AAAAAA Small Start

Hi, All! My charts arrived from ABC yesterday (ordered Tuesday, shipped Thursday, arrived yesterday--fabulous!) and I picked up all the rest of them at In Stitches in Alexandria, VA. They have plenty more and can get anything they run out of quickly, so if you are looking for charts or fabric, they should have them. I was going to wait until Thanksgiving to start, but since I had all the ingredients assembled, I thought, "why not start now?" I'm stitching mine on 45 count Graziano Florence linen, over 2, using the DMC threads called for. I'm stitching in hand, because the fabric is a bit more dense than I'm used to, but I put it back on the Q-snaps for the photo. Looking forward to seeing everyone's progress!
