Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Soooo...has everyone started? I have, but not enough to photograph yet.

I haven't started mine yet---those of us that are doing this--may want to check the group page on facebook---the adobe reader didn't translate the chart perfectly, so Alessandra posted an image that has the proper symbols on it.
I've printed mine--just need to find a good time to start--sometime this weekend!!

I"m not real happy with my fabric...I might change before I get too far. The holes are really hard to see and pierce, probably as a result of the dyeing process. I love the color but am not just sure I want to deal with the issues for this piece.

So sorry you are having problems with the fabric on this one Debby---hope you can find a good substitute---you really want to enjoy stitching on a project this size!! I hope to get started on mine tomorrow, need to work on the sampler part 4 first

I've started mine, and loving it so far! I havent done enough to post a photo yet though....

wait, it's up? I thought we had to wait til the 10th! (going to check!)

Now that this is being stitched are we going to see a joint SAL for all of you?????

I will post mine should we just list them here? I too dont have enough to show progress. The non middle start and no numbers on the pattern had me a bit nervous. First time counting away from the middle with out a grid and on 32ct linen to boot hehe. And then the symbols seemed a lot similar.
It slowed me a down a bit but now that that is all worked out I am really enjoying stitching this. I should also note, tomthosemof you not a part of the FB group... AAN has been replying to us and helping us with all questions regarding the patterrn, I realizedI sounded a bit whiney. The group admin and AAN herself have been working hard to answer all our questions and have posted several different ways to figure out where to start. I am prettyimpressed!!

After three fabric changes I finally finished my part one. Picture will be posted this evening.

I didn't have much time this weekend, but I've made a start:

Yay! Love the colors so far, looking nice. I was reallllly close to joining, but I have enough things going on, I'm living though you guys!

I really need to get started on this one. I have everything all gathered up, just need to put needle and thread to fabric.

Fortunately the colours don't alternate much right now, so you can do one colour at a time if your stitching time is short supply like me!

My stitching time is short and I have about a zillion projects going, and this one is quite low on the totem pole.

I'll get there eventually. I think I'll at least start it in the next couple of weeks or so, but no promises about keeping up with the SAL (although I should have much more time to stitch and stuff in a month or so).

I haven't started yet but Im enjoying seeing all the speedy part 1 finishes and progress on Facebook and on here.

The lack of fabric has been delaying me but lookee what arrived today


It is a 28cnt cashel linen in Ocean Ridge from The Crafty Kitten.

I will make a start soon but I'm mulling over some possible changes I might make first

What lovely fabric that is! Can't wait to watch you stitching on it!
