The First Mary Wigham - Signed and Sealed!

Is this the first Mary Wigham completed? Christine says: This morning, I wake up very soon, because I wanted to stitch. The day will be sunny and I want to go to walk along the sea, but, before, I have to stitch the last part of the SAL! After some hours, here is the result. I have added the date and my name. It was a great pleasure for me to stitch this chart and, I really thank you for this. I'll continue to visit Needleprint but in French. This'll be more easy for me. It's a very good idea to translate it in French.
Paule will be pleased to hear that you will now be reading Needleprint in French, but we also look forward to seeing more of your work here in the future. It 's been a pleasure to have you stitching along with us, Christine.
Can you see that Christine's sampler measures 25 centimetres across - about 10 inches?

  21. Christine has just sent some more details about her sampler:
    If you want to known what count linen I used -
    It's 30 count linen, over 1 thread and with DMC 3777, 838 and 840.
    The sampler is 10" on 9,6".
    I hope you agree my answer and you understand my bad english!
    Excuse me, but I'm French.
