Thank you to "Jo who can't think of a clever
nickname" who told me to try changing my browser from Internet Explorer.
I used Firefox and was able to upload my pictures.
My samplers arrived from The Scarlet Letter. They arrived separately because I placed two orders. After hearing how large SDW was, I decided I needed a smaller one as well, and so I ordered Margret Lawrance. I love both of them.
The SDW has so many beautiful motifs. I decided to use the DMC
threads. I had almost all of them, which is shocking because I usually
only have about one or two of what I need. I still have to find a
piece of fabric for this sampler. I am going to my cross stitch shop
tonight for stitching with friends and will look for a nice piece of
fabric. Because of the size of this sampler, I will definitely need to
get at least a 34 or 35 ct. I know that 34 ct. is more difficult to
find. Question? The instructions that come with the sampler say to use
two strands of DMC and one strand of silk. If I get a 34 or 35 ct. piece of fabric, do I still use two strands of DMC? I really love the colors. They are so rich and will look so pretty. I have to find the right piece of fabric.
My second sampler is a new one from The Scarlet Letter, Margret Lawrance. I got the entire kit for this sampler. I really love the silk colors, my colors! Lots of shades of pinks and greens.
I
can't wait to start. I plan to start this weekend. I go back to work on
Monday, which means I have to allot time for stitching. I hope to post
in a few days my starts on both samplers.
I have been stitching "Baby, It's Cold Outside." I have a picture of my start. It is a fun piece to stitch.
