Ready for the SAL

Hi to all

First of all thank you Hazel for having organized this SAL and having allowed me participate.

I love cross stitching, as all here, and mainly samplers. Lately I have been acquiring charts from Ackworth School, which at the moment are only adding to my stash, but hopefully one day will all embroidered and hanging in my walls.

I found this site in the needleprint yahoo group and am really pleased for taking part of it.

At the moment I am all set with my materials: I chose 28c antique linen and the floss is anchor marlitt 1003. Even though I love this terracota colour I would have liked to go to hand dyed fibers, such as the ones I have already ordered to some other samplers. I love the Victoria Clayton's silks, but living in Portugal and being Christmas season, I felt I couldn't rely on the post to have my materials on time.

I wish a very good 2009 to ALL.

Cristina
