It’s no surprise you so enjoy being at home when you’re surrounded by all of your beautiful projects. Your cutwork is gorgeous & that shawl is amazing! You can snuggle up in that with the colder weather coming for sure. And as if all of that isn’t enough, I so enjoyed hearing sweet Misty telling you she needed some attention. The simplest things in life really are the best. Take care Marion.

Hello Marion, just finished watching your first live video. Since I have a nasty influenza and been in bed for the past 4 days, you kept me company even during those long feverish nights. Just wanted to say that you are a true multi-media artist. You have so much knowledge to share for all the upcoming generations to learn and for our generation to bring back memories. Keep doing what you’re doing, you are a beautiful person outside and inside, the love you have for what you are doing comes through the camera. Stay well💕✨

[@marionsworld24]

Thanks so much Elena. I hope you're feeling a bit better. It's awful when you're in bed poorly...

[@lesahanners5057]

So sorry to hear you have the flu Elena. I hope you are on the mend real soon, and have no lasting effects from it. Marion is a treasure and so full of wonderful talent. I love to watch her as I am doing my projects, she always gives me fresh idea's. May you be back on your feet and feeling more like yourself in no time. 😢

G'day Marion, what an treasure you are, I never tire of your sense and the calmness of your home and surrounds when you invite me in from the crazy world we live in.

[@lyndseybeaumont7301]

This technique would make a beautiful yolk for a dress or top. Wonderful to be shown this. Thank you Marion xx

[@marionsworld24]

I first did cutwork on a collar for my daughter when she was little. There weren't any lacy bars, just embroidered flowers and scallops. The fabric was cut back to leave the scalloped edge.

[@suburley4171]

Wow I can't wait to try this it's beautiful, thank you Marion ❤

[@carolceg]

Keep doing what you love Marion! I learn from every step you teach. Love 🤗💪🥰🙏

[@debbytowers6416]

Oh my goodness Marion, it was beautiful before but when you put that blue fabric behind it, wow it really popped! I've watched you do 2 stitch journals now so I think I want to do my own next year. Thank you for this series and I look forward to your cake recipe ❤ xxx

Hi Marion - Your piece turned out so pretty. I love that you put blue fabric behind it. Makes it stand out perfectly. Looking forward to your cake video. Your mystery stitch along is so pretty. Love all the colors the way you added them. You are such an inspiring lady. I’m so glad I found your channel. I learn something new with each video. Thank you! Hugs.

Hello Marion. Love your videos. I never tried sewing until I found you. I crochet and knit. You really are a good teacher and your voice relaxes my anxious mind. Your channel just plays while I’m doing my crafting. Thanks so much. ❤️

[@marionsworld24]

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoy it all..

Thank you! 😊

[@annrubino6252]

Marion, you pushed all my pleasure buttons when this turned over. Watching you cut-out had my heart racing! No one should do this work without having watched your tutorial - it is just superb and you so nicely point out all the little ways that could trip us up. This is definitely the most sophisticated type of embroidery.

[@marionsworld24]

Thanks Ann. It is quite a thing when you haven't ever taken scissors to embroidery before! But once you see that your scissors won't damage anything if you hold them flat you can just carry on. The pay off at the end is definitely worth it!☺️✂️

[@bestcrossroad]

Stunning!!! A very sweet project! Thank you, Marion.❤️ 🌸tess

I’ve always admired cutwork, but had no idea how to create a piece. Thank you for sharing this Marion. Your page is lovely.

[@sheilabennett3289]

Oh, Marion, WOW!!!❤ Your cut work is so beautiful!! I realized I was holding my breath when you started cutting. But YOU knew what you were doing 😂. I'm still planning to give this a go. I found a pre-printed design for a chair head rest set. It's not precious, but will work for practicing... and I'll hold my breath as I do the cutting 😂.

Can't wait fir Friday AND what project awaits us for the Christmas page. 🥰🎄

[@craftdipper]

I really enjoyed seeing your cutwork emerge, Marion. I wonder if anyone else was sort of holding their breath while you snipped??? 😂 It's wonderful on that blue. I'm dreaming now of how I could make a double-layered tunic or skirt with a little bit of cutwork on it.... 🤔✂️💭😍 Thank you so much for demystifying this process❤ Oh - and your shawl is the last word😍💕

Oooooh, even better than I imagined. Beautiful work and yes, as blanket stitch is one of the stitches I don't have any difficulty with I'll definitely add this into my sewing projects. Thanks to you I've finally arrested the dressmaker's hurry and rush to complete a project! I can sit at my table and pace myself to a Marion narrative. ❤❤❤

You'll be fine.. just take it one step at a time. You'll get braver the more you cut as your brain concentrates and then relaxes into it ☺️✂️

[@lesahanners5057]

While I was watching you, you gave me the greatest idea. I inherited a small round cutwork tablecloth that is over 125 years old and very fragile. I have been thinking of how to stabilize it. I think attaching it carefully to a blue cloth would work beautifully. I think grt grt grandma would approve. Thank you Marion, this turned out so beautifully and is truly amazing. 😊❤

[@marionsworld24]

That will definitely support the fragile cloth. You'll be able to enjoy using it again too 😊🤞

[@lesahanners5057]

@marionsworld24 This cloth belonged to grt grandma May. My mother in-laws grandma. I have a picture of her on her 90th birthday, standing behind a small table. The tablecloth is on the table, as well as a large cake for her celebration. It was old then. It had belonged to her mother, Bridgett Bowe, who came to America from Ireland in the 1800s. I shall always cherish it. As some things have precious stories, and this small tablecloth is one of them.

[@marionsworld24]

Do you usually bake your own too? I normally have this one done by mid October, but I'm late with it this year.. It will still be fine though.. I'm so happy to have used some stash up! Especially the plain blue which I've had for years and never seemed to want to use it. It found the perfect home in this shawl. Hopefully I'll get back to the cardigan that's on the needles now 🤞🧶
