNS, but couldn't post because of the spambot issue. Diana called while I was on my morning bike ride, so I cut that short so I could cruise by the shop before work. I'll be on a stitching road trip to the Bay Area this weekend, and Mary is my take-along project. It's PTP's "Heritage" Lugana 32. I've picked a bunch of overdyed threads from my stash that I'll be using.

Greetings from Illiinois

Just thought I'd stop by and let you know that I have indeed begun stitching. I'm using a creme Irish Linen of 36ct and stitching over 1 using the over-dyed conversion posted by Melissa...I would dearly love to show my first progress picture but my darling hubby has taken my camera off fishing. I have enjoyed reading all your posts and will snap a picture as soon as my camera returns. I downloaded part 6 this morning and really can't wait to get that far, but I'm going very carefully as I do not like to frog over 1 stitching, so it might take me awhile to get there. Stitch well and enjoy.

My Progress as of 06/20/2009

HI All,
I'm Shay, in N. Texas I started about the 15th, this is my progress so far. I’m using the listed DMC threads on Zweigart 32 count Flax. This has been a real joy to stitch. I tis my first Quaker Sampler I look forward to many more. I maybe hooked.



Happy Stitching
Shay

Even though I already have way, WAY too many WIPs (most of them other Quakers), I can't wait to start Mary Wigham. I was out of town when the first part was posted so I haven't been able to print out part 1 yet, but I did find a 40ct Zweigart French Vanilla Swirl while vacation shopping. I'm planning on using HDF silks, but I'm tweaking some of the colors just a bit so the light colors show up a bit more and the brights aren't quite so bright. It may take me a few more daysso post pictures so I can enjoy vicariously!
