Marion - Your book is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. The artistry on each page takes my breath away. You’ve created an heirloom that will be treasured forever. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. ❤
Oh, Marion, your book is just something wonderful. It is also one of the most clever ways of putting a fabric book together. You are most definitely an artist of a different caliber. Please keep creating and sharing your talent. Thank you.
What a blessing that God gives each of us a bit of His own creativity, an outlet for beauty and goodness to mirror His creation. Your gift is truly beautiful. Praise God for His goodness both in the beauty He has created for us to enjoy in nature and for giving us a little piece of it to express as well. Thanks for sharing yours with me ❤
I’m watching this lovely video a year after you created it. In it you mention having 600 subscribers… I see you now have 18.7 thousand! Absolutely well deserved, too. How fantastic when skill, creativity, industry and sheer loveliness win out!
Stunning beauty on each page!! Yes, this is an absolute heirloom to be treasured through the years. You should be very proud of your work. I am so thankful that you continue to create and craft new works all the time. You are a blessed, inspired artists with a soul that touches the whole world that discovers your channel. Every hour watching your channel is a gift!!!
Marion that is a very clever way to construct your beautiful book. I've enjoyed your episodes telling us about each page, you are a true artist. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Marion thanks for showing the construction of your book,it’s so clever and your instructions were very clear , I love your videos and look forward to what you’re planning to share with us next ❤
Yes, it looks like your channel grew very fast. It’s lovely to watch you because your are very lovely. Your delight in doing the videos is infectious. Thank you for making this video. When I was a young teen, I got stuck in an algebra class. I failed because I couldn’t imagine those invisible numbers. I did very well with practical math which included sewing and cooking. With sewing, you need geometry. With cooking, fractions. I can also do percentages because I needed to calculate sale prices. Watching you create the soft pages, I recalled the fun of sewing geometry. I could also imagine the feel of muslin (US for UK calico). I think you must of washed it, because it looked very soft. Anyway, thanks for the how-to because I needed to see how you made your stitch book. The slot and tab method is genius, and is another thing I’ll have to research. You are a fabulous teacher. Thank you!💕
Thank you so much Mara. It's amazing how maths is in everything and yet school can make it seem so dry and boring and take all the fun out of it! We all use practical maths every day I think.... Thank you for watching my videos. I've learned lots about doing them already.
The book is absolutely beautiful, but the raven! OMLord how wondrous is that!? Finding your channel a year or more in I'm going to have to look for the other episodes leading up to this point in the raven's progress. Wow! I'm just skipping around trying to catch up. I remember seeing a bit about the Viking ship in your room tour video, but I'll have to keep a watch out for any more information on that, as well. It really is Marion's World. Makes me smile every episode.
This series is so fantastic and I loved every minute of it. I have been following you for awhile and I am going back through your older videos as I enjoy all of them so much. Thank you so much for sharing your process and the meaning behind the pages.
Marion, I have truly enjoyed watching over and over to see what a talented artist you are! Thank you so much for giving me a new project idea! Love the hand stitching! I am new to that as well. God Bless and keep on stitchin'! Robin
❤ Dear Marion, your youtube channel is so unique, peaceful and magical. I love all of your works and the amazing intricate details on it. You help me so much during a serious illness and bring so much happiness into my life. Your magical world is really valuable to me and makes life easier. I thank you so much 💐
I just love your little book. And I never see people do dragons or greenmen. Just wonderful sight for our eyes. How marvelous to just look and enjoy the textures of all the pages. Great work and images. Thank you so much for sharing.
I just watched all the videos you made about your stitch book. I'm so impressed with your work your attitude and your garden. I'm in the midwest in the US. I've been stitching one thing or another for many years. Just now I'm working on a needle book for my sister and have gotten many ideas from you. Sorry to make this comment so long , but I had to tell you how wonderful your dragon, bird and rose are. I love listening to you so please continue with your videos.
Just catching up on your older videos and wow, this embroidery is amazing! I especially love the tree in the valley, the green man and that beautiful dragon! Gosh this is just so beautiful! So glad your channel came up as 'suggested'. Another lady i watch who I think you may like is Jeri Landers of Hopalong Hollow, she is also amazing and interesting. She mainly felts the most beautiful animals but is also an artist, gardener, baker and collector and user of all things vintage! Looking forward to watching many more of your videos Marion..thank you ❤
I get so excited when I see the notice for a new video because your excitement is infectious!! Also I am quarantined with the latest COVID bug going around the US- and I was so over the whole thing more than a year ago!!But I will be fighting fit for when you start the next book because I want to share the excitement and learn more. Your tutorials are pragmatic and clear-with the added touch of your years of experience. I’m dumbfounded that you sew linen garments- I love it !I didn’t remember that I had looked into Anne Woods 100 day challenge- I LOVE the look of her work but I just can’t replicate it- so I didn’t try the project. It is so evident ( to me) what page in your book that you started stitching what is in your heart and soul using her guidelines and inspiration! That is every teacher’s hope- to dream up the experience and see everyone take flight!! And now you will gather fledglings and on it goes!! I’ve watched UTube videos for 3 years now and have only commented one or two times- I decided that if you were brave enough to make them I could be brave enough to be one of your cheerleaders! Great fun for both of us! Can’t wait to see your creative space- already love all of the stones on the window ledge.
Hi! I’m in Wisconsin wondering where Covid is flaring up. You’re the second US person I’ve seen on UA-cam with Covid. Where are you? (region if you don’t feel comfortable revealing your state) I’m triple vaccinated. Were you immunized? Geez, do I have to wear a mask again? Bummer. I hope you are well soon. 🇺🇸
@@maramakesjournals2319 Gosh -I’m so sorry to alarm you about Covid- I’m in North East Indiana- my friend thinks she got it while waiting in the Indianapolis airport. She and her guest visited me- then I got it -her guest returned home and now has it. I’ve had 3 vaccines- last one was 2/21- I got Paxlovid -Rx the same day I tested positive- which was last Friday I’m almost over it symptom wise- today( Monday)- of course I’ll still quarantine and I’m 77 so still take it easy for another week - I have learned to respect the power of viruses!! I’m not sure what is going on as far as “it “going around again- I read on the CDC website that there was a new strain detected in January. I quit watching television about two years ago- so I don’t really know what’s happening- it’s for my mental health- I find it much more productive to seek out lovely U tube channels like Marion’s World!! Again- I’m so sorry to alarm you- if you have more specific questions- I’m happy to answer- especially if it might calm your concerns
Hello Diane. What a wonderful message you've sent me, thank you. Other than the fact you're poorly with Covid that is. I hope you're not too ill with it? I'm lucky that I haven't had it at all. At the beginning I was still running my gardening business so mainly worked on my own in people's gardens. They used to wave to me through their windows whilst I worked. My sister was in a bubble with my husband and myself and we didn't see anyone else. I feel as if we're going to be on an adventure together Diane... I've only just started watching other videos now... I didn't really have any interest before. I think I'm just emerging into the online world at the moment.... The stones on the window sill are actually flint tools. I learned how to knap flint and made a hand axe and scrapers as if I was in the stone age! Super interesting too... Thank you very much for being my cheerleader too!
@@dianemcgregor6412 I heard today that in-laws in Milwaukee have Covid. It must be everywhere! I’m 71 (one of my risk factors). We live in the country. I go to PT 2Xweek. They’re not requiring masks. I think we’ll be more careful to avoid proximity. Thanks for your reply. I read more nowadays and enjoy UA-cam. We just watched an Ava Gardner movie on TCM. I watch way less news than a year ago, but feel I have to know what’s happening in the world. But not too much! Peace to you.
Your book is exquisite Marion, so so clever! I love the dragon embroidered. My youngest grandson would covet that I’m sure 😊 thank you for the tutorial ☺️💕
Hi Marion, thank you for this very informative and exciting video. I loved seeing not only how you put your beautiful book together but also how you made each page from calico. I can't wait until you start the stitch along with your next book as I would love to join in. Should I make my calico book in readiness? The raven is so pretty too. You certainly keep yourself very busy. I had to laugh as in one section of your video I could hear the birds singing outside your room. At first, I thought they were at my place, so I looked out my window and I couldn't see anything then I took my laptop to the window and paused the video and realised they were coming from your video hahaha. I love everything about your videos, especially your gratitude to us all. See you on the next video 🌷
It's a male blackbird Mara... There's a nest in the garden and he comes and sings on the wall of my yard. He's gradually coming closer to me and I'm hoping he'll take food from me eventually!
Hello Helen, Don't make the pages yet. I'll explain more in a pre book video maybe next week. That male blackbird is so loud! He is getting semi-tame. He comes and sings on the yard wall when I'm outside and has come with his chick for seed to within about 2 feet of me when I'm sewing outside. I talk to him now in the hopes he'll get used to me and maybe take seed from my hand eventually... Work room next!
Marion, I have never seen a book like this one, how it is put together. I love it. Thanks for sharing the link to make it. Love the butterfly on the front cover.
I had a difficult time following the details because my mind was blown and my breath taken away at the stunning pages you showed us. Wow! You’re amazing in your artistry. Thanks. ❤
Marion - I just found you and I'm so happy to be here. Thank you for this tutorial. It was so well done and easy to follow. I live in Saint Louis, Missouri and have finally decided with our help what project to take on for the Winter season. I can picture myself hunkering down with a cup of hot tea and doing this slow stitching. Thank you. I will check out your video library and look forward to your next video.
This book is absolutely stunning. I can't get over how much detail and the care you've taken in your stitching. I've been wanting to make a sampler book for a long time, but could never work out how to put it together. Thank you for sharing such clear and helpful instructions. I can't wait to get started on my own version :)
What a fabulous video, Marion!!! I actually started watching you from your craft room tour and been bouncing out of order 😂 I just love how engaging you are with us! Makes me feel like I can get out of my basement studio and join you in your gorgeous garden 💞 I know it can be a lot to keep up on comments, so just know I’m always giving likes even if I don’t have time to say hi 👋🥰 I have a few videos up but am struggling to keep consistent as my household is “mom dependent”😂 Wonderful explanation for the book construction. I found you really easy to understand the process and appreciate you showing it 💜💜xxCindy from Ohio US
Thank you Cindy. It's lovely for me to know that there are people like you all over who are liking what I'm doing... Quite amazing really. I'm not actually doing anything different than what I've done for years. Just that now I'm filming it to show people...
Marion you are a delight to watch, and that book of yours, well it's just beautiful. The raven is looking good, bit of a punk rock thing with the needle in his head lol.
A very interesting way of putting a book together. Such a hand-stitched book is always unique but yours is especially beautiful Marion. Looking forward to seeing your stitching room/space. Definitely wouldn't show mine😂
Mine definitely goes through phases of tidiness and utter chaos! I try to tidy everything away in between projects so I start fresh again. It doesn't always work though 😊
Thank you Marion your tutorial is very helpful...looking forward to whatever you decide to do next...and I think your Raven flapped his wings just then....
😅 He's definitely getting a personality! Almost finished him. Goodness only knows where he's going to go... He ended up bigger than I expected and has quite a presence! Hopefully the finishing touches will make him able to settle somewhere without frightening anyone 🤣
Really neat. Watching with my daughter & we love it, but did get lost at 12 min in. I just learn differently so I will watch again to understand better. Lol. Love soft books and tactile stitching. Good job and thank you.
After seeing this wonderful book I can’t wait to see your next one! Please let me know if this book will be going on display anywhere locally and I’ll come to see it.
So glad I found your videos. They are lovely. You’re so talented. I’m familiar with@Ann Wood. I’ve followed her for sometime. Thank you for sharing your work. Love your garden too😊
Thank you. I only found Ann's site in January, a couple of weeks before the Stitchbook project started. I was actually researching an idea I'd had and her site came up. I'm pleased you're enjoying watching my fledgling channel.😊🪡🧵
@@marionsworld24 I have a few random pieces of stitching scattered about the place, so I thoughg I could make a blank book and use it like a scrap book to bring the oddments together. ☺
I have just found you and I am so thrilled! I think your book is absolutely beautiful. I am now going to binge watch all of your videos. You are so very talented. Thank you
Thank you so much for doing a demonstration of the fabric book. I’m a visual person so it helped a lot. Everything you do is so inspiring. I can’t wait for the sew along with your new fabric book. The raven is really stunning. Did you make the whole thing if so is there a pattern for her/him?
Thank you Trish. There's no pattern for the raven I'm afraid. I made him up as I went. But Ann Wood has the pattern for a crow on her website. I made that first and knew straight away I wanted to make a raven with outstretched wings.
Thank you Gillian. It's definitely not difficult. I'd say you have to think it through first and then it's pretty straight forward. You should make one!
What a wonderful video. It was so relaxing, I laughed at the needle stuck in the ravens head 😂I’m going to be binge watching all your other videos over the weekend. 👍🤗
Hi Marion when I saw your stitch book oh my goodness!! How beautiful! Really amazing work, but then you showed us your raven well that was it! You are amazing with your work! Thank you so much Marion I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Thanks Tracy. I've always got a few projects on the go at the same time. There's quite a choice of things at the moment. You'll probably see them in a week or so.
Thank you Marion for your lovely video. I am looking forward to making my stitch journal now. Your inspiration is ace, and I love walking with you around your magical garden. Thank you once again take care xx❤
Marion I think you are such an amazing creator. I love making things too but you inspire me to try things I never would have thought about. Thank you ever so much for sharing your world ,it is a beautiful place ❤
The pages are spectacular and I am amazed at the construction of your book! I’ve spent hours assembling fabric books that don’t lie flat or look as beautiful, so thank you!
Enjoyed seeing your lovely stitched book again and then showing how it was constructed. Your work is beautiful. I was also interested in the Norwegian long ship in your craft room. I’ve been to Norway and loved being there. Maybe when you have time you could tell us something about your long ship. Thank you Marion 😊❤️
Hello Sheila. When I video my sewing room later this week you'll hear about my longship. I absolutely loved making it. Complete with Eric the Viking and his raven banner!
@@marionsworld24 oh that had me smiling. I look forward to meeting Eric, his raven and longship. I though you had probably made it but didn’t say like to presume. Thank you Marion.
That is so beautiful. So much beautiful work. Your work reminds me of Eleanor Birchell Hughes. She is a textile artist and loves a lot of these same things you are doing.
That is a very unique way to put a fabric book together. I love it! I saved this video in my library so I could watch it again and again. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe. Hugs ❤
Adding the extra fabric to two of the page sets was a brilliant innovation. My book is mostly assembled, and I won’t undo it at this point, but you’ve shown how to make the next book align better. Thanks very much!
Hello Marian I have just been lucky enough to find you on u tube WOW your work is incredible I am now one of your subscribers exited learn more THANKYOU ❤❤
😀I have kind of started with that 100 days for this year with Ann, but I have not so far made a start as far as needle and thread onto material 😞I will organise myself and make each page up as I can and then get them together in a book.
Dear Marion, it’s me Trish here.. it’s late on April 27, 2024, just a few days shy of Beltane and May Day.. I’m re-watching some of your earlier and most lovely and amazing videos, to pass the time in my evenings here, when the streaming is less than exciting and I’d rather see you and your stitching. 🧵 😅 you are so lovely and precious.. sending love!! ❤️
Hello Marion, Ive not tried the tab and slot method of handmade books. Good idea. Another straight forward tutorial on the method and embroidery is a very relaxing pastime and looks well presented in book form. I just need to brush up on my embroidery and find out my threads. Looking forward to what you are going to do for your new book. xx
I hadn't even heard of a fabric book. So it's the only method I've done. It will be interesting to explore new ideas too, even though it is a very satisfying way to put the pages together.
Marion - Your book is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. The artistry on each page takes my breath away. You’ve created an heirloom that will be treasured forever. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. ❤
Thank you so much Darlene. I'm pleased you enjoyed watching it.☺️
I agree! I’m just now finding this channel and I’m blown away!!
Beautiful book construction. Love embroderies. I’ll try to starting one this year. 💕😊🌸
Oh, Marion, your book is just something wonderful. It is also one of the most clever ways of putting a fabric book together. You are most definitely an artist of a different caliber. Please keep creating and sharing your talent. Thank you.
💐
What a blessing that God gives each of us a bit of His own creativity, an outlet for beauty and goodness to mirror His creation. Your gift is truly beautiful.

Very true and beautifully stated ❤
I've made several of these books designed by Anne Woods. I can't believe your embroidery. It's amazing. You are truly an all star embroiderer.
Thanks Kathy. I did try and join in at the start of the year again, but this channel took up so much of my time it sort of went by the wayside..
Thank you for allowing me into your world. I am always mesmerised by your creativity and your joy in sharing
your knowledge. I am in Western Australia
What a really clever technique. The pages are absolutely beautiful.
Marion that is a very clever way to construct your beautiful book. I've enjoyed your episodes telling us about each page, you are a true artist. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Melinda 💐

Marion - I just found you and I'm so happy to be here. Thank you for this tutorial. It was so well done and easy to follow. I live in Saint Louis, Missouri and have finally decided with our help what project to take on for the Winter season. I can picture myself hunkering down with a cup of hot tea and doing this slow stitching. Thank you. I will check out your video library and look forward to your next video.
Thank you so much..and welcome to my channel too ☺️💐🌿
This book is absolutely stunning. I can't get over how much detail and the care you've taken in your stitching. I've been wanting to make a sampler book for a long time, but could never work out how to put it together. Thank you for sharing such clear and helpful instructions. I can't wait to get started on my own version :)
Brilliant ☺️👍
I adore your raven! You are so creative, and now I want one, too! 😀
😊🐦⬛
Wauw! What a piece of work. SO lovely 😊❤
Amazing idea!!! Have to watch it more than twice to remember how to do it😃
☺️
Wow it is amazing! LOVE the dragon!
What a fabulous video, Marion!!! I actually started watching you from your craft room tour and been bouncing out of order 😂 I just love how engaging you are with us! Makes me feel like I can get out of my basement studio and join you in your gorgeous garden 💞 I know it can be a lot to keep up on comments, so just know I’m always giving likes even if I don’t have time to say hi 👋🥰 I have a few videos up but am struggling to keep consistent as my household is “mom dependent”😂
Wonderful explanation for the book construction. I found you really easy to understand the process and appreciate you showing it 💜💜xxCindy from Ohio US
Thank you Cindy. It's lovely for me to know that there are people like you all over who are liking what I'm doing... Quite amazing really. I'm not actually doing anything different than what I've done for years. Just that now I'm filming it to show people...
Thanks so much Marion, I haven’t seen this type of construction before it’s ingenious! Thanks for a sharing your lovely project. 🪡🧵
You are so welcome Sally.
How clever Marion. The tucking in is a surprise, so lovely your work. My fave is the dragon, his colors and eye are stunning👍so talented are you🤗🕊️
Thank you Yvonne. I really did love bringing her to life!
Marion you are a delight to watch, and that book of yours, well it's just beautiful. The raven is looking good, bit of a punk rock thing with the needle in his head lol.
😅
What a beautiful book 🥰
Hi Marion I’m forwarding your brilliant channel to all my crafty friends! Jen x
That's brilliant Jen. I hope they like it.b
Thank you very much for that!😊
Would love to see your garden.
I'll keep putting bits of it in when I'm filming outside.
A very interesting way of putting a book together. Such a hand-stitched book is always unique but yours is especially beautiful Marion. Looking forward to seeing your stitching room/space. Definitely wouldn't show mine😂
Mine definitely goes through phases of tidiness and utter chaos! I try to tidy everything away in between projects so I start fresh again. It doesn't always work though 😊
Thank you Marion your tutorial is very helpful...looking forward to whatever you decide to do next...and I think your Raven flapped his wings just then....
😅 He's definitely getting a personality! Almost finished him. Goodness only knows where he's going to go... He ended up bigger than I expected and has quite a presence!
Hopefully the finishing touches will make him able to settle somewhere without frightening anyone 🤣
Really neat. Watching with my daughter & we love it, but did get lost at 12 min in. I just learn differently so I will watch again to understand better. Lol. Love soft books and tactile stitching. Good job and thank you.
Very clever construction. I did one of Ann's Scrap Swops, but have not one or her 100days....your intricate designs are amazing.
I haven't heard about a swap. I only just found her site before the stitchbook project started. I'm pleased you liked mine Cinzia.
After seeing this wonderful book I can’t wait to see your next one! Please let me know if this book will be going on display anywhere locally and I’ll come to see it.
I don't know where I'd display it Susan.... Whereabouts are you? Do you live near Durham?
So glad I found your videos. They are lovely. You’re so talented. I’m familiar with@Ann Wood. I’ve followed her for sometime. Thank you for sharing your work. Love your garden too😊
Thank you. I only found Ann's site in January, a couple of weeks before the Stitchbook project started. I was actually researching an idea I'd had and her site came up.
I'm pleased you're enjoying watching my fledgling channel.😊🪡🧵
Beautifully made!
What an art work! Beautiful an so creative! Extraordinaire! You are an inspiration. Thank you!
💐
Thank you, Marion. This is great. I think I'll have a go myself. ☺
You'll definitely have to do it!
@@marionsworld24 I have a few random pieces of stitching scattered about the place, so I thoughg I could make a blank book and use it like a scrap book to bring the oddments together. ☺
Omg!! That’s ingenious!
You’re such a sweet sweet lady and looking forward to stitching with you. Xx
That's wonderful Melinda. Thank you for wanting to join in with me...
Marion this is wonderful. You really should be giving courses. I'd come! Steph
I've been thinking about it 🤔🧵🪡
I am so looking forward to the next book!
I hope I don't disappoint you!
Your design and work are simply beautiful ❣️
I have only just come across you and I’m stunned ! Your book is beautiful and I am going to go back to watch all your other videos ❤😊
I have just found you and I am so thrilled! I think your book is absolutely beautiful. I am now going to binge watch all of your videos. You are so very talented. Thank you
Welcome to my channel Ann 😊 I'm happy you're here 🪡🧵
Absolutely Adorable ❤️ I just Love it 🎉
👍
Brilliant. Thank you for sharing this system of putting the stitch book pages together. You made it very easy to understand.
Glad it was helpful.
Thank you so much for doing a demonstration of the fabric book. I’m a visual person so it helped a lot. Everything you do is so inspiring. I can’t wait for the sew along with your new fabric book. The raven is really stunning. Did you make the whole thing if so is there a pattern for her/him?
Thank you Trish. There's no pattern for the raven I'm afraid. I made him up as I went. But Ann Wood has the pattern for a crow on her website. I made that first and knew straight away I wanted to make a raven with outstretched wings.
Thank you for this tutorial. Awesome. You’re great
What a stunning book and the way you've put it together looks so easy x
Thank you Gillian. It's definitely not difficult. I'd say you have to think it through first and then it's pretty straight forward. You should make one!
Great technique for paper as well as fabric
I think the method was first used for a paper book before it was used for fabric...
Very beautiful 💚💙💜
Thank you for such good instructions on book. I like your book the best.
Thanks Julie..
This is by far the best i've seen. Your work is so beautiful. I need to make that dragon and the tree etc. thank you
☺️👍💐
You are the BEST!!!💜🖤💜❣❣❣
💐
That is so beautiful. Along with the lovely blackbird singing in the background, pure magic.
Your book is so beautiful
Thank you Christine..
Thank you Marion.
Oh wow, your book is so lovely and the bird singing in the background was beautiful.
It's a blackbird that lives in the garden.. He has the most beautiful song 🐦⬛
What a wonderful video. It was so relaxing, I laughed at the needle stuck in the ravens head 😂I’m going to be binge watching all your other videos over the weekend. 👍🤗
I love how the pages go together, the journal is beautiful!💜⛟💜⛟💜
Hi Marion when I saw your stitch book oh my goodness!! How beautiful! Really amazing work, but then you showed us your raven well that was it! You are amazing with your work! Thank you so much Marion I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Thanks Tracy. I've always got a few projects on the go at the same time. There's quite a choice of things at the moment. You'll probably see them in a week or so.
@@marionsworld24 Sounds Wonderful Marion ! Look forward to it. 😊
Thank you Marion for your lovely video. I am looking forward to making my stitch journal now. Your inspiration is ace, and I love walking with you around your magical garden. Thank you once again take care xx❤
💐👍
Marion I think you are such an amazing creator. I love making things too but you inspire me to try things I never would have thought about. Thank you ever so much for sharing your world ,it is a beautiful place ❤
Thank you for your kind message ☺️💐
I enjoy being apart of Marion’s beautiful world! Thank U😊❤
Hello 👋🏻 from Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 Love this technique - your work is beautiful 😊
Thanks and welcome to my channel.
Oh Wow...I just saw the yellow rose and the bird opposite...absolutely stunning...exquisite workmanship ❤
💐🪡🧵
Thank you for showing how to do this great journal for stitching
You are so welcome Barbara!
You're most welcome ☺️
Maron, I love your videos and explanations. I would love to do a stitch along with you. You are amazing!
Thanks Debra.
This is beautiful Marion. Love the way you have put it together, so I am going to do mine this way. Thank you so much for sharing.
You're welcome Nancy. You can find more information on Ann's website too.
The pages are spectacular and I am amazed at the construction of your book! I’ve spent hours assembling fabric books that don’t lie flat or look as beautiful, so thank you!
👍
What a terrific construction idea. Thank you. Also thank you for crediting your source.
😊
Enjoyed seeing your lovely stitched book again and then showing how it was constructed. Your work is beautiful. I was also interested in the Norwegian long ship in your craft room. I’ve been to Norway and loved being there. Maybe when you have time you could tell us something about your long ship. Thank you Marion 😊❤️
Hello Sheila. When I video my sewing room later this week you'll hear about my longship. I absolutely loved making it. Complete with Eric the Viking and his raven banner!
@@marionsworld24 oh that had me smiling. I look forward to meeting Eric, his raven and longship. I though you had probably made it but didn’t say like to presume. Thank you Marion.
What a fabulous idea..xx
☺️
That is so beautiful. So much beautiful work. Your work reminds me of Eleanor Birchell Hughes. She is a textile artist and loves a lot of these same things you are doing.
I'll go and look her up!
That is a very unique way to put a fabric book together. I love it! I saved this video in my library so I could watch it again and again. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe. Hugs ❤
I'm pleased you liked it. Thank you for your message.
Adding the extra fabric to two of the page sets was a brilliant innovation. My book is mostly assembled, and I won’t undo it at this point, but you’ve shown how to make the next book align better. Thanks very much!
You're most welcome Judith...
This is amazing! Love how it all comes together!!
It was a lovely moment when it all was a book for the first time!
Hello Marian I have just been lucky enough to find you on u tube WOW your work is incredible I am now one of your subscribers exited learn more THANKYOU ❤❤
Welcome along 💐🪡🧵
What a BEAUTIFUL book!!! I am so amazed at all your images. Oh my word, what gorgeous work! Thank you for sharing.🥰
💐🧵🪡😊
Hello Marion, I'm new to your channel. What an inspiration you are and you do amazing art. Thank you
Welcome to my channel...and thank you very much 💐
The green man is beautiful Marion
💕
Your book and your Raven are both AMAZING! 💖💖💖
I also love your Viking ship.
New subbie 💖
Welcome new subbie!☺️ Glad you like them ..💐
😀I have kind of started with that 100 days for this year with Ann, but I have not so far made a start as far as needle and thread onto material 😞I will organise myself and make each page up as I can and then get them together in a book.
If you're in Stitchclub look out for me in there. I'm posting my pages every day. 😊
Dear Marion, it’s me Trish here.. it’s late on April 27, 2024, just a few days shy of Beltane and May Day.. I’m re-watching some of your earlier and most lovely and amazing videos, to pass the time in my evenings here, when the streaming is less than exciting and I’d rather see you and your stitching. 🧵 😅 you are so lovely and precious.. sending love!! ❤️
Hello Trish. Thanks so much for sending me such a lovely message 💐😊
Hello Marion, Ive not tried the tab and slot method of handmade books. Good idea. Another straight forward tutorial on the method and embroidery is a very relaxing pastime and looks well presented in book form. I just need to brush up on my embroidery and find out my threads. Looking forward to what you are going to do for your new book. xx
I hadn't even heard of a fabric book. So it's the only method I've done. It will be interesting to explore new ideas too, even though it is a very satisfying way to put the pages together.
