On Tuesday I started my cloth, and here is my work up to yesterday ( I haven't stitched today). I'm making mine with HDF thread from my stash. It's definitely a pleasure to stitch this pattern!!!
Way to go! You must stitch every free moment that you have.... Well I can't wait until tomorrow I will be going down to get my linen and threads and then I will get started.... I hope to get up to speed with the first page so when the second page comes out I will be ready to start stitching on it!
Thanks for your comments, Mary comes in a really good week for stitching, and I made a lot in two days. I still have not finish it but I'll try to finish it before the second part will be released :D
Welcome to the Mary Wigham USA Stitch-Along Blog. I hope everyone enjoys working on their own Mary while seeing everyone else's progress! It's inspirational to see all the different color combinations being stitched! If there are any questions, please contact Valerie, Group Moderator, via email at fcdweller@yahoo.com
Materials List
To be as all inclusive as possible we are suggesting 32 count Permin Lambswool stitched over 2 threads and you will need 24" x 24" or 60cm x 60 cm of linen. (The design area will be approximately 20" x 20" - 50cm x 50cm.) If you are able to stitch smaller, then please do. Mary's sampler is approximately 13" by 12.5" - 33cm x 31.5cm. The stitch count is approximately 300 stitches by 290.
Floss colors: Mary Wigham SAL - DMC Threads Here are the DMC thread shades for Mary Wigham but feel free to convert them to whatever threads you prefer. You will need 1 skein each of: 225, 352, 356, 407, 433, 435, 519, 725, 739, 746, 927, 930, 934, 963, 966, 3052,3768, 3822, 3855, 3857, ecru, white, black. There is no 560.
Obviously, we are all open to chose what ever fabric color/count we would like to use. Same goes for flosses. It was just suggested by a member that this be posted for easy access for everyone.
