Marion - Your book is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. The artistry on each page takes my breath away. You’ve created an heirloom that will be treasured forever. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us. ❤
I’m watching this lovely video a year after you created it. In it you mention having 600 subscribers… I see you now have 18.7 thousand! Absolutely well deserved, too. How fantastic when skill, creativity, industry and sheer loveliness win out!
Stunning beauty on each page!! Yes, this is an absolute heirloom to be treasured through the years. You should be very proud of your work. I am so thankful that you continue to create and craft new works all the time. You are a blessed, inspired artists with a soul that touches the whole world that discovers your channel. Every hour watching your channel is a gift!!!
Hi Marion thanks for showing the construction of your book,it’s so clever and your instructions were very clear , I love your videos and look forward to what you’re planning to share with us next ❤
❤ Dear Marion, your youtube channel is so unique, peaceful and magical. I love all of your works and the amazing intricate details on it. You help me so much during a serious illness and bring so much happiness into my life. Your magical world is really valuable to me and makes life easier. I thank you so much 💐
Thank you Marion for your lovely video. I am looking forward to making my stitch journal now. Your inspiration is ace, and I love walking with you around your magical garden. Thank you once again take care xx❤
Yes, it looks like your channel grew very fast. It’s lovely to watch you because your are very lovely. Your delight in doing the videos is infectious. Thank you for making this video. When I was a young teen, I got stuck in an algebra class. I failed because I couldn’t imagine those invisible numbers. I did very well with practical math which included sewing and cooking. With sewing, you need geometry. With cooking, fractions. I can also do percentages because I needed to calculate sale prices. Watching you create the soft pages, I recalled the fun of sewing geometry. I could also imagine the feel of muslin (US for UK calico). I think you must of washed it, because it looked very soft. Anyway, thanks for the how-to because I needed to see how you made your stitch book. The slot and tab method is genius, and is another thing I’ll have to research. You are a fabulous teacher. Thank you!💕
Thank you so much Mara. It's amazing how maths is in everything and yet school can make it seem so dry and boring and take all the fun out of it! We all use practical maths every day I think.... Thank you for watching my videos. I've learned lots about doing them already.
Marion, I have never seen a book like this one, how it is put together. I love it. Thanks for sharing the link to make it. Love the butterfly on the front cover.
I had a difficult time following the details because my mind was blown and my breath taken away at the stunning pages you showed us. Wow! You’re amazing in your artistry. Thanks. ❤
I get so excited when I see the notice for a new video because your excitement is infectious!! Also I am quarantined with the latest COVID bug going around the US- and I was so over the whole thing more than a year ago!!But I will be fighting fit for when you start the next book because I want to share the excitement and learn more. Your tutorials are pragmatic and clear-with the added touch of your years of experience. I’m dumbfounded that you sew linen garments- I love it !I didn’t remember that I had looked into Anne Woods 100 day challenge- I LOVE the look of her work but I just can’t replicate it- so I didn’t try the project. It is so evident ( to me) what page in your book that you started stitching what is in your heart and soul using her guidelines and inspiration! That is every teacher’s hope- to dream up the experience and see everyone take flight!! And now you will gather fledglings and on it goes!! I’ve watched UTube videos for 3 years now and have only commented one or two times- I decided that if you were brave enough to make them I could be brave enough to be one of your cheerleaders! Great fun for both of us! Can’t wait to see your creative space- already love all of the stones on the window ledge.
Hi! I’m in Wisconsin wondering where Covid is flaring up. You’re the second US person I’ve seen on CZcams with Covid. Where are you? (region if you don’t feel comfortable revealing your state) I’m triple vaccinated. Were you immunized? Geez, do I have to wear a mask again? Bummer. I hope you are well soon. 🇺🇸
@@maramakesjournals2319 Gosh -I’m so sorry to alarm you about Covid- I’m in North East Indiana- my friend thinks she got it while waiting in the Indianapolis airport. She and her guest visited me- then I got it -her guest returned home and now has it. I’ve had 3 vaccines- last one was 2/21- I got Paxlovid -Rx the same day I tested positive- which was last Friday I’m almost over it symptom wise- today( Monday)- of course I’ll still quarantine and I’m 77 so still take it easy for another week - I have learned to respect the power of viruses!! I’m not sure what is going on as far as “it “going around again- I read on the CDC website that there was a new strain detected in January. I quit watching television about two years ago- so I don’t really know what’s happening- it’s for my mental health- I find it much more productive to seek out lovely U tube channels like Marion’s World!! Again- I’m so sorry to alarm you- if you have more specific questions- I’m happy to answer- especially if it might calm your concerns
Hello Diane. What a wonderful message you've sent me, thank you. Other than the fact you're poorly with Covid that is. I hope you're not too ill with it? I'm lucky that I haven't had it at all. At the beginning I was still running my gardening business so mainly worked on my own in people's gardens. They used to wave to me through their windows whilst I worked. My sister was in a bubble with my husband and myself and we didn't see anyone else. I feel as if we're going to be on an adventure together Diane... I've only just started watching other videos now... I didn't really have any interest before. I think I'm just emerging into the online world at the moment.... The stones on the window sill are actually flint tools. I learned how to knap flint and made a hand axe and scrapers as if I was in the stone age! Super interesting too... Thank you very much for being my cheerleader too!
@@dianemcgregor6412 I heard today that in-laws in Milwaukee have Covid. It must be everywhere! I’m 71 (one of my risk factors). We live in the country. I go to PT 2Xweek. They’re not requiring masks. I think we’ll be more careful to avoid proximity. Thanks for your reply. I read more nowadays and enjoy CZcams. We just watched an Ava Gardner movie on TCM. I watch way less news than a year ago, but feel I have to know what’s happening in the world. But not too much! Peace to you.
Your book is exquisite Marion, so so clever! I love the dragon embroidered. My youngest grandson would covet that I’m sure 😊 thank you for the tutorial ☺️💕
Thank you Marion your tutorial is very helpful...looking forward to whatever you decide to do next...and I think your Raven flapped his wings just then....
😅 He's definitely getting a personality! Almost finished him. Goodness only knows where he's going to go... He ended up bigger than I expected and has quite a presence! Hopefully the finishing touches will make him able to settle somewhere without frightening anyone 🤣
I have just found you and I am so thrilled! I think your book is absolutely beautiful. I am now going to binge watch all of your videos. You are so very talented. Thank you
I just love your little book. And I never see people do dragons or greenmen. Just wonderful sight for our eyes. How marvelous to just look and enjoy the textures of all the pages. Great work and images. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hi Marion, thank you for this very informative and exciting video. I loved seeing not only how you put your beautiful book together but also how you made each page from calico. I can't wait until you start the stitch along with your next book as I would love to join in. Should I make my calico book in readiness? The raven is so pretty too. You certainly keep yourself very busy. I had to laugh as in one section of your video I could hear the birds singing outside your room. At first, I thought they were at my place, so I looked out my window and I couldn't see anything then I took my laptop to the window and paused the video and realised they were coming from your video hahaha. I love everything about your videos, especially your gratitude to us all. See you on the next video 🌷
It's a male blackbird Mara... There's a nest in the garden and he comes and sings on the wall of my yard. He's gradually coming closer to me and I'm hoping he'll take food from me eventually!
Hello Helen, Don't make the pages yet. I'll explain more in a pre book video maybe next week. That male blackbird is so loud! He is getting semi-tame. He comes and sings on the yard wall when I'm outside and has come with his chick for seed to within about 2 feet of me when I'm sewing outside. I talk to him now in the hopes he'll get used to me and maybe take seed from my hand eventually... Work room next!
So glad I found your videos. They are lovely. You’re so talented. I’m familiar with@Ann Wood. I’ve followed her for sometime. Thank you for sharing your work. Love your garden too😊
Thank you. I only found Ann's site in January, a couple of weeks before the Stitchbook project started. I was actually researching an idea I'd had and her site came up. I'm pleased you're enjoying watching my fledgling channel.😊🪡🧵
A very interesting way of putting a book together. Such a hand-stitched book is always unique but yours is especially beautiful Marion. Looking forward to seeing your stitching room/space. Definitely wouldn't show mine😂
Mine definitely goes through phases of tidiness and utter chaos! I try to tidy everything away in between projects so I start fresh again. It doesn't always work though 😊
Hello Marian I have just been lucky enough to find you on u tube WOW your work is incredible I am now one of your subscribers exited learn more THANKYOU ❤❤
That is so beautiful. So much beautiful work. Your work reminds me of Eleanor Birchell Hughes. She is a textile artist and loves a lot of these same things you are doing.
Marion I think you are such an amazing creator. I love making things too but you inspire me to try things I never would have thought about. Thank you ever so much for sharing your world ,it is a beautiful place ❤
Marion you are a delight to watch, and that book of yours, well it's just beautiful. The raven is looking good, bit of a punk rock thing with the needle in his head lol.
The pages are spectacular and I am amazed at the construction of your book! I’ve spent hours assembling fabric books that don’t lie flat or look as beautiful, so thank you!
After seeing this wonderful book I can’t wait to see your next one! Please let me know if this book will be going on display anywhere locally and I’ll come to see it.
Adding the extra fabric to two of the page sets was a brilliant innovation. My book is mostly assembled, and I won’t undo it at this point, but you’ve shown how to make the next book align better. Thanks very much!
😀I have kind of started with that 100 days for this year with Ann, but I have not so far made a start as far as needle and thread onto material 😞I will organise myself and make each page up as I can and then get them together in a book.
What a wonderful video. It was so relaxing, I laughed at the needle stuck in the ravens head 😂I’m going to be binge watching all your other videos over the weekend. 👍🤗
Love your videos! You keep me company while I am knitting. Your genuine kindness and giving nature really comes through in your videos. I'm hoping you're a great success.
That is a very unique way to put a fabric book together. I love it! I saved this video in my library so I could watch it again and again. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe. Hugs ❤
Thank you so much for doing a demonstration of the fabric book. I’m a visual person so it helped a lot. Everything you do is so inspiring. I can’t wait for the sew along with your new fabric book. The raven is really stunning. Did you make the whole thing if so is there a pattern for her/him?
Thank you Trish. There's no pattern for the raven I'm afraid. I made him up as I went. But Ann Wood has the pattern for a crow on her website. I made that first and knew straight away I wanted to make a raven with outstretched wings.
Hi Marion when I saw your stitch book oh my goodness!! How beautiful! Really amazing work, but then you showed us your raven well that was it! You are amazing with your work! Thank you so much Marion I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Thanks Tracy. I've always got a few projects on the go at the same time. There's quite a choice of things at the moment. You'll probably see them in a week or so.
Hello Marion, Ive not tried the tab and slot method of handmade books. Good idea. Another straight forward tutorial on the method and embroidery is a very relaxing pastime and looks well presented in book form. I just need to brush up on my embroidery and find out my threads. Looking forward to what you are going to do for your new book. xx
I hadn't even heard of a fabric book. So it's the only method I've done. It will be interesting to explore new ideas too, even though it is a very satisfying way to put the pages together.
What a fabulous video, Marion!!! I actually started watching you from your craft room tour and been bouncing out of order 😂 I just love how engaging you are with us! Makes me feel like I can get out of my basement studio and join you in your gorgeous garden 💞 I know it can be a lot to keep up on comments, so just know I’m always giving likes even if I don’t have time to say hi 👋🥰 I have a few videos up but am struggling to keep consistent as my household is “mom dependent”😂 Wonderful explanation for the book construction. I found you really easy to understand the process and appreciate you showing it 💜💜xxCindy from Ohio US
Thank you Cindy. It's lovely for me to know that there are people like you all over who are liking what I'm doing... Quite amazing really. I'm not actually doing anything different than what I've done for years. Just that now I'm filming it to show people...
Enjoyed seeing your lovely stitched book again and then showing how it was constructed. Your work is beautiful. I was also interested in the Norwegian long ship in your craft room. I’ve been to Norway and loved being there. Maybe when you have time you could tell us something about your long ship. Thank you Marion 😊❤️
Hello Sheila. When I video my sewing room later this week you'll hear about my longship. I absolutely loved making it. Complete with Eric the Viking and his raven banner!
@@marionsworld24 oh that had me smiling. I look forward to meeting Eric, his raven and longship. I though you had probably made it but didn’t say like to presume. Thank you Marion.

Great technique for paper as well as fabric
I think the method was first used for a paper book before it was used for fabric...
Wow it is amazing! LOVE the dragon!
Absolutely beautiful
Marion, you are such a joy to watch. I’m so happy to have found your CZcams presentations.

I did love creating him....😊

That bird was loud! My husband put the Merlin app on our smart phone. I think I’m going to try tomorrow to identify that bird.
It's a male blackbird Mara... There's a nest in the garden and he comes and sings on the wall of my yard. He's gradually coming closer to me and I'm hoping he'll take food from me eventually!
Hello Helen,
Don't make the pages yet. I'll explain more in a pre book video maybe next week.
That male blackbird is so loud! He is getting semi-tame. He comes and sings on the yard wall when I'm outside and has come with his chick for seed to within about 2 feet of me when I'm sewing outside. I talk to him now in the hopes he'll get used to me and maybe take seed from my hand eventually...
Work room next!

Oh Wow...I just saw the yellow rose and the bird opposite...absolutely stunning...exquisite workmanship ❤

What a wonderful video. It was so relaxing, I laughed at the needle stuck in the ravens head 😂I’m going to be binge watching all your other videos over the weekend. 👍🤗
Love your videos! You keep me company while I am knitting. Your genuine kindness and giving nature really comes through in your videos. I'm hoping you're a great success.
That's so kind of you to say Rachel. What are you knitting? I have some knitting to start and one I have to finish first 😊
You are so talented!! Every page is so beautiful. With your instruction, you make everything look so easy to do!

What a BEAUTIFUL book!!! I am so amazed at all your images. Oh my word, what gorgeous work! Thank you for sharing.🥰
💐🧵🪡😊
Love watching you put the book together! 💕
That is a very unique way to put a fabric book together. I love it! I saved this video in my library so I could watch it again and again. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe. Hugs ❤
I'm pleased you liked it. Thank you for your message.
This is amazing! Love how it all comes together!!
It was a lovely moment when it all was a book for the first time!
This is a work form the soul. I just love it so much thanks ❤
Thank you so much for doing a demonstration of the fabric book. I’m a visual person so it helped a lot. Everything you do is so inspiring. I can’t wait for the sew along with your new fabric book. The raven is really stunning. Did you make the whole thing if so is there a pattern for her/him?
Thank you Trish. There's no pattern for the raven I'm afraid. I made him up as I went. But Ann Wood has the pattern for a crow on her website. I made that first and knew straight away I wanted to make a raven with outstretched wings.
Very clever. And Marion you explained it so well.
💖 I love the birdsong. 💖💖
Thank you for showing how to do this great journal for stitching
You are so welcome Barbara!
You're most welcome ☺️
This is beautiful Marion. Love the way you have put it together, so I am going to do mine this way. Thank you so much for sharing.
You're welcome Nancy. You can find more information on Ann's website too.

Hi Marion when I saw your stitch book oh my goodness!! How beautiful! Really amazing work, but then you showed us your raven well that was it! You are amazing with your work! Thank you so much Marion I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Thanks Tracy. I've always got a few projects on the go at the same time. There's quite a choice of things at the moment. You'll probably see them in a week or so.
@@marionsworld24 Sounds Wonderful Marion ! Look forward to it. 😊
Thanks!
Thank you very much 💐💐💐
Hello Marion, Ive not tried the tab and slot method of handmade books. Good idea. Another straight forward tutorial on the method and embroidery is a very relaxing pastime and looks well presented in book form. I just need to brush up on my embroidery and find out my threads. Looking forward to what you are going to do for your new book. xx
I hadn't even heard of a fabric book. So it's the only method I've done. It will be interesting to explore new ideas too, even though it is a very satisfying way to put the pages together.
What a fabulous video, Marion!!! I actually started watching you from your craft room tour and been bouncing out of order 😂 I just love how engaging you are with us! Makes me feel like I can get out of my basement studio and join you in your gorgeous garden 💞 I know it can be a lot to keep up on comments, so just know I’m always giving likes even if I don’t have time to say hi 👋🥰 I have a few videos up but am struggling to keep consistent as my household is “mom dependent”😂
Wonderful explanation for the book construction. I found you really easy to understand the process and appreciate you showing it 💜💜xxCindy from Ohio US
Thank you Cindy. It's lovely for me to know that there are people like you all over who are liking what I'm doing... Quite amazing really. I'm not actually doing anything different than what I've done for years. Just that now I'm filming it to show people...
I love this way of making a book journal!
Stunning work! Your pages are beautiful, such talent!!
Exquisite needlework
Clever construction
Thank you for sharing!!
Very clever construction. I did one of Ann's Scrap Swops, but have not one or her 100days....your intricate designs are amazing.
I haven't heard about a swap. I only just found her site before the stitchbook project started. I'm pleased you liked mine Cinzia.
Enjoyed seeing your lovely stitched book again and then showing how it was constructed. Your work is beautiful. I was also interested in the Norwegian long ship in your craft room. I’ve been to Norway and loved being there. Maybe when you have time you could tell us something about your long ship. Thank you Marion 😊❤️
Hello Sheila. When I video my sewing room later this week you'll hear about my longship. I absolutely loved making it. Complete with Eric the Viking and his raven banner!
@@marionsworld24 oh that had me smiling. I look forward to meeting Eric, his raven and longship. I though you had probably made it but didn’t say like to presume. Thank you Marion.
