Hello fellow Mary Wigham stitchers, here's my progress so far. I really thought I could get the first page done in a week, but I was wrong! Just not enough stitching hours in the day.

I'm using 32 count Belfast antique tan and Hand-Dyed Fibers' Premium silk in the new "Be" colors. I love stitching with just one strand when possible. The fabric really isn't blotchy - I took the picture outside and there are bits of sunlight peeking through the trees. The initials in turquoise will probably be frogged in the near future --a little too bright for me. But I am loving the variegated look the of the silk even though choosing colors is way out of my comfort zone!

Happy stitching, Leslie
