Mary Wigham - probably the World's biggest SAL!

Hi everyone! I saw this SAL talked about over the weekend. I told myself that I wanted to be involved! Well, I saw this am that they still did not have a USA head person! I emailed Jacqueline & she was thrilled that I volunteered. So, I will be setting up a blog for this SAL. Please email me if you are interested & are from the USA!
You can see the details on Jacqueline's blog:
http://needleprint.blogspot.com/
This is something new for me, so please bear with me, BUT...I promise, I want to make this a fun SAL!!!! The first part of the pattern is due to be released today. There are a list of DMC colors on Jacqueline's blog!
Shari
EDIT:
I MUST have your email address to invite you to join the blog!!! If you leave a comment here, I get a copy in my email. So, you can leave your email address here & I can invite you!!

Dear Shari,
My name is Saho and I was appointed Head Girl for Japan.
It has finally given me the chance to go and make comments in the blogs of cross-stitchers which I have enjoyed so much.

I will enjoy working with you and all the stitchers around the world in this SAL! Happy stitching!

Shari!! How exciting! I'm so happy for you girl! I have been eyeing this sampler for the last week and I'm thinking I need to stitch it too! 1st part coming out today and I don't have the fabric,,,don't even know the size. I'd better go study:)

I am very excited about this SAL, and am sitting on "ready", but I do not see where to download the first part, or where to make a donation.
Please help!

Shari - I would love to join the US blog for the Mary Wigham SAL. I just downloaded part 1 of the chart. I want so badly to start this right away, but I have a couple of other obligation pieces I need to finish first. I hope to join in within the next couple of weeks. Thanks!

I just downloaded Part 1. I'm so excited. Thanks for letting me join. I donated a sum I felt was reasonable for the chart as a whole so I don't have to do 9 separate transactions on paypal.

Ok, I sent you an email but apparently it came back to me unknown. I want to join your SAL, my email is jamiestitcher62@aol.com please include me. I was somehow able to download the first chart though.

Julie said...

Its beautiful, but seeing as I've given up (for now) on Quaker Virtues, I don't think I need to start something else, but I'm considering it.

Hi -- I have just downloaded the first part of this design, and made a Paypal donation to help with Mary W's dowry. No fabric or fibers yet, but I do plan to work on this gem along with the Beatrix Potter SAL that I have been working on since the beginning of the year. Don't know how long it will take me to finish both, but I would love to be a part of the USA Mary Wigham SAL. I will look around for your email address so that you can send me an invitation.
Many thanks to you for taking the project on.

We will be leaving California and heading to maine by vehicle. We will be leaving in a few weeks. I plan on stitching this as I travel and will send pictures along the way. I am so excited.

On the Sample Life list today "specialty stitches" were mentioned. Has anyone come across them? I'm stitching on 32 count and have just began so I want to catch them, before it's too late. =)

Hi Shari,

I'm not sure what a SAL is, but it's exciting, whatever it is! I LOVE the Mary Wigham piece. I'm a very slow stitcher and have a bazillion projects in the works, so it will be slow but steady stitching. I'm still deciding on color combinations. There are some very beautiful ones out there.

I would love to join.
Thanks,
Carol E.
