Just Joined . . . . Anxious to start sampler

Hi there!! My name is Glenda and I live in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA. A good friend of mine told me about this sampler, and I love it - - SO . . here I am!!

I am trying to learn my way around the website. Since I only speak and read English, I get kind of lost!! Would anyone be able to tell me how to go about getting the patterns. I think I'm about 2-3 months behind. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have seen the pictures that everyone has posted of their sampler. I am VERY impressed!! Looks like everyone is doing a fabulous job.

I look forward to getting to know some of you. I know there will be a language barrier, but maybe there is someone out there that understands me!! LOL

Happy stitching!!

Glenda

ABC

I received more questions about the ABC. If you want to understand the curiosities on the stitched one, you have to know a little about our writing. Our whole ABC is the following (I put a picture here because your browser settings might not support Hungarian characters. If so, try to change the Encoding method to Central European ISO 8859-2.):

You can see why S and Z have the same color. It’s one letter that sounds like the S in English. (sound, stitch, setting, …). If you are interested in, you can read more here.

Phrase - Szólás

Sabine asked and I should write about it earlier:
What's the meaning of the words in the sampler? Would it be possible to get an english translation and stitch that instead of the hungarian words?
The hungarian phrase "Minden kezdet nehéz" says "All beginning is hard". I guess there is no similar phrase in english. But please suggest sentences instead of this. (Or if we don't find a common solution you may stitch what you want.)

Sabine megkérdezte, hogy mit jelenenek a magyar szavak. Kértem, hogy küldjenek javaslatot helyette.

Red-black / Piros-fekete

We will put the second pattern here in the middle of March. So you have one month to stitch the first. / A második részletet március közepén kapjuk. Egy hónap alatt kéne tehát befejezni az elsőt.
Here is a color sample for you, I like it! / Itt van az új piros-fekete mintakép. Nagyon szép!

Color codes - Szín kódok a tervezgetéshez

Hi everybody,
I am glad that our little team gathered together!
I want to give you the DMC color codes I’ve planned, but I have to say that I could see the result on the screen only! There are 3 or 4 colors in the variants, so you can vary them as you like.
The codes:
Brown variant: 780, 3853, 951
Wine-red variant: 3721, 223, 712
Green variant: (3347) 3346, 471, 834, ecru
Who would like to stitch the traditionally most used red-black coloration, should use red, black, or nothing instead of ecru.
We’ll put up the pattern in pdf and WXS too. In WXS it is possible to change the colors, worthy to test. You can download the Easy Cross demo program from the link below.

Sziasztok!
Nagyon örülök, hogy összejött egy kis csapat!
Leírom, a programban milyen DMC színeket használtam, de rögtön az elején azzal kezdem, hogy én csak képernyőn látom az eredményt!
3 vagy 4 szín van a változatokban, ez elég kevés ahhoz, hogy ízlés szerint lehet variálni.
Az általam használt színeket is érdemes alaposan megnézni a boltban, hogy eléggé hasonlít-e a virtuális kép színeihez.

A kódok:
BARNA: 780, 3853, 951
BORDÓ: 3721, 223, 712
ZÖLD: (3347) 3346, 471, 834, ECRUT

A piros - kék mintakendőnél is szerepel az ekrü.
Aki a leggyakoribb piros - fekete színezést szeretné, az ekrü helyett piros, fekete vagy semmi se legyen ...

WXS-ben is felrakjuk a mintát, abban lehet cserélgetni a színeket, érdemes kipróbálni.

Join us!

One of my Hungarian friends (Mari) designed a wonderful sampler with traditional motifs.
We’d like to organize a SAL with it.
Project is 142 stitches wide and 283 stitches tall. Design size on 14 count Aida: about 26 cm by 51 cm. Pattern calls for 2 floss colors of your choice.
Everyone is welcome to join the SAL.

Mari (morcs), the designer:

Do you like samplers? Stitch with us this Hungarian sampler. I chose the motifs from the rich Hungarian folk art.

I’ll add one part a month, starting 2008 February.

You can stitch the sampler as shown, or stitch only some of the borders for a pillow or anything else. The options are limitless. Please share with us your ideas.

It would be good to see your works!
