I haven't had the opportunity to read it yet, but I've printed it out to read on the plane later this week.<br /><br />It will be so wonderful to read about Mary. I always believe that there is more to an embroidered piece than just the stitches.<br /><br />When I get my sampler framed, I'll have my framer put a plastic pocket on the back of the frame where I can insert "Mary's" story.<br /><br />Thank you.<br />EllenEllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523407606564012693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385848468383267674.post-87681816871702645922009-07-20T05:36:20.116+01:002009-07-20T05:36:20.116+01:00Jacqueline,

However, we can hazard that HT just under Mary's name is Hannah Thistlethwaite - her mother's maiden name and further down there is JW for John Wigham her father. There is also HW for Hannah her sister. Are the intials ending with 'H' related to the Hustler family? I am afraid as yet we do not know. But what is interesting is that the very presence of these initials suggest links to the North of England or Scottish tradition of including densely populated ranks of paired initials on samplers.N E E D L E P R I N Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016259421156728225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385848468383267674.post-56462889995921939622009-07-18T07:47:14.588+01:002009-07-18T07:47:14.588+01:00Thank you for adding to our knowledge of Mary by g...Thank you for adding to our knowledge of Mary by giving us access to her biography & family history. <br />This has been an amazing experiene in sharing one woman's story & accomplishements with the world of stitching.Pam R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13319329978181533067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385848468383267674.post-57446051518256031132009-07-18T07:32:16.496+01:002009-07-18T07:32:16.496+01:00How wonderful to read Mary's history & bio...How wonderful to read Mary's history & biography.
