My Latest Progress

Hello co-stitchers!
I find it very interesting and useful to read everyone's messages here and watch everyone's progress. Isn't it amazing how different the sampler looks in the different palettes we are using? Everyone's version is so pretty and unique!
Well, here is what I've stitched since my previous post.I still enjoy stitching it a lot and wish I had more time.
Happy stitching!

My Mary Wigham Part I

Hello Everyone!
I have wanted to stitch a Quaker sampler for a long time and was very happy to find this SAL.
I am stitching my sampler 1 x 1 on 26 count Ecru fabric of unknown origin, it was a piece of fabric from a grab bag. I've reduced the number of colors that the sampler calls for, left a few which I like and added some Mauve and Purple shades. I wanted to keep White in my palette, tried Blank and B5200 but both did not show up on my fabric. After long experiments with White I substituted it and not sorry about it.
As work on my own designs takes a lot of time, MW sampler is my car project , it is with me wherever I go.
In the pictures you can see my MW palette, and work on Part I.
I really enjoy working on Mary's sampler, it's almost addictive.
Happy stitching to everyone!
