Marion, I could listen to you forever. I have the idea to play your videos at night so I'll have sweet dreams of creativity. Your handwork is supreme and I love that you walk the walk - thank you.
Marion, I love the way you added the beach finds. Oh, and what a great idea using the stick and leather to make your closure. My mother worked the way you do: finding unique ways to solve problems. Joy comes by watching you and learning so much. THANK YOU! ❤❤❤❤
I loved your stories about finding materials to use for things. I was thrilled to hear you could show us rug hooking. I have all the supplies but have never done the rug hooking! I also am excited to make a needle book because I 've never had one. Your videos are fantastic. Thank you for all that you do! Amy P. in Ohio
I've never been so inspired as I have with your videos. Something about the way you present your ideas and approach each new project with such simple joy and appreciation for the materials at hand. Each new video is a gift. (I've never had a needle book - I think this will be my next project. I always have several things on the go.) Thank you Marion. 💚
I love everything about your videos,you inspire me with every one. You also make me feel less mad about my hoard of stuff! I have lots of little treasures that other people would think of as trash and it makes me sad that they will be tossed out when I’m gone, but if I put them into a piece of work maybe they will be more appreciated. I would love to see your stair carpet . 😊❤
Hi Marion, your needlebook looks so interesting with all the different stitches and textures! Which has given me an idea for all my shell collection that I find on the beach here where I live. Thank You for sharing.
I’m so happy listening to you as you create. The washer looks like a fisherman’s net. I can hardly wait for part 2 of the needle book. Yes please on the rug hooking!!!❤❤❤
So lovely I have to say you are very good at teaching. The way you showed how to add the bits of pottery was so clear and just makes me want to get started on trying for myself ❤
So Beautiful!! Absolutely love that you included your beach finds and how you stitched them onto the fabric is genius!! So looking forward to your second half to see the rest of your stitching and how you make it into a needle book😊😊. Thank You for this video!😋🤗🫶🏻🫶🏻
You're welcome Brenda. I absolutely love my new needle book. My needs have changed from when I made my first one. This new one is larger but holds all the things I use almost every day. It's so much more practical and I love it 💕🪡🧵
I’d love you to do hookey Matt. I also sat watching my grandmother making these mats. Such happy memories of winter months. Would love to see yous that you recently completed xx
As always, so inspiring and I thoroughly enjoy listening to your life stories. Please do consider doing a rug project, if that fits into your busy schedule. Thank you for the joyful creativity you share!
I go with a family member for their dialysis ... And it's Marions World which keeps me happy and inspired each week! I really enjoy listening to you, your ideas and thoughts as you stitch along. Feel more inpired and confident to experiment with my own work! Thank you!
I've felt since watching your first video that you're some kind of kindred sister on another continent! Now I learn that you've collected blankets to hook a stair runner carpet!! I've done the exact same thing 😅 Rug hooking is my main creative handwork. I would love to see you do some hooking sometime. I wish our south Texas beaches had beautiful things to collect. We have mainly oil globs from offshore drilling, sea weed and jellyfish...yucky! Guess I need to come to England! ❤❤❤
Love how you stitch your bits and bobs on. It's the first time I've seen the button hole stitch to finish it off. Thanks for sharing this method. ❤ Your work is lovely. x
Love it! I have a cookie jar full of beach glass and pottery pieces so beautifully polished by the sea. Gathered with my grandchildren and on holidays with my husband it is actually a jar full of memories. Thank you so much for sharing how to incorporate little finds into my slow stitching. You are a treasure. PS, if you would like some sea glass please let me know. Hugs and blessings, 🤗❤️🇨🇦
@@marionsworld24 Most of my sea glass is from the Pacific Ocean off the coast of British Columbia. A bit from the Atlantic Ocean off Nova Scotia and a wee bit from the Gulf of Mexico. Beach combing has always been a passion of mine and am always intrigued when I find bits of pottery. Where has it come from? I have found some with Asian maker’s marks which I can imagine an entire history for in my dreams. The most fun bit of pottery I found was a cream coloured piece with FRED spelt out in blue. I was walking with my brother-in-law, Fred. He now has it. Anyways, I would like to thank you wholeheartedly for sharing a bit of Marion’s World with me. Hugs and blessings, 🤗❤️🇨🇦
Delightful as ever 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 Your enthusiasm is so lovely xxxxxxxxxxxxx I remember as a little girl,finding & collecting little bits of broken crockery ........ how I wish I still had them 😊😊
Loved the stories as well as the stitching on the book. Can't wait to see the inside. Your pottery sea finds look very much like the china pottery found along old railroad tracks. They used very pretty china and when a piece cracked or broke they through it out the window. As always, looking forward to the next video.
I so enjoy your process in developing the needle book. Very peaceful & creative vs so many instructors who demand exact step by step precision. Your technique shows how to trust one's creativity. ❤🎉
Lovely stitching and watching you make your needle book, Marion, I would love to see your bookwork for your carpet and all the blankets that you have brought over the years. If there’s interest out there may be you could cut them up and sell them in your shop. I’m sure people would love to have something like that for their stitching that’s come from you.
Marion, I really appreciate the care and thoughtful consideration you give each part of your projects. I never have been drawn to what people refer to as "junk journals" since they just seem to be a bunch of trashy bits thrown together. Your work shows planning and skill. Thank you for sharing!
You are such a sweetheart Marion. I love listening, watching, hearing your voice and the excitement for your upcoming projects. I collected some beach items I will stitch onto some project ideas that are swimming around in my head once I decide how and what....and will think of you as it was from this tutorial that has so inspired me to sew these found objects onto cloth. I'm a subscriber for life to your channel - thankyou and take care wonderful creative soul.
This video is so beautiful to watch as you auditioned each small piece of fabricthat held some meaning to you. I love the pink stripe background piece to begin with. Thank you Marion.
Love your needle book and so clever stitching your beach finds on like that, something I’d like to try as it looks beautiful. I’d be very interested in seeing some rug making on your channel in the future 😊although we have a terrible moth problem in our area down south so having to not bring anything woollen home now. Thanks for another lovely visit with you!
Another lovely end of my Sunday, in the company of Marion and her great creations. I wanted a needlebook for so long and you inspired me to give it a go. Yours is turning out lovely. The beach finds are truly treasures. Would love to see the carpet you made ❤❤
Marion thank you yet again, what a pleasure to listen to and get some odd glances as I went about some household chores, anticipating when I could sit and watch as I do some of my own stitching. I hope you have a fantastic week, from Cathy in Brisbane Australia
That was incredibly fun! I am a crafty, creative person who has mended before, but wouldn't consider myself a "stitcher," per se. What you've done here is so lovely and spontaneous - I'm going to jump in with both feet! Thank you.
Hi Marion.....wonderful to watch you create your new needle book with such precious finds from the beach.... everything is coming together so well.... thank you for showing us.....🐚🐚🐚
So enjoyed listening to you and watching you begin working on your needle book. Loved hearing you talk about your wool rug. Kate at the Last Homely House RUclips channel made one of these in the last few years and talked the same about going around to the charity shops collecting all the wool jumpers, etc. that she could find. Then she dyed the cloth and made a rug on her "hookie" (?) frame also!
Love the lesson on stitching the pottery pieces down to stay and still see the beautiful patterns. I can’t wait to see the development of your needle book! 😊
Watching this video is just what I needed this Sunday morning. Love the pieces of green wool and rust dyed fabric. Laughed at you collecting all those old wool blankets. I have so many pieces in my fabric room that I've "rescued" from thrift stores.😉😉
Hello Marion, your needle case is delightful. Funnily enough, I have been thinking about making a new one myself - so now I have no excuses. My favourite needle case (and I have a few) was given to me about 40 years ago. I never met the lady who made it for me. She was the mother of one of my clients at the time and was in her 80s then. But she must have been a lovely person to do something so kind for a complete stranger. The cover is beautiful needlepoint and feels so “nice” in the hand. But age is now telling on it so I think it is time it retired for a well earned rest. I’m looking forward to seeing the next stage of yours. In the meantime, have a great week.
Thank you - beautiful work. It helps so much to see your stitching, which looks fantastic. I tend to get to piddly particular about it and you're helping me to loosen up and enjoy. I can't wait to see your closure and how it all comes out. :-)
Marion, such a joy to see you and your creations. I recently had made a needle holder but now I feel the need to make a super duper one like yours! Thank you so much for your inspiration! Blessed be.
Thank you Marion for your video. I have often thought about a needle book but they had all been small pieces of work and I could not think how best to incorporate the needle cases I have. So excited to see this one develop and finally get mine out of a tin I keep them in. I love the beach pottery and how you managed to secure them to the piece. As always a lovely relaxing, creative and peaceful visit.
I was so excited to see how you attached the beach finds! I have many, that are destined for a wall hanging, and this gave me so many ideas. Thank you!! I can’t wait to see the finish next week!
Thank you for the practical and thorough addition considerations, along with personalized decoration. You’ve given good ideas for a more expanded needle book. Looking forward to seeing the inside of the book.
I’m happy that you are making a needlebook and look forward to the next video. Yes, please do a rug hooking video. My primary craft right now is rug hooking with my hand dyed and handspun yarn. So much fun and very satisfying!
Mostly I hook pictorial mats to hang on the wall and/or stitch into cushions. I have been hooking mats of the wildlife (and flowers) I have seen in my yard. So far I have hooked robins, a blue jay, an owl and just finishing a crow. I have a couple of floor rug ideas in my head and a huge stash of handspun yarn to use because spinning is my therapy and I find it very comforting. I spin a four ply cable yarn that is very durable and dye mostly in a haphazard fashion. I really love you videos! I sent you a link or something on Instagram. ❤️
Oh Marion your little needle book is looking so lovely already, adding the beach finds is such a great idea and makes your book even more special and of course so unique. Love your videos
Im loving this! Can't wait until next week to see it all come together. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. And YES! I would enjoy seeing some of your carpet making....and those beautiful blankets you spoke of.
I think a rug hooking 'clippy mat' video would be a wonderful thing - it would certainly highlight the traditional crafts of working class northeasterners particularly within mining communities as it does not receive much attention even though it is very simple to do and there are still people like your self who remember when it was widely done ... really looking forward to a video about that when you can get round to it 🥳🧶🧶🧵🧵
I really enjoyed watching the cover of the book come together and the inclusion of the pieces of pottery and the metal ring was fascinating. Thank you for sharing your wool blanket collecting memory, that was fab.. I look forward to you showing some of those treasures to us one day. ❤
How lovely… now who doesn’t need a needle book and one as lovely and creative as that… but having to wait till next Sunday for part 2… well that’s just a tease indeed!😉🤣… tfs
Marion, placing the pieces on is so much fun. Sometimes before I pin, I take a picture with my phone in case I mess it up and can't remember how it was. Your stick closure...genius! I'm going to do that too!
This is wonderful! I would love to see the carpets you made - you've definitely piqued my interest. I live in the south of the US, so not much wool around here due the heat and humidity. I'm very curious how you made the carpets and what they look like. ☺Thank you for sharing your lovely needlebook project - a delight to watch.
I was hoping you would be doing a needle book….and such a lovely one. The slow stitched patch cover. I love how you stitched on your special findings. I will start my cover and look forward to part two. 💖💖💖
I’ve been working on four needle book kits for some months. (Three sisters and a daughter.) Knowing myself, i needed help. Plus, i don’t have a huge supply of fabrics. I love how you work and work things out! With these smaller projects, i think more stitching is always the way to go. More is more, sometimes!❤
Dearest Marion. I just like to inform you that I recommended your channel on my own (tiny) youtube channel because you are one my most favourite needle workers out there, you are sweet, honest and very gifted. I hope you don't mind. Thank you for sharing "yourself" with the world! Sending love and appreciation!❤ Nadja Lady Paper Moon
What a fun video! Thanks for your share! Those pieces on your little needle book will be enjoyed every day by you - what a great sense of peace and purpose! Love it!
Once again such a beautiful project🫶🏻🤗. I love your story about the rug and the beautiful wool blankets. I wonder if you one day would show some of them to us🤗. I would love to see them 🌺🌸🫶🏻🥰
I love listening to your videos so relaxing and enjoyable. 😍 this was delightful and has given me a great idea for some special stones I found. Thanks for having this wonderful RUclips channel. Take care 🇨🇦
Hi Marion, this one really dingged my bell, I have done 2 sides of my rice bag, and I was nodding away when you were saying how hard it is to pick the fabrics and the placement , I finally just started to stitch and then it seemed to work. I love that you added some of the beach finds, so funny about the horses legs 😁, I did the stacked running stitch before, but it shrank so much, I couldn't use it for my book cover lining, so it's waiting for another project 😊 I would love to see the latching, such a great story about all the blankets and your mum and Nan too. Can't wait to see the closure and the finished book next Sunday.see you Wednesday, take care 🤗🌈🌱
Lovely idea, the needle book. I still use my mother's which she made in her twenties it's in a furm of a bell with various stitching all around each page. When I heard you explain that you wish to incorporate so many different things in it, I thought that's it. That is how I want mine with mum s bell in it with my old needle tubes , extra needles, embroidery needles, the whole lot of little things that one might need to finish a project. Fantastic. Thanks Marion. I am interested in what you where talking about old wool blankets. I too have some. I used a couple of battered blankets instead of batting for my very first quilt I made out of one pair of linen trousers, 2 skirts and, a piece of thick cotton given to me by my mother in law. I obviously had to hand quilt because it was too thick for my machine. Love your work and imagination imagination.
I have used blankets as batting as well. It's how things would have been done originally I think. It's taken me a while to get started with the needle book because I knew I had to have something that was practical and stored more than just the needles. It's ended up just perfect!🪡🧵😊
I do stitch on rusty rings and things that can be couched but chunkier things like that pottery shard, I love to see on others work but can't get it to look right myself. I did a workshop with Alice Fox several years ago, stitching with found objects and even under her expert guidance I couldn't get on with it. 😂 Guess we can't all be good at everything 😉❤️ ps I have seen your email and am giving it some thought, will get back to you soon. 😊
I’ve been sewing needle books in my mind for years. Maybe this will finally move me to pick up a needle and thread 🪡 🧵 I look forward to the second part of this project. Thank you so much. Marion’s World is a gift to us all.❤❤❤
Gorgeous Marion. I am learning so much from you an$ look forward to each time you are posting. I am following along with the stitch journal and I am totally amazed at how it is turning out. It is far from perfect but I love it.

I do. I've been having a lot of pain and if I wake up in the night and can't sleep I turn her on and listen to her.
Let us know if it works. I could use more creativity, too!
Well thank you too Ann
So could I
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Loved watching this and I’m excited for part 2 ❤

I'd love to see your rug too!
Myself, as well! I'd like to add rug making to my list of crafting!
You're such a delight; you brighten up my day and my stitching!!
I love everything about your videos,you inspire me with every one. You also make me feel less mad about my hoard of stuff! I have lots of little treasures that other people would think of as trash and it makes me sad that they will be tossed out when I’m gone, but if I put them into a piece of work maybe they will be more appreciated. I would love to see your stair carpet . 😊❤

Hi Marion, your needlebook looks so interesting with all the different stitches and textures! Which has given me an idea for all my shell collection that I find on the beach here where I live. Thank You for sharing.
Sounds good Tracy
Thank you Marian I have just found your channel and I feel really inspired and I can’t wait for the next episode.
Beautiful Marion😊
I’m so happy listening to you as you create. The washer looks like a fisherman’s net. I can hardly wait for part 2 of the needle book. Yes please on the rug hooking!!!❤❤❤
Yes.. it does 😄
So lovely I have to say you are very good at teaching. The way you showed how to add the bits of pottery was so clear and just makes me want to get started on trying for myself ❤
You'll have to do it...🪡🧵😊

Well I've had so many comments I think I will have to do a video about it... As if I need yet another project though 🤔 but I have the perfect idea 😅
I would love to see these too!
A needle book, such a lovely surprise. Beautiful creative work Marion.
This is a wonderful video, you are such an inspiration. I find myself eagerly waiting for Sunday and Wednesday of each week.
💐
This is one fabulous needlebook!
Marion, you are such an inspiration! Can't wait for the second part!

That's great. I'm happy you find my videos helpful 😊
Love it. So much inspiration. Have some sea glass and garden treasures that might work really well for this technique. Thank you xx
Omygosh, finally a way to display the bowls of beach jewelry i have collected for years 😅thank you Mariam
Oops Marion
I'm pleased you found it helpful Mary. They're really stitched on securely 😊
It is so interesting to watch you put something together. Love watching you work.

You make stitching interesting. I really enjoyed this segment. Thank you, Marion.
Thanks Margaret
Love how you stitch your bits and bobs on. It's the first time I've seen the button hole stitch to finish it off. Thanks for sharing this method. ❤ Your work is lovely. x

I spin a four ply cable yarn that is very durable and dye mostly in a haphazard fashion. I really love you videos! I sent you a link or something on Instagram. ❤️
Oh Marion your little needle book is looking so lovely already, adding the beach finds is such a great idea and makes your book even more special and of course so unique. Love your videos
Im loving this! Can't wait until next week to see it all come together. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. And YES! I would enjoy seeing some of your carpet making....and those beautiful blankets you spoke of.
👍
I think a rug hooking 'clippy mat' video would be a wonderful thing - it would certainly highlight the traditional crafts of working class northeasterners particularly within mining communities as it does not receive much attention even though it is very simple to do and there are still people like your self who remember when it was widely done ... really looking forward to a video about that when you can get round to it 🥳🧶🧶🧵🧵
I've already got an idea percolating 😊
My Dad was down the pit from 14 years old....
I really enjoyed watching the cover of the book come together and the inclusion of the pieces of pottery and the metal ring was fascinating. Thank you for sharing your wool blanket collecting memory, that was fab.. I look forward to you showing some of those treasures to us one day. ❤
How lovely… now who doesn’t need a needle book and one as lovely and creative as that… but having to wait till next Sunday for part 2… well that’s just a tease indeed!😉🤣… tfs
😂
I would love to see your carpet made from the wool blankets!!
👍
Marion, placing the pieces on is so much fun. Sometimes before I pin, I take a picture with my phone in case I mess it up and can't remember how it was.
Your stick closure...genius! I'm going to do that too!
Fantastic!👍🧵🪡
Beautiful work, Marion! Thank you for sharing with us.
11k followers 😊 well done, I can't wait to see this needlecase finished ❤
😊
This is wonderful! I would love to see the carpets you made - you've definitely piqued my interest. I live in the south of the US, so not much wool around here due the heat and humidity. I'm very curious how you made the carpets and what they look like. ☺Thank you for sharing your lovely needlebook project - a delight to watch.
I would to see you making a rug Marion, I love everything you do xxxx
I was hoping you would be doing a needle book….and such a lovely one. The slow stitched patch cover. I love how you stitched on your special findings. I will start my cover and look forward to part two. 💖💖💖
I'm so in aww of you x
I think there's plenty others like me... stitching away.. but thank you anyway 💐😊
I’ve been working on four needle book kits for some months. (Three sisters and a daughter.) Knowing myself, i needed help. Plus, i don’t have a huge supply of fabrics. I love how you work and work things out! With these smaller projects, i think more stitching is always the way to go. More is more, sometimes!❤
🪡🧵😅
Dearest Marion.
I just like to inform you that I recommended your channel on my own (tiny) youtube channel because you are one my most favourite needle workers out there, you are sweet, honest and very gifted. I hope you don't mind. Thank you for sharing "yourself" with the world!
Sending love and appreciation!❤

That's so kind Nadja. Thank you 💐
What a fun video! Thanks for your share! Those pieces on your little needle book will be enjoyed every day by you - what a great sense of peace and purpose! Love it!
Once again such a beautiful project🫶🏻🤗. I love your story about the rug and the beautiful wool blankets. I wonder if you one day would show some of them to us🤗. I would love to see them 🌺🌸🫶🏻🥰
It's on my list as a video to make Lizette. Just haven't got around to it yet..
@@marionsworld24 Looking forword to it, in the mean time I just found an old Ikea wool blanket - never used - I can cut up🥰💗🫶🏻
I love listening to your videos so relaxing and enjoyable. 😍 this was delightful and has given me a great idea for some special stones I found. Thanks for having this wonderful RUclips channel. Take care 🇨🇦
☺️💐
Hi Marion, this one really dingged my bell, I have done 2 sides of my rice bag, and I was nodding away when you were saying how hard it is to pick the fabrics and the placement , I finally just started to stitch and then it seemed to work. I love that you added some of the beach finds, so funny about the horses legs 😁, I did the stacked running stitch before, but it shrank so much, I couldn't use it for my book cover lining, so it's waiting for another project 😊
I would love to see the latching, such a great story about all the blankets and your mum and Nan too.
Can't wait to see the closure and the finished book next Sunday.see you Wednesday, take care 🤗🌈🌱
I'm so over the moon with the closure. It uses another beach find.....
@@marionsworld24 ooh, can't wait 😁
Lovely idea, the needle book. I still use my mother's which she made in her twenties it's in a furm of a bell with various stitching all around each page. When I heard you explain that you wish to incorporate so many different things in it, I thought that's it. That is how I want mine with mum s bell in it with my old needle tubes , extra needles, embroidery needles, the whole lot of little things that one might need to finish a project. Fantastic. Thanks Marion. I am interested in what you where talking about old wool blankets. I too have some. I used a couple of battered blankets instead of batting for my very first quilt I made out of one pair of linen trousers, 2 skirts and, a piece of thick cotton given to me by my mother in law. I obviously had to hand quilt because it was too thick for my machine. Love your work and imagination imagination.
I have used blankets as batting as well. It's how things would have been done originally I think.
It's taken me a while to get started with the needle book because I knew I had to have something that was practical and stored more than just the needles. It's ended up just perfect!🪡🧵😊
Lovely video. I loved your story of finding the wool for your carpet.
Beautiful, love the way you attached the beach finds , I am rubbish at things like that 😂❤
Thanks Kathryn. Don't you ever add anything else onto your stitching?
I do stitch on rusty rings and things that can be couched but chunkier things like that pottery shard, I love to see on others work but can't get it to look right myself. I did a workshop with Alice Fox several years ago, stitching with found objects and even under her expert guidance I couldn't get on with it. 😂 Guess we can't all be good at everything 😉❤️ ps I have seen your email and am giving it some thought, will get back to you soon. 😊
@@k3n.clothtales I haven't heard of Alice Fox. I'll look her up 😊
I am sure she will be right up your street... She is also a lovely person. She lives near Bradford I believe..
I’ve been sewing needle books in my mind for years. Maybe this will finally move me to pick up a needle and thread 🪡 🧵
I look forward to the second part of this project. Thank you so much. Marion’s World is a gift to us all.❤❤❤
💐
Gorgeous Marion. I am learning so much from you an$ look forward to each time you are posting. I am following along with the stitch journal and I am totally amazed at how it is turning out. It is far from perfect but I love it.
It'll be brilliant Glennis. Because it's yours and it will be original and not like anyone elses'
Hi Marion, I love watching you sew and chat. Your stair carpet sounds amazing, I would love to see a picture of it.
I loved the story of the rug. I am hooking a rug right now but I am using yarn. I still have one I made about 45 years ago.
I never thought about hooking yarn...🤔
Thanks again for all you share.
Lovely Marion. It takes me ages to sort out materials and composition and my craft room looks a shambles after.
