Mary Wigham 1790 Part 1

I went to get the threads for the first part of Mary Wigham sampler. Here is the substitution I made:

DMC------AVAS
725 ----- 2514
407 ----- S4152 (quite lighter than 407)
356 ----- 2633
3768 ----- 1745
3052 ----- 3723
ecre ----- 2541
930 ----- 1715 (very similar to 1745)
white ----- blanc
3822 ----- 2543
927 ----- 5382
934 ----- 3425

I will post a pic when I find my camera.
I am stitching 2 over 2.....whoa! big fat crosses! I just finished a small project on DMC linen 28 ct 1 over 1 using caron waterlilies. What a big difference! The stitches are so chubby that I feel like I am making a tapestry using wool.


Aaaaaah. I changed it to 1 over 2. Much better (or at least easier!)

I also decided to change some of the colors

white ----- 2541 (was supposed to be for ecre)
Ecre ------ will find a lavender-ish color
I added a pic too.

選んだ糸の写真を撮ってみました。DMCの代わりにAu ver a soie d'Alger (AVAS)を使う予定です。とりあえず、パート１に使う色だけを買ってきました。最初は2 over 2でちょこっとやってみたんですけど、あああああ、無理でした。むちむちです。1 over 2でいきます。
