Mary Wigham Sampler 1790
A lot of you will be very familiar with Mary Wigham of Ackworth School fame. For those stitchers that love the sampler world and Mary Wigham’s sampler you can read all about Mary and download a PDF of this fabulous sampler for free (a donation is requested but not required). There is also a free world wide stitch along that you can join if you so choose. This brings me to one of the most exciting blogs I have ever been to. Not only can you read about Mary and her sampler, download the PDF, find and join in the country of your choice stitch along group, but the blog has many other fabulous posts that I know you will enjoy reading about. Take the time to visit Jacqueline Holdsworth’s blog at www.needleprint.blogspot.com and find out more about this amazing sampler and read about Mary,her history and connection with Ackworth School. For the three Mary Wigham links scroll down and watch the right side menu for the following captions; 1. Mary Wigham SAL – Country Head Girls, 2. Mary Wigham forever sal (PDF download), 3. Read the Mary Wigham Story by Donna Dzierleng. 
Now this all leads me to something that I am very excited about. I have been talking with Jacqueline Holdsworth regarding a new design that I am working on in honor of Mary Wigham. The design should be released some time in February and will be announced here and also on Jacqueline’s site. So now that I have teased you all a little be sure to watch for the Mary Wigham 3D special.
