I first saw this chart posted in one of the many Facebook Cross Stitch groups I belong to. Maryland Blue Crab is the first of the Chesapeake Bay series by Ardith Designs.
I had a piece of fabric in my stash in 16ct aida almost the exact color of the fabric used on the model. I selected Weeks Dye Works Jay Bird as the floss. It stitched up very quickly and now I need to decide how to finish it.
The fabric is much prettier than my photo shows.
I look forward to seeing what other designs she has for this series.
I sent this one off to Vonna Pfeiffer, The Twisted Stitcher to be finished.

Lovely project and stitching. You are so right about the Aida is perfect.

What a wonderful Blue Crab piece you stitched, Pat!
