I am linking up for this month’s Gifted Gorgeousness blog hop with Jo of Serendipitous Stitching. I don’t usually participate in this one but I have Things To Share this time! Last month was my birthday and I got a VERY special stitching gift from my husband. It is Jewel of the Sea by Georgina Bellamy which was in the […]
Here she is! Catherine Agnes is done! Happy Dance! Isn’t she just lovely? The specialty stitches were so creative and elaborate in this one. I won’t say all of them were the most fun thing I ever stitched but they’re all so pretty! I loved the colors especially the plummy purple (Grape from Caron Waterlilies). It was fun to stitch […]
This year my goal is to stitch the “Bucket List” items out of my stash. I’ve finally gotten around to articulating that as a commitment! I guess I’m a little afraid of commitment to stitching projects as I do love to jump around and stitch what strikes me in the moment. But I’ve got a whole basket of Bucket List […]

I have to say I really enjoyed a piece that was 100% cross stitch after all the special stitch heavy projects I’ve been doing lately. It finished up so quickly too! This will be framed and go on the wall with my small samplers display. In my newly empty […]
Welcome to my post for the 2021 Easter Blog Hop hosted by Jo of Serendipitous Stitching! For this blog hop you must visit each participating blog in order to collect the letters to solve the mystery phrase. The letter you will get here at Mary’s Thread is R. I was glad my spring stitch had my letter in it. This […]
Late last year I started a lovely little project by Chartmakers called Deerfield. By the end of December I had finished almost the entire center and just made a tiny start on the border.
