Hello and welcome to Mary’s Thread! Whether you found me through the Easter Blog Hop hosted by Jo or Heather’s Smalls SAL, I am so glad you came! Here is my March Small/Spring-y piece! I just barely got it done in time-literally was putting in the last stitches as Friday was ending. (I’m so sorry if you came for the […]
On vacation I rarely get anything done so I’ve been on a bit of a break. A bit. I managed to make this Mill Hill chicken. It’s not Christmas-y so I won’t use it for a tree ornament but it’s pretty cute so I think I’ll want it out year round anyway. Maybe I’ll put a magnet on it! This […]
My smalls this month are terribly out of season but at least they are done in time for the Smalls SAL! (If you are interested in visiting the other participants in this SAL, please visit Heather at Stitching Lotus!) I succeeded in finishing this little design from Victoria Sampler’s Beyond Cross Stitch Learning Collection. This is Evergreen, number 4-2, where […]
I’ve done a lot of stitching this month, all things considered, but this last week I had to take stock of where I was and finish something for the Smalls SAL hosted by Heather at Stitching Lotus. This one was the best bet for a quick finish so here it is! Bird N Blossoms by Homespun Elegance. I believe the […]
This has been such a fun and motivating SAL this year! Thank you so much, Heather, for offering us something that resulted in so much work done! I feel like I really accomplished a lot! Without further ado, here is my last small for the year, Little House Needlework’s Quaker Birds ornament, in which I changed the colors to blue […]
(updating to comment that this is my November Smalls SAL entry over at Stitching Lotus!) Well, you know I just love my Mill Hill ornament kits! And I finished off the two I had showed you last time. Thank goodness for tinier needles! I got that beading done much better! Here’s “Ye Old Santa” And the Drum from the Holiday […]
Well, it is very frustrating to have followed all the instructions and gone through a lot of effort to get it right and then things just don’t work out! I ordered the specified box from Hobby Lobby for Spring Arose and my piece is TOO BIG to fit on it. I double checked. It’s the correct box. It’s the correct […]
I finished the Prairie Schooler 2001 Santa! Yay! This one is a gift and so I will definitely be making it over again for myself. Not this year though! I finished Santa a week or so ago and today I finished Spring Arose by Blackbird Designs. This turned out to be really enjoyable and I love the color palette. I […]
For the Christmas Ornies SAL last month, the theme was blingy ornaments. I could have stayed safe and done one of my numerous very blingy Mill Hill kits. But, I have really been wanting to do the Victoria Sampler Biscornuments and this was a good excuse. They were fast to stitch up so I made 2. Here are the parts, […]
OR How Regular Stitching Has Paid Off This Month. The kids are back in school, so that means I return to my regular schedule and some time to stitch in the car waiting for the pick up. And with the routine back in place, I also end up with some time in the evenings too. Nothing is fully finished but […]
