...Which we are all doing here! Yea!
And I am doing for my supplies... I want to get started soon. Ok, I've got my charts a-coming and flosses in my stash. Now I need some help, please, from some of you with mathimatical minds. I want to get my fabric and don't know how much I need. I thought someone had mentioned dimensions/stitch count but can't find them in any of the posts. I see Leslie is doing hers 4 across by 7 high. Leslie, may I ask what you've figured for dimensions/stitch count, please? Several others are doing the 9 across by 3 high. Anybody, please, what is the stitch count? My heartfelt thanks!
Wishing you all the happiest of holidays!

Hi Barb, here's how I figured: Charts are 70w x 100h (+/- a stitch here & there) so 4 wide = 280 stitches and 7 high = 700 stitches and then I added 2 stitches in between each letter for a total of 286 wide x 612 high. On 40 count fabric over 2 that's 20" wide by 40" high (I stitch on scroll rods so the narrower the better - I'm surprised I didn't go for 2 x 13 - ha ha)
If you'd like a copy of my Excel worksheet just e-mail me privately, okay? leslie at litewire.net. I've got it figured for 3x9, 7x3 and 4x7. All this while IMpatiently waiting for my fabric!
HTH, Leslie
Thanks Leslie, this is a real help. Actually, just knowing the size of the charts helps. Now just to figure what size I'll do it on. Do I really want to do it over one? Ouch!!
