Another Mary Wigham Proudly Joins the Ranks!


It is a few years ago now since we had the Mary Wigham stitchalong and what fun that was! But there are still more Mary Wighams out there in the making and every so often one of them comes knocking at the door to say hello to us. This spectacular sampler was stitched by Joke in the Netherlands. Joke says: Here is a picture of my finished Mary Wigham. I know I am way behind many others, but yet I am proud finishing it. It stiched on 40 count linen, a challenge to my eyes! I just wanted to tell you I enjoyed stitching and finishing. The initials I added are from my Dutch needlework friends. And you should be very proud indeed, Joke, this is a wonderful accomplishment - many congratulations!

  3. This beauty is indeed a true masterpiece! I've seen it in real and it stuck my breath. Joke is an expert in those little stitches. I'm honored that my initials have a little place on that piece of art.

  5. We are very proud of our friend Joke, we saw her Mary grow and grow and in the end she surprised and honoured us by putting our initials in this beautiful embroidery. Isn't that great? We thought it was super!
