Ribbon Bluebells. Simple Stitches for Page 11 in my Fabric Flower Book

[@roxannelawrence8962]

I absolutely love your attitude about it not being a mistake but a learning experience. It is a true joy to watch you, you are so so talented!

[@cynthiaeastman7456]

You do such beautiful work. Please keep sharing.

[@marionsworld24]

I will, but I'll be putting in some different things I'm on with now that the flower book has been finished. The video for that will be live tonight.

[@lindaherrington6291]

Another lovely page depicting our native Bluebell, and they look so pretty using ribbon.

[@marionsworld24]

I feel I don't use the ribbons enough in my normal sewing. I expect I'll be using them to make some presents for Christmas maybe....

[@deniseking3422]

Thank you Marion for showing how to rectify an accident and move on. I love the page as it is real ❤️

[@marionsworld24]

Everyone has those moments when it goes wrong... Best to show how not to be disheartened about it and treat it as an opportunity if you can..☺️

Absolutely beautiful Marion and thank you so much for showing how we can fix our mistakes, genius way to correct it x

Watching whilst dark,wet and gloomy outside. I love bluebell woods in Springtime. Thanks for sharing x

It certainly is gloomy! We have quite a storm here at the moment, more windy than rainy though...

It's nearly finished too... Just one more page and the covers to sort out.

A magnificent clump of bluebells. Certainly a treasure to be loved from years to come. Love that cat talking too 😊

She's very loud as she's quite old and deaf. She probably can't hear herself and just gets louder and louder!

Good afternoon Marion, always such a joy to watch you, and a fantastic save on your beautiful flower page. Hope you a good weekend soft hugs Teresa xx

Thanks Teresa. You could hear from my voice, I was so surprised I'd made the mistake. I just kept thinking everyone would have seen it before I noticed it myself..... :)

Fantastic, I live in West Sussex where the Bluebell woods are spectacular. I find winter really depressing, and this has really cheered me up, Thank you :-)

It's blowing a hoolie here at the moment. We've a long way to go before next years bluebells sadly....

[@sis9622]

[@marionsworld24]

Thank you. It's reverse stocking stitch and just an easy straight shape. It's the bonny yarn that makes it I think.

[@pamelafreeman4548]

It's lovely watching your progress and how you use different media to do it! Thanks for sharing!😊

[@marionsworld24]

Thank you Pamela. I just use whatever I have to hand to get the pages done. I never think of it as only embroidery or only painting. Just however I can get the effect I would like to have. Thank you for watching...

[@jeanwhiley6571]

Ahhhh bluebells, so many childhood memories of picking bluebells (when it was allowed) in the woods for my Mum. Such a lovely page again Marion and how lovely it looks against the foxgloves. Once again so lovely watching the flower unfold and I’m loving learning ribbon embroidery. Can’t wait for Sunday

[@marionsworld24]

Thanks Jean. Yes, I'm the same, picking armfuls of bluebells to put in a milk bottle vase for Grandma. I know we have to protect our wild spaces, but I know that being able to do that when I was a child, gave me such an appreciation for nature as a whole. I think you'll like Sunday's bird... :)

[@marionsworld24]

I'm so happy you're finding mt videos helpful Fran. Thank you.

[@delphine997]

I'm fixing a couple of mistakes in a project by adapting my plans. I am prone to abandoning projects that have gone wrong, or damaging them with unpicking. Thank you for showing me a better way and how little fixes come out so well. Thank you too for sharing your creativity.

[@marionsworld24]

Oh my goodness. Thank you so much Delphine. I really appreciate that. I'm so happy you were inspired to rescue your projects. I seem to have to rescue mine quite often as my ideas change in the middle of a project even! I always think of a mistake more as an opportunity to do something different. It might be better than the original...or not. But trying is good for creativity. I'm so pleased you liked watching.

[@rachelmurguia9874]

I wondered what you would do if you made a mistake. Every time I see you writing in your book I hold my breath because I would have messed up so many pages.😊

[@marionsworld24]

😂 I often make a mistake... Sometimes you won't realise if I don't say so. But I think it's more helpful to show what you can do to move forward and not be too disappointed or upset. In the end it's only fabric and thread. Nothing dreadful..🪡🧵

Such lovely embroidery and you have dressed for the occasion. Your sweater is really pretty. Thank you for sharing❤ you've also taught us a valuable lesson on how to carry on. I also love how you use what you have. I work the same way and i think is makes space for more creativity.

[@marionsworld24]

I think so too. So many people think it's okay to just throw away and start again with something. It doesn't have to be just embroidery either. Finding a way is always worthwhile in my point of view.... :)

[@poodlegirl55]

I loved the blue bells even you didn't paint them. But after painting they look so much more real. The "paint"you use are those a kind of chalk crayons? I don't know the English word. Looks like the white crayons teachers used at school I use them to color Fimo clay but never for fabric. I always paint with acryl and lots of water. When you iron it, you can wash the fabric. I think that is not possible with the crayons. But you don't wash a book. 😃Have a nice weekend

[@marionsworld24]

Here is a link to what they are Marjan. They're a soluble ink originally made for paper. But I really like the way I can use them on fabric. I used to just use acrylic paint as you say, watered down, but these are very lovely to use. The colours are brighter and you can mix them just like watercolours.

[@marjanwolfs6273]

Thank you Marion. I didn't realized it was watercolor. They looks like crayons.

[@marionsworld24]

People do use them like crayons. If you look online for tutorials for them, it's mostly people colouring in and then using water to blend. They are ink though, so they're colourfast.

[@marjanwolfs6273]

I found them, and I know a shop where I can buy them. I don't like shopping online.😁

[@marionsworld24]

Excellent! It's definitely better to find a proper shop...😊

I’m careful with writing because I hate to mar the page or the sentiment. Alas, I make mistakes. I hate that moment when I have to choose what to do: leave it, scratch it out, begin it again, patch it, make it somehow look purposeful. The hardest part is to admit I’m only human and to remember it’s not brain surgery. The page is wonderful! I really like your script style. Your sweater is very pretty. Hey, it just occurred to me “sweater” is literal. Huh! The more you know . . .

[@marionsworld24]

I really couldn't believe I made that mistake. On camera too! I mostly just let it go straight away. Worse things happen at sea as the saying goes. I look at it as an opportunity, for being creative, for altering my plan, for just doing whatever it takes really. It's how I learn to do better hopefully...
