November 2023 Smalls Link Up

Hello, I hope all my American friends had a great Thanksgiving last week. We did. The kids and I made 3 pies (apple, pecan, pumpkin) and the rest of our feast was tip top as well. This is not Instagram worthy food photography but maybe you’d like to see it anyway… I did not finish my small. I thought if […]

WIP Dump

In an effort to catch up and get going again, I just want to share with you all some of the stitching that has actually happened around here in spite of the lack of blogging about it… I don’t really remember when these little things got started or finished or worked on or whatever so it’s just going to be […]

Small Things

I’m just going to pretend that I’ve been blogging regularly and share a little finish I had this weekend… It’s called Small Things from The Drawn Thread. I do still need to sew on the charm. I can’t find the little brass heart charm this came with, but I do have 2 other good choices, the bow shown above, or […]

Autumn Splendor

I have a finish! It’s Autumn Splendor by With Thy Needle and Thread. This design was another coup de coeur for me, I had to buy it and stitch it right away, and I loved every moment. I believe I actually used a 32 count natural linen which was a very easy thing to stitch on and it was just […]

New Stitches, Old Stitches

The end of September and this first bit of October I have been stitching in a random starting and stopping sort of way. I haven’t done a Mill Hill kit in a while so I picked up this nice Fall themed one called Apple Basket, aiming to have a cute Mill Hill ornament for my October Small: Eventually I’d like […]

A Glitch

My blog has been down. I am sorry. I guess my service had a widespread failure. It seems to be working again. I just want to let you all know that Mary’s Thread goes on, and eventually I will post some new stitching for you!

September 2023 Smalls Check In

My Small for this month is a little Blackbird Designs project which I was lucky enough to spot in a destash group. It is an old class project that makes a little scissor box and pin cushion. Here is the stitching: The fabric is 28 count which seems very coarse compared to my other recent stitching. But it was very […]

A Detour. Oops.

Did you know there was an end of summer flood of new releases as part of an online event called Needlework Marketplace? It was just as full of wonderful designs as Nashville. There were 2 must-have charts for me. Well…probably more than 2 but 2 I bought the minute they came into the shop. First was Autumn Splendor by With […]

Sampler September 2023

For my Sampler September, I am working on the Mexican Stag Sampler from Samplers Remembered. A customer at The Attic purchased this and I fell in love with the Gumnut silks palette. Wow are they beautiful. I am stitching on the called for 40 count Weeks Straw. I started with just the bouquet and a bit of border finished last […]

End of August

*Note: I’m seeing I had several draft posts that never got published, mostly for lack of the pictures. I’ll put them up now as I can get them finished up, in the proper order I wrote them, so I can have an orderly account of the last months stitching thoughts! Since we had several days at the end of August […]
