November Smalls Check In

Hello, Smalls Stitchers, and to all my American friends, Happy Thanksgiving! I finished my BBD “Bit of Summer” pindrum stitching! Yay!

Welcome to Mary’s Thread!

I started this blog in 2016 to chronicle my stitching life. My Grandma M. taught me to cross stitch when I was 7 and I’ve had a project (or many!) going since then. I am mostly a cross stitcher who makes forays into other types of embroidery. A lifetime ago I studied French and art history but now I fit my stitching around a busy life raising 5 young kids with my wonderful husband. Thank you for spending some time at my blog!
