Marta 1.

Hi to everybody!

This is my first post though I have been leaving some comments already :) ...

My name is Marta and I am from Spain. I am quite new in x-Stitching but I rapidly became addicted to it (I also do other handcrafs)... I always wanted to stitch a Quaker Sampler and this is a great oportunity, do it together with you. It took me a bit to choose the fabric and to receive the thread but I am finally ready, since I just got today the chosen silk.

As you can see I will be using a Country Mocha Belfast Linen 32ct (I wanted to dye it myself but I decided it would be too much of an experiment, let´s go easy this first time). Thread is Vicky Clayton's silk, Primordial Ooze, a greenish one...

I hope it will look good but I still need to do some testing... it will be the first time I use silk and also the first time I stitch 1/1... I am anxious to start and show you my progress!!
