So here we are !
And we will have a appointement every 5 of each month, during 5 months, to dicover to 5 parts of this Be Glad.
Here are all the infomation you need to prepare your material
Final dimensions of our Be Glad : 195 x 106 stiches
Our finish BE GLAD will have the shape of lying rectangle
This diagram also shows the order in which you'll decover the charts and
since we are conscencious stichers, we'll start our stitching, identifying the center of our fabric which is shown on the chart with the black dot (this is a virtual point, it only represents the center of the fabric and should not be stitched).

On each chart, you'll probably notice I suggest DMC 814 - Dark Garnet.
But of course, just feel free to choose the color that suits you best for this project,
and why not a overdyed thread ? It will perfectly fit this design.
Also to have you all set for this adventure, note that if you stitch this Be Glad with 2 strands over 2 counts of linen or evenweave 32 counts or on Aïda 14 counts, then you will roughly need 2,5 flosses on the all.
It's difficult for me to tell you exactly how much thread you will need for every kind of fabric, but this will give you at least, an approximate indication.

The charts will be on line every 5 of th emonth, from January to May 2007.
And of the more impatient and/or insomniac of you, you will have the possibility to click on the clock here-under to get the monthly chart as early as 0h01
!!
Later in the day, you will be able to download the chart clicking on the PDF logo just here.
