Thank you for all the designs, we have 52 in total! I'm creating a poll which will be up very shortly. :)

EDIT: Poll topic is now up: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=15597
You will have five votes and the poll will be up for five days, so make sure you place all your votes!

The next stage will be the stitching, which I will talk more about after the poll. Officially the stitching begins May 2nd, but if you want to prepare your samplers by starting on borders or whatever you want to do, feel free to use this time to do so!

I was planning on using 18-count. I made sure to grab it from the stash at my bf's house before I left this weekend ^_^

I am way too excited to participate in my first site event.

Whatever I have spare in my aida bucket! I was thinking of stitching extra squares on it later so it'll have to be something decently sized, I'm sure there's something in the bucket that will suit. :)

Think I'm going to give it a shot on my 28 count cloth.

I'm going to use this as a chance to try out something smallish on 28 count for the first time!

That's awesome! I guess I just meant how big is the Aida cloth going to be? As in, how much room are you allowing yourself to stitch on?

Oh! Um, I just bought a packet of aida instead of a roll, and I'm probably not going to cut it since there are like 6 that I want to do :grin:

I was thinking of doing each block on a different color aida and then connecting them together or attaching them to a plain white or black aida background and put borders in between.
