Testing, testing

I started adding color to the first band of Dorcas Haynes, part of trying out my own color scheme.

I gave her a start in 2021, but didn’t care for the colors in the Scarlet Letter version which is the only one available to me. I did some sleuthing, and with some luck […]

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 regularly 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 kids with my wonderful husband. Thank you for spending some time at my blog!
