Yumi-san is creating Mary Wigham on blue

We have seen a great variety of threads being used to stitch Mary Wigham, and now here is an opportunity to appreciate Mary Wigham stitched on a very different ground - a rich blue linen. Yumi was uncertain about her uncommon color choice though, and worried that other SAL stitchers might think her strange! But having encouragement to stitch an 'original Mary Wigham' took the load off her mind and now she is stitching happily! This is your time to express yourself, the same way Mary did. Stitch to please yourself - something that resonates with your unique spirit - then how can it fail to be beautiful?

    I think this is absolutely beautiful! I love the rich color of the fabric and the paler thread. Very striking :) Excellent choice, Yumi:)

    Blue is not my favourite colour for stitching, but that is STUNNING! So lovely, Yumi!

    It is so colonial looking! Beautiful! The more I look at everyone's work, the more I keep changing my mind as to how I want to stitch mine. Great job Yumi!

    that is really lovely - I am thinking that a light thread on a darker background may be the way to go now!

    This is one of my favourites, too...and I don't intend to hurt anyone, as I am NOT including mine in my favourite list, gosh this painful to admit. So,just like Jennifer I keep thinking of changing mine. Awsome! Just BRILLIANT!

    When Jacqueline posted it she said Yumi was uncertain of her choice of colours and that has been on my mind ever since and makes me wonder how other Yumi's pieces should look like - amazing I'm sure. Saho does Yumi have a blog?

    Using colored threads makes this beautiful. BUT using the blue fabric with gold overdye is just stunning...really makes you stop and look!
