So many Mary Wigham originals

I am knocked over by all the beauty that has arrived in my inbox today -you are spoiling me. I really don't know where to start. So, I'll start with Marion's version of Mary Wigham. Marion is from Austria.
Those lovely cool, neutral shades remind me of silver birch bark, snow on ski slopes, frothed buttermilk and the fleece of spring lambs. They are such a surprise to me, so unexpected and such a delight. And this is just one example. I am overjoyed by all your design talent - and I have to ask, where would we be without blogs? How much talent would remain hidden, never seeing the light of day? I applaud you all.
I shall be featuring the other lovely samplers I have seen throughout the week, and later tonight you can enjoy a preview in our gallery.
If you haven't yet joined the International Mary Wigham SAL, I hope this example will have you downloading a free chart and picking up your needle right away!

    I would love to know what threads and colors/numbers are being used for this particular version of Mary Wigham. They just speak to me.

    To link to the head girls, just click on the flags on the right hand bar and then choose a flag. We haven't posted pictures of head girls, I guess I was concerned about privacy issues, but if they would like to send me a photo then we can arrange that also.

    Your sampler is gorgeous, Marion. I love your color choices. Do you have a blog or online photo album? I think that we would all like to see more of your finished stitching. Thanks for sharing the photo of your "Mary Wigham".

    Marion,

    Thanks. It looks like the fabric is white or antique white. All of the colors really work and I hope you don't mind if I consider using the same.


    It was not a problem at all understanding your comments.

    Bonni,
    that makes me do nothing. It`s nice if I could make a suggestion. The Fabric is white.

    It is very nice that my colors so much praise there. Thank you.
