Last week, James and I visited Mason for fun and business. Along the way, we stopped by the
Mason County M. Beven Eckert Memorial Library. I popped my head into the Stribling Room and by chance saw a truly wondrous sight hanging on a wall. This 3.5-foot-by-7-foot masterpiece (thank you for measuring, librarian Cristi Slocum) showcases 47 Texas wildflowers embroidered by the late
Mytle Willman Wade of Mason. Since I’ve embroidered in my past, I can especially appreciate and admire the many hours that Mrs. Wade worked, meticulously stitching on this spectacular piece.
