The bird, the rose,the butterfly are all so well executed but the best part is the meaning they hold for you as a remembrance of your husband. I love that you are venturing out to share your beautiful work- no one cares if you are a beginner at the video game- you are sharing a lifetime of skill and accomplishment- that is what we are excited to see- please don’t feel pressured - you are a natural- we just want to see what you are doing as you go on your merry stitching journey!!! I for one would like to stitch along- no telling what we all might get up to!!!!!
Thank you so much Diane for your encouragement and kind words. I've surprised myself that I'm enjoying making the videos, but everyone seems to like them... It's definitely an adventure and I've always got lots of ideas for things to do ☺️💐
You have become my absolute favorite youtuber. I love your art so much. I admire how you have so much to say that is interesting . I would get in front of the camera and draw a blank. Keep up the great work. Your channel is growing wonderfully.
Thank you. I was very nervous at first, but I think because I'm talking about things I love to do, it doesn't seem so daunting anymore... Thank you for watching...
Yellow roses have always been my favorite. This stitch book is filled with all sorts of treasures and memories only you can hold dear, and a wonderful tribute to your husband amongst them. Enjoyed this video, amazed at how lovely and perfect your stitching is, look forward to your next adventure in creativity! Thank you again for sharing your work and talent!
Your stitch book is done so beautifully. You’re very talented. I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. I lost my husband 15 years ago and understand how difficult it is without them. I also really enjoyed seeing some of your garden. Its breathtaking. ❤
Marion - so sorry for your loss!! You are an absolute inspiration and very creative! I have not gotten any stitching done this week because I have been happily enjoying your videos!! I spin, weave, knit, quilt, embroider, garden etc. anything fiber related. I have never painted … but because of you I ordered the Inktense Blocks and am looking forward to making a flower book!!! Again huge thumbs up - ❤!! Also, thank you for sharing and you are such a great teacher!!!
Marian what wonderful memories you hold in your heart your dear husband would be so proud of what you are doing in creating your channel and sharing with your subscribers iam so grateful to have found You a very special and talented Lady you have given me so much to look forward to as and when you are able to share ❤❤😂Bless Your Heart and THANKYOU from EILEEN in Suffolk England
Hi Marion! i just finished watching all of your videos of your wonderful fabric book. what a treasure! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing work with all of us. each piece is so lovely and beautifully stitched. i especially love the yellow rose and the flying bluetit. how great to have all of those pieces together in one book that you can enjoy looking at over and over and over. so happy that this project yielded a youtube channel as well as a beautiful book. thank you Marion! linda from California
I could never have imagined that I'd be sitting here typing to someone in California who had been able to see what I'd been sewing... You just never know what can happen.
Enjoying your work again,I'm in USA 68 yrs old ,after many yrs I'm beginning to sew again going to make me a book,thank you for sharing and cheering me up, love all your videos and garden ,have a blessed day my friend😍
Thank you for sharing your beautiful book, the last two pages in memory of your husband are exquisite. I am so glad that I found Marion’s world. Your videos are a pleasure to watch please keep sharing your work with us, I would love to stitch along with you.
Marion thank you for your wonderful videos. I love to see your garden, your cooking and your stitching is just amazing, I am in awe of your talent and am looking forward to many more. Please don't change your lovely natural way and I look forward to stitching along with you!
Hi Marion Thanks for sharing your beautiful book,the last two pages dedicated to your husband’s memory are absolutely exquisite ❤. I’m so pleased you are continuing and I look forward to seeing what is coming up. You are doing a great job with your videos and they are a pleasure to watch.
What a lovely message to read. Thank you Tracey. I did look at some other stitching type videos before I started, but they didn't seem to be how I wanted to do it. So I just thought I'd pretend I was talking to a friend and be natural.
The thought processes you go through for each page are teaching moments all by themselves. It’s amazing to me how you let the work speak to you and tell you what it wants to be. You are truly a natural at this! Don’t stop!
Marion, you are so lovely!! And your stitching, and various art pieces are just Magnificent!! Blessings and love to you! Your husband was a very lucky man to share his life with such a beautiful soul as yours! ❤🙏🌈🌻
I’m glad you were brave enough to start your channel as I’m so enjoying it. The bird and rose are magnificent and such a lovely homage to your husband. Looking forward to your next video. Thank you for sharing with us!
Greetings from India. No matter which part of the world we all come from..deep felt emotions run the same...if only the world would remember...love the blue tit and the yellow rose..so very beautiful. Marion, yours is one of my favourite channels..the authenticity with which you share....The feeling is like a quiet balm and makes me wanting to put on a pot of water for tea, onto boil!:). I think we all gather here to receive these lovely natural gifts you have to share. Wishing you for this season..and all other viewers too.
Thank you for your lovely message. I'm so happy you enjoyed my book. The stitching of that book was so emotional at times and means so much to me. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't have started this channel at all. I didn't even realise what TH-cam was all about really... Thank you. :)
Your such a lovely talented beautiful lady, your videos are so captivating when your are showing your stitch book. So looking forward to more of your videos😊
What a beautiful video. Your stitchbook is exquisite and the story behind it very moving. I have so enjoyed looking at all its pages and marvelling at your talent.
Marion I so enjoyed all of the walk through of your book, and the detailed information for each page. I appreciate the depth and honesty you bring to your work and your willingness to share. ❤❤❤
I have a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes, (I lost my mum a month ago), your blue tit and rose are such a wonderful labour of love and are there now forever. I would love a stitch a long please x
Thank you so much Moira. I wasn't sure I could say anything, but I just had to explain those pages like I'd done the others. It's going to be an adventure doing another book and showing it at the same time! I'm looking forward to doing it 😊
@@marionsworld24 Perhaps you could give us a list of items we will need so we can be ready? I’ve never made a fabric book but I have lots of scraps I have saved over the years and I’m so looking forward to sharing your adventures x
I love the pages that you have created in memory of your husband (I'm so sorry for your loss) 🌷In particular, the yellow rose got me excited because I have two Graham Thomas rose bushes in my garden. I originally bought one for my mother after my brother, Graham Thomas, died from cancer at the age of 45. I happened to come across it at a local nursery and I knew I had to have it. She loved roses and I'd hoped it would help her with her grieving. I love watching them bloom these days as since my mother and father have now passed I think of the three of them every time it flowers. Thank you for your heartfelt videos Marion. I can't wait to see more 🌷
It's the most gorgeous rose. At my house it is the very first rose to flower. The scent is spectacular and I get people commenting on it if they see me in the front garden as the scent really travels. It's lovely that your memories have such a beautiful association. Mine do too...
Yaaaay dragon tutorial!! Will be looking forward to that. Yes definitely love a look at others craft rooms. Your bird and rose are stunning! So delicate and intricate. Do love the way you explain your procedure especially with the butterfly. What a beautiful mistake hahaha. Your sentiments if you dear husband brought a tear to my eye especially when you said about the two green slitches making a heart ...I couldn’t help but think that was from him. ❤❤❤
I think it was from him too ♥️ Thank you for your encouraging comment about the explanations. Hopefully I can continue like that as I move onto new things.
@@marionsworld24 do it all at your own pace honey. Art is never meant to be a chore or we just won’t do it. Lolol. 😂😂We need to “feel” it to make beautiful things. You’re doing wonderfully. let it flow hon when it needs to. Sending a lot of love your way ❤️
I’m so sorry you have lost your husband, I know if he was married to you, he was special, as I think you are quite special Marion !!! This book is just amazingly beautiful!! You are such a talented, meticulous stitcher !!! Hugs from Tennessee, U.S.A. 🤗🩷
Oh thank you Susan. Michael was wonderful.. I was only 17 when we met and he was nineteen and we married 2 years later. He is in my heart and mind every day. 💕
Marion I just love listening to you and had tears in my eyes several times. The blue tit absolutely beautiful . A blue tit had its let caught in a bird feeder. I heard it crying and managed to calm it whilst I held it and freed the blue tit. Then the rose more tears. My lovely husband died last July after 63 years together. My wedding bouquet was yellow roses. My W.I. Friends gave me a Yellow Rose to plant in the garden after his funeral. Thank you and I wish you all the best with your new adventures.😊❤
Hello Sheila. I'm pleased you managed to free the little bird. My bouquet was also yellow roses. We were married 43 years before he passed away. My daughter and I planted another yellow rose in the garden for him. It's The Poet's Wife. Which is a beautiful rose with good scent. I hope you're managing alright. It can be a hard journey we're on. Best wishes to you. 💐
Marion, this video is just beautiful. I can feel the emotion in your pages, such a beautiful loving tribute to your husband. 🥰You have amazing talent, and I am so grateful for you sharing your skills and your story with us. Your husband sounds like a man we would have all liked to know, with his love of birds and beautiful roses. Isn't it incredible that something you were unhappy with initially, (your butterfly) has us gaping in awe of how amazing it is. 😍
You're so kind Leanne. I'm so pleased now that I decided to go ahead and do this channel. I didn't think so many people would see it so quickly though... It's a bit daunting, but good at the same time.
As temperatures are already 104 here in Arizona I am always looking for relaxing projects to do inside. So nice to be able to use the bits I already have ! Love your lush garden. Makes me cooler looking at it. Count me as one more of your devoted followers!
I can't even imagine it being that hot! It was 78 here on Friday and that was plenty hot for me 😊🌞 Thank you so much for wanting to follow what I'll be doing. What sort of thing do you like to sew?
@@marionsworld24 I smocked dresses for my daughter when she was little, embroidered (silk ribbon too'), crochet and knit items to donate to local Indian reservations here in Arizona. I do a little quilting. The stitch book will be a great way to use scraps I just couldn't throw away. I love and want to try it all!
You sound just like me! I always just want to try it all. Experiment with new techniques I've only just found out about, and have fun creating in whatever medium is my current passion ☺️💕
Your work is exquisite. Thank you for sharing the inspiration for the bird and rose. I'm very sorry about your husband, and these are lovely tributes to his memory. There is wonderful lore about "Hag Stones" (also known as Fairy Stones, Witch Stones, Holy Stones and more). They have a long, rich history of being sacred and magical. 💕🧚♀
Thank you so much. I've always called them holey stones and have collected them since I was a child. My sewing and stitching has really helped me through the last 18 months. Almost obsessively so. I've made so much stuff!
Beautiful work Marion. You are indeed an artist. I look forward to many more lovely videos in the future. I love the glimpses of your gorgeous garden. I live in Perth Western Australia and I have subscribed to your channel.
Hello from alberta canada.i discovered your stitch videos about a month or so.and your stitching creativity amazes me everytime i check in which seems often..Thank you so much for teaching us to love this craft as it really does bring me peace and pride as i learn Thank you for your patience and calmness.I lost my husband 18yrs ago and life became so busy and no time to start a craft .I hope that i can pass this too onto my daughter and she will find peace within one day.
Breathtaking Blue Tit, Butterfly and Rose. Our 'Arthur Bell' climbs up one side of an arch with a golden honeysuckle up the other side just blooming as the rose is finishing. The perfumes are lovely. What a tribute to your husband making the book extra special. I'm so thankful that you are planning to share more of your skills with us. After over a month of dry days (very cold until a week ago) we had 11.5mm rain so we're 😊 in Lincs.
Absolutely stunning work on the bird and the rose. So glad you could repurpose the butterfly wings, they are perfect on the cover. Your book is a real treasure.
@@marionsworld24 🤩🤩 I love slow-stitching and Hand embroidery, but have not done intricate embroidery like you have done. I'm primarily a quilter who makes memory quilts as a business. I love fabric books ❤️ I am doing 2 journal covers with slow-stitching at the moment, using mark-making painted fabric as a base.
Hi Marion, I have only just caught up with your 100 days of stitching your pages are amazing. Your blue wren and yellow rose are such a beautiful tribute to your husband. ❤ julie Tasmania Australia.
Stunning work, stitched with love and, I'm sure, many other emotions😔. How privileged I feel to hear you describe the significance of these works of art❤
New to your channel, I am about to start my year of stitching journal following your wonderful explanation. Just had to leave a comment here, your work is absolutely beautiful and inspiring especially your rose and blue tit. What beautiful memories they will hold. Best wishes, Geraldine
Marion, what a brave video, thank you for sharing, your work is incredible and a very talented lady . I definitely will look out for your new utube video, . Have a pleasant weekend, sending soft hugs Teresa xx
Thank you Teresa. I delayed that video because I just didn't know whether I'd be able to talk though it. But in the end I just had to start and do it. I'm pleased I did. Thank you so much for your message of support.
Thank you for starting your channel, I’ve enjoyed all your videos. The book is just gorgeous, the rose is beautiful and the rosebuds are so lifelike. Thank you for the inspiration.
Oh. I'm sad to hear that Sharon. I'm pleased that you are enjoying watching my beginner videos. I already can tell I'm getting better at doing them. Thank you so much for sending me a message. I feel like I'm being invited into you home when you decide to watch something I've posted. Thank you. I hope you keep well.
@@marionsworld24 Thank you, Marion for your thoughtful kind reply. I will be better once July 12th passes. That date is the birthday of my father, of blessed memory, who passed away in September last year.
Thank you for sharing the personal and sweet inspiration for these pages and the details about the ones that were made as remembrances of your husband. I just can't help but think that heart appearing magically on the fabric for the last page was no accident, as neither was your inspiration to place the heart differently and next to the rose. He must have taken much joy in watching your creative spirit at work and continues to do so, have no doubt. 💞
I am late to the story of your book, but what a story Marion. Thank you so much for sharing with us. You are one very talented lady and I cannot wait to see what comes next. You are my favourite TH-cam channel by far.
Lovely video. There is something about you and your art that inspires people. I read all the comments so I know we all feel the same. There’s a lot of positive energy here. I feel it. Our garden grass has turned to hay here in Wisconsin. I’m working on a little bower of potted annuals. When I was out there today with my hands in the dirt, I thought of you. A house wren chastised me because her babies are in a nearby birdhouse. She and her mate finally got used to me being there. I got a late start on my bower tho there are pluses: clearance prices at the nursery and flowers lasting longer into the summer. Summers are so relentlessly hot here, potted plants typically look wan too soon for me. Gardening, I thought of making a smaller stitch book. My mind flew. Peace to all. 🦋
Lovely to think of you in your garden and the little wren shouting at you...😊 For a tiny bird they definitely have a huge voice! I had to look up where Wisconsin is and ended up down the rabbit hole of interesting information 😊 Great lakes, badgers, dairy farming and Green Bay being voted the best place to live in America.... The comments I've been getting have been unbelievable. I'm so pleased and thankful, but also I just didn't expect it at all. It's taken me by surprise. My sewing really kept me going since Michael passed away. He always said I lived in my own little world, which is why it's the name of my channel. I feel like I'm beginning to peek out....
Thank you for being so brave and blessing us with your beautiful handiwork. I really enjoy high quality work and can be a bit critical, because I also do a bit. Please keep up the good work Anita x
You will find that your channel will become a form of social life for you and you will have a lot of followers, as your work is just beautiful. Such a refreshing video . I love your garden too. It is a treat to see your embroidery work. Crafting can help a lot in bereavement. You are very talented, not to mention modest. Blessings x
Thank you so much Mary. My sewing has really kept me going. The amount of things I've made this last year or so is unbelievable. It has been something I had to concentrate on which helped a lot even whilst it was also relaxing.
You may think you are a novice at making videos but you’re so talented that it’s a joy to watch. Your book is such a treasure and wonderful memories of your life with your husband. ❤ thank you for sharing. Your garden must be beautiful going by those yellow roses 🌹
I have so enjoyed watching your videos while stitching hexagons together and subscribed as soon as a the first video I watched ended. So from Australia thank you for sharing your talent, memories and your own little part of the world with everyone.
Oh I'm so happy you've enjoyed watching Karen. I've only just started stitching hexies. Although I've made lots of quilts I somehow never fancied doing them before. A few weeks ago I got a hankering to make some and I'm sure you'll get to see them on a future video ☺️ What are you making with your hexagons?
@@marionsworld24 I’ve not completed anything yet but am close to finishing the top of my first ever hand sewn quilt made of half inch hexagons all from scraps and bits from charity shops. You should see the first ones I stitched together compared to where my stitching is now. Lol. It’s been quite the journey. A friend suggested that I started doing them when I was recovering after an accident. I’ve always thought that English Paper Piecing was really difficult but it’s a bit of an addiction now. I haven’t even fussy cut anything! There are another four I’ve started, one is for a friend and I’m doing a Grandmothers Flower Garden for her. I’ve been collecting Kaffe Fassett fabric to do a colour wash blue/green quilt inspired by Kate at the Last Homely House for my son and his girlfriend. I plan on donating any other quilts I make. I find stitching and not thinking about what I’m doing such a huge stress release. I’d love to take part in the Roxy’s Journal of Stitchery challenges and will one day but I felt pressure to create and wasn’t enjoying it the times I’ve started. Maybe when there is a little less stress in my life. ☺️
I've only heard of the Roxy journal since I started my channel and I've never heard of the other person. Sewing is definitely very therapeutic. Although I've sewed since I was a child I think this last 18 months I've just been a bit obsessive about it. But it's what has kept me going and I do get such pleasure from creating things. Stitching should hopefully not cause you stress. From my point of view I end up in my own little world. 💕
@@marionsworld24Hi Marion, I’ve been watching you’re videos for a couple of months and am finally getting around to watching you’re other ones. So I’m binge watching. I lost my husband of 48 years, 6 months before you lost yours. He was the best husband and papa. So your tribute to your husband really touched my heart. I’m going to make a memory book of our life together. Thank you for inspiring me with all the beautiful things you’ve made. You truly are a kind person and very talented ❤
What a lovely channel. Your videos are such a breath of fresh air…. Super simple and humble, full of nature, birds singing and your voice is also very soothing. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Your wee book is beautiful and the homage to your husband with the bird and rose brought tears to my eyes.
I love the blue tit and yellow rose that you have done in memory of your husband......wonderful tribute and such detail! Thank you for sharing these last pages of your incredibly inspiring 100 day book, I continue to enjoy your podcasts and look forward to the next ones especially a tour of your craft room! 😊

@@marionsworld24 do it all at your own pace honey. Art is never meant to be a chore or we just won’t do it. Lolol. 😂😂We need to “feel” it to make beautiful things.
You’re doing wonderfully. let it flow hon when it needs to. Sending a lot of love your way ❤️
I’m so sorry you have lost your husband, I know if he was married to you, he was special, as I think you are quite special Marion !!! This book is just amazingly beautiful!! You are such a talented, meticulous stitcher !!! Hugs from Tennessee, U.S.A. 🤗🩷
Oh thank you Susan. Michael was wonderful.. I was only 17 when we met and he was nineteen and we married 2 years later. He is in my heart and mind every day. 💕
@@marionsworld24 I’m sure he is ! Hugs from me. 🤗🤗🤗
You are very skilled! Beautiful needlework! So glad you’re continuing your filming and sharing with us your talent. Take care.
Thank you so much!
Marion I just love listening to you and had tears in my eyes several times. The blue tit absolutely beautiful . A blue tit had its let caught in a bird feeder. I heard it crying and managed to calm it whilst I held it and freed the blue tit. Then the rose more tears. My lovely husband died last July after 63 years together. My wedding bouquet was yellow roses. My W.I. Friends gave me a Yellow Rose to plant in the garden after his funeral. Thank you and I wish you all the best with your new adventures.😊❤
Hello Sheila. I'm pleased you managed to free the little bird.
My bouquet was also yellow roses. We were married 43 years before he passed away. My daughter and I planted another yellow rose in the garden for him. It's The Poet's Wife. Which is a beautiful rose with good scent.
I hope you're managing alright. It can be a hard journey we're on. Best wishes to you. 💐
Marion, this video is just beautiful. I can feel the emotion in your pages, such a beautiful loving tribute to your husband. 🥰You have amazing talent, and I am so grateful for you sharing your skills and your story with us. Your husband sounds like a man we would have all liked to know, with his love of birds and beautiful roses. Isn't it incredible that something you were unhappy with initially, (your butterfly) has us gaping in awe of how amazing it is. 😍
You're so kind Leanne. I'm so pleased now that I decided to go ahead and do this channel. I didn't think so many people would see it so quickly though... It's a bit daunting, but good at the same time.
Love your garden and stitching , beautiful work, from here in Canada'
Thank you so much Linda.
Amazing beautiful work Marion. And i have loved listening to you. X
💐💐💐
Simply beautiful. I'm sorry about your husband, he would be very proud of the bird and rose you made.
Thank you. My daughter said the same thing.💐🪡🧵
As temperatures are already 104 here in Arizona I am always looking for relaxing projects to do inside. So nice to be able to use the bits I already have ! Love your lush garden. Makes me cooler looking at it. Count me as one more of your devoted followers!
I can't even imagine it being that hot! It was 78 here on Friday and that was plenty hot for me 😊🌞
Thank you so much for wanting to follow what I'll be doing. What sort of thing do you like to sew?
@@marionsworld24 I smocked dresses for my daughter when she was little, embroidered (silk ribbon too'), crochet and knit items to donate to local Indian reservations here in Arizona. I do a little quilting.
The stitch book will be a great way to use scraps I just couldn't throw away.
I love and want to try it all!
You sound just like me! I always just want to try it all. Experiment with new techniques I've only just found out about, and have fun creating in whatever medium is my current passion ☺️💕
Another amazing episode. Look forward to upcoming projects
An unexpected one is on the way now...
You've made a very beautiful, memorable, stitch book.
Looking forward to seeing your next videos.
Thank you Sue 😊
Stunning pages in memory of your husband . I’m speechless over your butterfly ❤ beautiful Regards from Wales 🏴
Thanks so much Nicola ⭐
Thank you for sharing your amazing art in fabric book!!!!! I love it! You have inspired me to try this. Thank you!!!!
Love your stitch book..... you had me in tears! best wishes and happy stitching.
Thanks Rachel. I'm pleased you liked it.
Your work is exquisite. Thank you for sharing the inspiration for the bird and rose. I'm very sorry about your husband, and these are lovely tributes to his memory. There is wonderful lore about "Hag Stones" (also known as Fairy Stones, Witch Stones, Holy Stones and more). They have a long, rich history of being sacred and magical. 💕🧚♀
Thank you so much. I've always called them holey stones and have collected them since I was a child. My sewing and stitching has really helped me through the last 18 months. Almost obsessively so. I've made so much stuff!
Beautiful work Marion. You are indeed an artist. I look forward to many more lovely videos in the future. I love the glimpses of your gorgeous garden. I live in Perth Western Australia and I have subscribed to your channel.
Thank you so much. And for taking the time to message me too! I hope I can keep it all going....
Hello from alberta canada.i discovered your stitch videos about a month or so.and your stitching creativity amazes me everytime i check in which seems often..Thank you so much for teaching us to love this craft as it really does bring me peace and pride as i learn Thank you for your patience and calmness.I lost my husband 18yrs ago and life became so busy and no time to start a craft .I hope that i can pass this too onto my daughter and she will find peace within one day.
Thank you. 💐💐💐
Breathtaking Blue Tit, Butterfly and Rose. Our 'Arthur Bell' climbs up one side of an arch with a golden honeysuckle up the other side just blooming as the rose is finishing. The perfumes are lovely. What a tribute to your husband making the book extra special. I'm so thankful that you are planning to share more of your skills with us. After over a month of dry days (very cold until a week ago) we had 11.5mm rain so we're 😊 in Lincs.
I have Arthur Bell too ☺️ but not the climbing one. It is a beautiful one. Mine is just coming into flower now.
Absolutely stunning work on the bird and the rose. So glad you could repurpose the butterfly wings, they are perfect on the cover. Your book is a real treasure.
Thank you Sue. I'm definitely pleased with them now 😊
It's absolutely stunning and the meaning it has fir you is priceless
Thanks a lot Kimberley. It really does 💕💐
You are so talented! I have loved seeing your stitch book, and also loved the tribute to your husband. Chin, South Africa ❤
My goodness Cinzia! South Africa.... How wonderful...😊
What things do you like to stitch. Have you got a project on the go?
@@marionsworld24 🤩🤩 I love slow-stitching and Hand embroidery, but have not done intricate embroidery like you have done. I'm primarily a quilter who makes memory quilts as a business. I love fabric books ❤️ I am doing 2 journal covers with slow-stitching at the moment, using mark-making painted fabric as a base.
Hi Marion, I have only just caught up with your 100 days of stitching your pages are amazing. Your blue wren and yellow rose are such a beautiful tribute to your husband. ❤ julie Tasmania Australia.
Tasmania sounds so exotic compared to the normally cold North East of England! Although we're having a bit of a heatwave at the moment 🌞
Your book is just wonderful Marion, thank you ever so much for sharing it with us 🙂
- Jeanette
You are so welcome!
Stunning work, stitched with love and, I'm sure, many other emotions😔.
How privileged I feel to hear you describe the significance of these works of art❤
Thank you.
I really enjoy your stitch book
Thank you 😊
I am so happy and grateful that I have gound your channel. It is so amazing! ❤❤❤❤
Welcome to my channel. I'm glad you like it...
Hello from Australia 🇦🇺 new subbie , your work is stunning ❤❤❤ look forward to seeing more 😊
Hello new subbie 😅 from a very wet and rainy England! So pleased you've decided to join in...
New to your channel, I am about to start my year of stitching journal following your wonderful explanation. Just had to leave a comment here, your work is absolutely beautiful and inspiring especially your rose and blue tit. What beautiful memories they will hold. Best wishes, Geraldine
Thank you Geraldine and welcome to my channel.. I hope you continue to enjoy it 💐
Marion, what a brave video, thank you for sharing, your work is incredible and a very talented lady . I definitely will look out for your new utube video, . Have a pleasant weekend, sending soft hugs Teresa xx
Thank you Teresa. I delayed that video because I just didn't know whether I'd be able to talk though it. But in the end I just had to start and do it. I'm pleased I did. Thank you so much for your message of support.
Your great ideas help motivate me. Please keep your originality & keep it sweet & simple as you always do. Thank you, thank you.
Thank you for watching my book video. It's what started my channel off and I didn't know quite what I was doing at all...💐
Thank you for starting your channel, I’ve enjoyed all your videos. The book is just gorgeous, the rose is beautiful and the rosebuds are so lifelike. Thank you for the inspiration.
You are so welcome Dawn. Thank you so much for all of your lovely comments.
This has been a Delightful journal to watch your talent Just gorgeous 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you
I’ve been very melancholy of late and I want you to know that your videos cheer me so. Thank you, dear lady!
Oh. I'm sad to hear that Sharon. I'm pleased that you are enjoying watching my beginner videos. I already can tell I'm getting better at doing them. Thank you so much for sending me a message. I feel like I'm being invited into you home when you decide to watch something I've posted. Thank you. I hope you keep well.
@@marionsworld24 Thank you, Marion for your thoughtful kind reply. I will be better once July 12th passes. That date is the birthday of my father, of blessed memory, who passed away in September last year.
Thank you for sharing the personal and sweet inspiration for these pages and the details about the ones that were made as remembrances of your husband. I just can't help but think that heart appearing magically on the fabric for the last page was no accident, as neither was your inspiration to place the heart differently and next to the rose. He must have taken much joy in watching your creative spirit at work and continues to do so, have no doubt. 💞
Thank you Christine. He always said I lived in my own world. Hence the title of my channel. I think of him all the time.
Absolutely beautiful ❤🥰
💐
Thank you for sharing your story through your stitching. Your work is so inspiring. ❤
😊💐💕
I would love to follow along with your fabric book. 😊
Wonderful thank you.
I am late to the story of your book, but what a story Marion. Thank you so much for sharing with us. You are one very talented lady and I cannot wait to see what comes next. You are my favourite TH-cam channel by far.
That's so kind Vicki. Thank you!
Lovely video. There is something about you and your art that inspires people. I read all the comments so I know we all feel the same. There’s a lot of positive energy here. I feel it. Our garden grass has turned to hay here in Wisconsin. I’m working on a little bower of potted annuals. When I was out there today with my hands in the dirt, I thought of you. A house wren chastised me because her babies are in a nearby birdhouse. She and her mate finally got used to me being there. I got a late start on my bower tho there are pluses: clearance prices at the nursery and flowers lasting longer into the summer. Summers are so relentlessly hot here, potted plants typically look wan too soon for me. Gardening, I thought of making a smaller stitch book. My mind flew. Peace to all. 🦋
Lovely to think of you in your garden and the little wren shouting at you...😊 For a tiny bird they definitely have a huge voice! I had to look up where Wisconsin is and ended up down the rabbit hole of interesting information 😊 Great lakes, badgers, dairy farming and Green Bay being voted the best place to live in America....
The comments I've been getting have been unbelievable. I'm so pleased and thankful, but also I just didn't expect it at all. It's taken me by surprise. My sewing really kept me going since Michael passed away. He always said I lived in my own little world, which is why it's the name of my channel. I feel like I'm beginning to peek out....
@@marionsworld24 Aww, it’s lovely that you’re peeking out. Life goes on after loss, but it sure is different. 🌻
Thank you for being so brave and blessing us with your beautiful handiwork.
I really enjoy high quality work and can be a bit critical, because I also do a bit.
Please keep up the good work
Anita x
Thank you Anita. I know just what you mean 💐
You will find that your channel will become a form of social life for you and you will have a lot of followers, as your work is just beautiful. Such a refreshing video . I love your garden too. It is a treat to see your embroidery work. Crafting can help a lot in bereavement. You are very talented, not to mention modest. Blessings x
Thank you so much Mary. My sewing has really kept me going. The amount of things I've made this last year or so is unbelievable. It has been something I had to concentrate on which helped a lot even whilst it was also relaxing.
A beautiful book. Hello from Australia.
Hello Merl from the other side of the world! How amazing ☺️ Thank you for watching 🪡🧵
💙 stunning..Michael's rose❤
Thank you... I think in my small way it's my Taj Mahal..🌿 💛
Enjoy watching your videos
Thank you Greg.
Beautiful and inspiring, yellow roses are a real favourute for me. Thank ýou for sharing your story and skills x
You're welcome Lorna. 💐
You may think you are a novice at making videos but you’re so talented that it’s a joy to watch. Your book is such a treasure and wonderful memories of your life with your husband. ❤ thank you for sharing. Your garden must be beautiful going by those yellow roses 🌹
I'm afraid it's been very neglected these past couple of years. I'm hoping this year will see it blooming again 🌿
I have so enjoyed watching your videos while stitching hexagons together and subscribed as soon as a the first video I watched ended. So from Australia thank you for sharing your talent, memories and your own little part of the world with everyone.
Oh I'm so happy you've enjoyed watching Karen. I've only just started stitching hexies. Although I've made lots of quilts I somehow never fancied doing them before. A few weeks ago I got a hankering to make some and I'm sure you'll get to see them on a future video ☺️
What are you making with your hexagons?
@@marionsworld24 I’ve not completed anything yet but am close to finishing the top of my first ever hand sewn quilt made of half inch hexagons all from scraps and bits from charity shops. You should see the first ones I stitched together compared to where my stitching is now. Lol. It’s been quite the journey.
A friend suggested that I started doing them when I was recovering after an accident. I’ve always thought that English Paper Piecing was really difficult but it’s a bit of an addiction now. I haven’t even fussy cut anything! There are another four I’ve started, one is for a friend and I’m doing a Grandmothers Flower Garden for her. I’ve been collecting Kaffe Fassett fabric to do a colour wash blue/green quilt inspired by Kate at the Last Homely House for my son and his girlfriend.
I plan on donating any other quilts I make. I find stitching and not thinking about what I’m doing such a huge stress release. I’d love to take part in the Roxy’s Journal of Stitchery challenges and will one day but I felt pressure to create and wasn’t enjoying it the times I’ve started. Maybe when there is a little less stress in my life. ☺️
I've only heard of the Roxy journal since I started my channel and I've never heard of the other person.
Sewing is definitely very therapeutic. Although I've sewed since I was a child I think this last 18 months I've just been a bit obsessive about it. But it's what has kept me going and I do get such pleasure from creating things. Stitching should hopefully not cause you stress. From my point of view I end up in my own little world. 💕
Gorgeous pages ❤ Thank you for sharing, they are absolutely stunning and inspiring to a beginner 😊
Thank you.
We're all beginners at something. I hope you're enjoying your new hobby and are stitching something lovely.😊
Beautiful work, and I so happy I subbed to you, I love the dedication to your late husband.
Thank you Sylvia. We were married 43 years. He was my first boyfriend...
@@marionsworld24Hi Marion, I’ve been watching you’re videos for a couple of months and am finally getting around to watching you’re other ones. So I’m binge watching. I lost my husband of 48 years, 6 months before you lost yours. He was the best husband and papa. So your tribute to your husband really touched my heart. I’m going to make a memory book of our life together. Thank you for inspiring me with all the beautiful things you’ve made. You truly are a kind person and very talented ❤
Beautiful book - you do awesome embroidery - thank you for sharing❤️
What a lovely channel. Your videos are such a breath of fresh air…. Super simple and humble, full of nature, birds singing and your voice is also very soothing. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Your wee book is beautiful and the homage to your husband with the bird and rose brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you for those kind words. I really appreciate it. I hope you continue to like the videos I'm making.
Brilliant masterpiece! Thank you so much for sharing. ❤
Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing this!
I love the blue tit and yellow rose that you have done in memory of your husband......wonderful tribute and such detail! Thank you for sharing these last pages of your incredibly inspiring 100 day book, I continue to enjoy your podcasts and look forward to the next ones especially a tour of your craft room! 😊
Thank you so much. I wasn't sure whether I could say things about him or not, but I'm pleased I did.
I'm looking forward to filming the sewing room ☺️
Just catching up with this now. Oh how beautiful your work is.
Thank you so much. These are such special pieces of stitching. He is in my thoughts and my heart every day...
Goodness me the rose is beautiful and the bird so lifelike, wonderful pages 😊❤
This is such a treasure, I just love it, it's so inspiring.
Thank you so much!
Your work is so lovely, thank you for sharing your talent. You've inspired me to put my things together in a book also. Thank you❤
