Blue and white are my very favorite. I’m happy that you’ve chosen those beautiful fabrics for this new page. When you were 1st placing them I immediately thought Kawandi. To me the slow stitch movement is all about slowing down, being peaceful in mind and body, not rushing and allow oneself to be calm. I absolutely love your channel, Marion.😊
Hello Marion 🤗 I made both my rice bags like this, it really is so relaxing not having a plan and just picking some pieces of matching fabrics, I have a blue one and a beige goldie one, and five panels done for a pink and orange one, that I need to make a lining for. I never get tired of blues and white, I think it's my favourite,,I really love anything blue and white striped too. Happy stitching, keep cosy, we have the same dark wet days, quite miserable out there, so it's good to keep busy and not let it seep in. 🍄🌅🫠
Lovely video as always Marion ... I love the blue shades & can imagine how lovely it feels in your hands 🤗🤗🤗🤗 Oooh I want that cardigan You're wearing 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Nice to see your lovely top xxx love & hugs 😍😍😍🇦🇺😎😘😘 Waving bye bye 👋👋
Oh ! How I LOVE slow stitching! I have the same book, & think that’s what got me so interested in it too. What a lovely piece, Marion !! I love the combination of blues. Your Kwandi videos inspired me to make 2 large ones, & they are just so satisfying to do. Lately, I’ve been making the French Rose quilt pattern in potholders, as gifts, & my last one had slow stitching incorporated into it. Thanks so much for all your inspirational videos, Marion !!! I truly appreciate you so much!!! 🧵💙🪡
The blues are lovely, Marion! I was very excited to hear you talk about wanting to do a traditional Kantha, as I've been seriously thinking of doing that after my current project is complete! So nice to have someone to stitch with :)
Your videos are so very watchable (is that even a word). I always look forward to a new one & often go back to watch previously seen ones. I'm off to see a k3n one now.
Thanks Marion for a lovely New page, I've just ordered that book can't wait to read it, must say how gorgeous your cardigan is, the flowers are gorgeous, off to sort some fabric and start my page, thanks again have a great week xxxx
Hello Marion, what a lovely video - I shall listen again, while I stitch. You are such a terrific motivation for any and all variety of stitching. I love to see your intuitive placement of fabrics and stitches in this work and get a bonus when your stitching seems to auto-pilot into a pattern. My family trajectory into handwork is so very similar to yours and likewise has fallen into seeing it as either functional or decorative. We are so fortunate to be in a time when it's considered artistic to marry the two. I feel compelled to wear these wonderful, tactile cloths so I can touch them all the time. Much thanks for this video.
Lovely project as usual😍 I have tried to sew random mindful slow stitch pieces and yet I still find myself sewing leaves and flowers across a random background. It seems that I cannot be calm in my mind until there is some form that resolves itself from the abstract. So I totally get what you were saying. Thank you for all your lovely videos, wise words and inspiration x
I just want you to know that I felt exactly like you about slow stitching “mantra” when I first listened to the teaching about it. I have loved doing all kinds of stitching since I was a girl as well - learning from my grandmother and a neighbor. I love crochet, knitting, embroidery and cruel work. I also do Hardanger, sashako, traditional mending and traditional quilting. They all have given me such joy to do. I enjoy slow stitching now, but it is only one of many things I like to do and I probably add bits of all these things into my new style. My latest sewing projects are repairing my husbands quilt, and continuing to work on a repair of my daughter in laws shirt. Both of these have bits of all these styles incorporated. 😍
I'm pleased you understood what I was trying to say. I do all of it.. There shouldn't really be a difference as it's all stitching. Of course something like the crewelwork page is totally different in outcome but I feel the same way about the process of it..
Changing stitches as well as width of lines is very beautiful. I will try to find some blue shades and see if i can follow with same shade! Keep creating! ♥️🙏
Hello Marion I really enjoy watching all that you create. I am 77 so quite a bit older than you but like you was taught by my mum . She taught me to knit and sew she was self taught as her Mum died when my Mum was only seven so she did not have anyone to teach her. I know she would have enjoyed watching you too❤
Looking for to sorting some fabrics out tomorrow, not sure what colour yet ! I must say I really enjoyed the crewel work a first for me , so thankyou again Marion ❤ xx
Thank you Marion. I have always been undecided about slow stitching myself. The embroidery I tend to work on is much more traditional. I am sure if and when I give slow stitching a try I will enjoy myself but others may look at the end result as a step backwards. It's certainly different and not for everyone but I did enjoy watching, it was obvious you were having a good time. ❤😊
I definitely don't see it as a step backwards... It's just different and as I said in the video it's all just putting thread through fabric.. I don't think there's a hierarchy between knitting and crochet... they're both crafts using yarn to make something. I think it's the same with slow stitching. Two ends of the same thread perhaps?
Slow stitching, yep love doing this. I come from the other spectrum, embroidery to me was for posh people, lady’s who had time on there hands, when I was younger I crossed stitched, yep loved this. You know how it goes picked up put down many a craft but one day I came across slow stitch and I had a quilt that was falling to pieces so I cut up and did slow stitch on this well from there I’ve never looked back and slow stitch introduced me to embroidery which I know do to add to my slow stitch love finding half embroidered pieces as these I can add me to so know I have a momentoe of my embroidery around the house. Just getting into embroidery a craft I never thought I would do, but it’s fun so much fun. Thanks to your lovely channel I am learning loads and slowly bringing these wonderful new crafts into slow stitch. I agree with you I used to make Tutu’s (my girls did ballet well I could sew in the end tutu’s were fun ) aww the sewing in the machine was long and painful however when it came time to accent oh my fun so much fun the needle slowly going layers adding beading lace aww my so much fun it was this which kept me happy. Helped a friend by hand sewing beads and lace to her wedding dress talk about a ball gosh I loved doing this the end result was stunning, it was just the slowing down getting into the groove and ahh so relaxing I think it’s the act of seeing your sewing come together watching it grow and knowing your hand has created this yes hand stitching like making dough or bread is very relaxing. Thanks for another great video cant wait to see we’re this piece goes. ❤
Lovely comment Paula. It's funny how the background you come from can alter how you feel about things as simple as stitching. We most definitely weren't posh... Right down at the other end really, but there was a spirit of making running through everything. Granda had a shed for woodworking and mending chairs etc, Grandma knitting our school cardigans and Mam sewing. We're lucky these days that we can choose what we want to spend our time doing. I vote that we do it all..☺️🧵🪡🖌️🧶
Hello Marion. This piece of slow stitching has started off beautifully and I can’t see me running out of “ooohs” and “aahs” any time soon. But so much slow stitching I have seen always seems to invite just a few more stitches, just a little more embellishment, just a couple more beads etc. So, maybe, this will be one of those projects that never really has a fixed end date. And what an ongoing treat that process will be to watch. Have a great week and I’m looking forward to your next video.
@@marionsworld24 Sounds like you have been really busy. And I just know it’s going to be beautiful. So many people will, like me, be looking forward to seeing it next week. In the meantime, have lots of fun with all the crafts you turn your hand too.
Wonderful Marion. Of course we comment. You take the time to make these wonderful videos and share your knowledge, inspiration and designs with us, of course we comment. For myself it is like sitting with a friend, watching you. And I certainly understand what you mean when you say you get the same satisfaction and contentment from your neat stitching. I think, listening to k3n that is what slow stitching is about, the feeling rather than what you do
Thank you Marion for this nice episode! I'm looking forward to start on this new side. Here in Sweden we have had many sunny days this autum and now the grass is covered in frost every morning. The golden leaves is falling gently from the trees. It is a beautiful time just now. Greatings to you! 🧡🍂🌻🍁
Thank you so much Marion, you cheer me up too. My beloved cat Frank died on Monday morning, and I have been so sad, but watching you do this slow stitching really soothed my soul. Thank you so much. P.S. my late Dad used to do lots of tapestries on printed canvas. :-)
Oh I'm so sorry to hear that Su. It's awfully sad when they go. Boo is missed a lot here. I hope he didn't suffer at the end 💐 Sending you heartfelt feelings across the ether...
@@marionsworld24 thank you so much. I don’t think he really knew about it as he was purring all round us in bed about 20 minutes before. I got up and saw he was still on the bed and called him to feed him and realised he was gone! It was a terrible shock for us all - he was only 14. 😢💔
I also watch K3n and am so pleased you’ve found each other. There’s another lady on RUclips who teaches textile stitching from the Bronze Age and it’s fascinating to see the origins of your stitching. It’s so similar to your stitching. That’s your tradition that you are furthering. Her name is Sally Poynter, channel is the same name.
Between watching your show and k3n I have learned a lot and listening to you talk about the rain ,I wish we would get some here here in Texas use where I live we haven't had any for almost 3 weeks it is so dry here.glad I have my rain water containers full to be able to water my little garden and flowers
My mom to, was a seamstress . And my grandma a knitter and crocheter. Embroidery and counted cross stitch i learned from a good friend of mine, years ago. I've passed it on to both my daughters. Isn't it wonderful?
Marion,I just love your stitching and wonderful spirit,I do stitch along with you in my little shambles craft room I'm also working on and love the whole process of that too..I only wish I started it younger..haha.
I'm not doing a stitch journal (not yet anyway), but I have got a Kawandi in the project plan book! This has given me more ideas for when I get the "around to it" on that one. I'm sure I'm not the only one that waves back (to the device) when you sign off. I love stepping into Marion's World so long may you be there.🎉🎉🎉
I was attracted to slow stitch because I have failed repeatedly at embroidery. I felt like sewing was obviously not meant for me, and I didn’t know what to do with all the embroidery supplies my mom left me when she died. I wanted to use it somehow, and slow stitch seems to be the only stitching I’m capable of doing. Embroidery alienates me, I can’t do it. I have tons of failures to prove it. I have zero stitching talent, but I felt like I could slow stitch because I don’t have to remember how to do a lot of stitches and it doesn’t matter if I don’t create something beautiful or intricate or perfect. There are a lot of rules to embroidery that don’t apply to slow stitch. I feel like it allows me to be included into a group I could never be part of otherwise.
I like this message very much Kelly. I do think though that if you're enjoying your slow stitching then you are making something beautiful and you are doing embroidery and you do have stitching talent! I think anyone who is enjoying stitching with thread through fabric is automatically included. The only rule I think about is having enjoyment through making something. Happy stitching Kelly 🧵🪡💐
Ah, you always pop up when I need it the most. I've been anxiously awaiting your new video! I'm stuck creatively. No, not creatively. I have loads of great plans. I'm just paralyzed to do anything about them! Ugh. Lol. Is this a stitch book the community has been working on? Will there be another? Hope all is well with you, Ms Marion!
Hi Marion. Your work is fab whatever you turn your hand to. I so enjoy your videos. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge x did you say you had a shop?
I know what you mean about embroidery vs slow stitch. It seems to me, it's kind of a mash up/evolution over time. But for sure you were cool before hand with your mending and upcycling!!❤
Fun fact: this is very similar to japanese boro. It's a embroidery/mending method that dates back to at least the 1500s. You're right in saying the techniqué is making a come back, but it is very old. Believe it or not blue or indigo is the traditional boro color because that's all the fisherman could get. I believe sashiko was derived from boro. 💕🌞🌵😷
Blue and white are my very favorite. I’m happy that you’ve chosen those beautiful fabrics for this new page. When you were 1st placing them I immediately thought Kawandi.

Love your piecing of the blues and the straight stitches is brightening up the fabrics.🎉 Love the process so far of the new page.❤
So looking forward to seeing next’s week video just love slow stitching 🇬🇧
Gorgeous! I’m calling your beautiful work “Wild night sky.” Love it!
It is so very pleasant to spend time stitching with you chatting. Thank you again!
I really enjoyed slow stitching together
The blue fabric is so pretty.
Lovely video as always Marion ... I love the blue shades & can imagine how lovely it feels in your hands 🤗🤗🤗🤗 Oooh I want that cardigan You're wearing 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Nice to see your lovely top xxx love & hugs 😍😍😍🇦🇺😎😘😘 Waving bye bye 👋👋

Thanks Marion for a lovely New page, I've just ordered that book can't wait to read it, must say how gorgeous your cardigan is, the flowers are gorgeous, off to sort some fabric and start my page, thanks again have a great week xxxx
I love watching you slow stitch! The moving out of the needle and the sound it makes it very hypnotic and soothing. Look forward to the next time!

Slow stitching is kind of therapeutic!
Have you heard, “Sewing is my therapy and threads are my meds.” 😉🪡

23:53 you should really consider a sashiko thimble. Your stitching style really lends to it's use. It will really save your thumb joints. 💕🌞🌵😷
