Watching you work and listening to your gentle voice is so soothing. You've inspired me to start a quilt and I'm quite happy about that. I don't think you will ever run out of ideas so I'm planning to watch your videos for years. Thank you.
So fantastic! I have a watercolourbox, havent youse it for 30 years! 😥 This week I took a peece of fabric and paint it with the watercolours, in The colour of januari in Sweden . Pail blue, pail Pink, Grey, white , pail purple...and it made me so happy 😊.We have a lot of snow and it is -15 C today were I live. Thank you so very very much again! Tomorrow I will do my second running stich with the ribbon of my painted fabric 👍❤
Fantastic! At last I’ve found someone who’s very like me! I love watercolours and nature journalling. Also I move from one project to another and love experimenting with different techniques. You’re very creative, Marion, and it’s a wonderful way to be. There’s so much unhappiness in today’s world, but you have the ability to use your creativity to see all the beautiful things, and that’s a real gift. Thank you for sharing your many projects and ideas. I love it!😊
Love your little “art gallery” who would have thought that could be created from an old piece of cloth that was used for cleaning your brushes, just proves there is beauty in everything. You really are so creative Marion
You have given me a brilliant idea - I do not have any paint cloths as I am no artist but I do have a collection of tiny pieces of Liberty print fabric that was given to me by a friend and have often wondered what to do with them so a big thank you from me for the inspiration to make good use of them.
Hello Marion, you are truly inspirational. After watching you I am now on my third kawandi and have just started my stitch journal this evening, 7.45 pm. Looking forward to more of your videos. Thank you.
That is SO lovely!!!❤ I don't have a paint cloth, and my old denim was too heavy, so I'm using scraps from quilt fabric and part of an old work shirt from my husband. Just looking at the composition, before stitching anything down, is bringing me joy... that's what it's all about, right? Thank you, Marion, for another wonderful tutorial. I always look forward to your next videos. ❤❤❤
Hi Marion at 74 I’m a beginner. After watching this episode I collected my granddaughter (22) and went shopping for the fabric paint and brushes. Wow what fun😊 we had. Now I have pieces of coloured paint cloths to do my piece. I think she may be interested in a cloth book and some practice time with Nanna. Thankyou ❤
Hi Marion, from Boulder, Colorado USA. I too, like you, find it hard to do an everyday thing but I decided this year to give it a go. I Love slow stitching and quite frankly I love everything fabric, paint sculpting and nature. You are my kindred Spirit for sure. I just wish my ideas would slow down so I could at least finish one thing before starting a new and completely different project. Love your work. ❤
Think I'm going to find me an old sheet or pillow case, my granddaughter and I use paper towel when we paint. I will be exploring the closet for potential rags. Thank you for being such a great inspiration.
You are an amazing artist and have inspired me so much. I am really enjoying stitching again. I am now the proud owner of my own ‘tangle’! So liberating not fussing with trying to put the leftover threads back on the bobbins I cut them from.
I had a tangle & didn’t know it had a name. I used to say I must sort that mess out..😂 Now I put it in a pretty little basket and gave it a name & an adding to it & going to use it in my stitch journal. Thanks Marion. I have paints so going to make a paint cloth before I stitch this week
@@5kristy71 It is just a bunch of threads from previous projects. It isn’t knotted up, just loose threads that are still perfectly usable. Watch more of Marion’s bird book videos and you’ll see it.
@@5kristy71 My Thoughts of tangle….those threads that you are finished with but are to big to throw in your Ort jar Added to those which have got in a tangle after starting them & haven’t got round to putting on a bobbin card Will pick up tangle to try to use up before looking in thread box or for bit of daily stitching Hope that helps..
Thanks Marion for today’s inspirational week two video. Can’t wait to get started tomorrow on my own one. My new project is having a go at weaving with the simple table loom I got at Christmas. Never a dull moment in a crafters world is there. ❤️
You are such a talented lady I really enjoy watching what your next project will be each time . Really lovely stitching journal. Thank you for sharing your talents with us
The lowly paint cloth truly is a work of art. Love it. Thank you for sharing your work. I will be changing my paper towel cleaning cloths to pieces of fabric to clean brushes now that I know they can be beautiful art pieces.
Oh Marion u really make me smile,old paint cloths whatever next,.! I went to a boot sale last weekend snd managed io buy some linen curtains so i can start my stitch journal with them. Your ideas are so imaginative i shall enjoy sewing them.Thanks again for giving us your precious time and fantastic ideas.Paulinex
Lovely video! I'm finding these videos really helpful as they are inspiring and yet so simple and easy to follow and complete. I'm off to sort through my scrap samples right now. It is lovely to see glimpses of your other ongoing projects and look forward to seeing more of them as they progress. Thank you for all your effort and hard work in providing such lovely videos.
You are so amazing! I am still watching the older videos and I am so glad that they are there for me to see! Every one is awesome! I will look for the tree as it looks like something I might do too! Above my kitchen cabinets I have pieces of bush branches that were cut off and attached to a piece of wood like little trees. I painted them all white and put tiny white lights all over them and it looks quite magical! I want to ask if you have ever done a video about how you store and organize your supplies? Since I am moving, I will pay close attention to how I organize in my new small space. Also I wonder if you have ever done a video about paint pouring because my friend and I have talked about trying it. I realize that it may be a tender memory for you since you did it with your husband. My thought is that it also might be a great tribute and maybe inspire others to do it together. I like and appreciate everything that you do!, Thank you so very much!💕💕 Donna
I haven't done a paint pouring video 🤔 but it's on my very long list of video ideas... And as for storage.. I'm currently re organising my sewing room and there'll be a video once I'm done... ☺️ I love the sound of you painted branches with fairy lights ☺️
Oh, Marion, you are a peach! I smiled thru the end of the video; so happy to see you and hear your voice. I watched the first 2/3 of your video last night, but I kept falling asleep. I stayed up too late again. I 💜💜💜 what you’re doing. So far, it is an excellent primer for beginners. I’m enjoying your spontaneous art. It’s fun. Thanks for inviting us into your world. 💜💜💜
Thanks Mara. That's what I was hoping. There's a lot of people who are new to stitching anything at all. Hopefully it's nice to practice stitches whilst also knowing you're making something lovely.
Oh how I wished I'd used cotton cloths when I used to paint. I love this idea. I always used paper towels, then chucked them away. I haven't painted in years, and I was just a novice back then.
Love ❤️ Marion’s World 🌎!! You are a jewel !! I would never have ever thought when I watched your first RU-vid video that you would have been a lady that spent her life in a profession that had dirt and dirty hands involved .. ❤❤ I worked in education for 33 years but we showed horses since I was a little girl and I’m an old lady now 😂.. I have had dirty hands most of my life too !! But I have always enjoyed handwork ( stitching) … much more than ever did using the sewing machine.. so perfect timing finding you !! Until Sunday !! Have a great week !! ❤❤❤❤
This was a fun one to do! I tore some hand dyed scraps a friend made me years ago. I will post on the IG journal page when finished. Thank you again for doing this. It really is soothing,
From Angele 💝💝💝💝 I've been subscribed to you for about a week now. I enjoy your videos. You are quiet. Creative. Easy projects. Thank you! I also think that your project today looks like little works of art. Minus 35 C in Devon, Alberta, Canada on Jan 13, 2022. It's a stay-inside-day! ....doing slow stitching and watching videos! -From Angele 💝💝💝💝
My goodness that sounds sooo... cold! It was due to snow here this weekend but we haven't seen anything yet... I'm happy you're enjoying my channel....
This is really lovely Marion. I haven’t got paint rags but am going to paint some cloth. Moving house soon so no time just yet but loving watching you create lovely craft work
Hi Marion, I loved this video. The colours on your paint cloth are beautiful. I would have loved that design as wall art. I find you so interesting to listen too and very talented in everything you do. I don't usually like to mix sewing and painting or sewing and glueing, just something I can't normally get myself to do, BUT you have inspired me to have ago. I think I will paint some splodges on a piece of old sheeting and have ago. Many, many thanks for your lovely videos, you are a tonic, Diane xxx
Inspiring video (as always!). I didn't have any painty cloths but wanted my piece to be arty. I finally cut off 6 buttonholes, in squares, from a scrapped patterned blouse. Each piece has a different area of pattern around the opening. I'm very pleased with the outcome, something I would never have thought of doing before. Thankyou.
I love the way your mind works - while working on one project your brain thinks of another possibility you can create! I would enjoy seeing how you are putting your "tree" together, even if only a slight explanation is given. Really nice video today as always. Thank you
👏🏼week 2. 🫶🏼I‘ve been waiting impatiently. I told a friend about your videos and said she had to watch them. 😂Your voice is so soothing 💆🏼♀️and the embroidery is incredibly beautiful❣️lovely greetings from germany
If you don’t want to draw lines, you could always use quarter inch quilting tape to mark your lines comes off cleanly no fuss, no mess. Nothing left over nice clean fabric.
Thank you Marion for the video. That is so effective,who would think that your paint cloth could be so artistic. I watercolour so rinse mine out (just to take the bulk of paint off) then use again so they are quite pastel looking,but,I am looking at them in a new light. It's funny I am concentrating on finishing a knitted jumper and felt a little out of sorts yesterday. I realised on watching your video I had stitch envy ,no stitching for 3 days and withdrawal was real.😂😂
I promised myself do do more watercolour this year. I hadn't had my paints out for ages. I did a portrait for a Christmas present and it really made me want to carry on painting some more. So far I've done a tiny bit every day as I'm painting the sky on my phenology wheel.
I always look forward to each one of your videos....this one is so interesting to see how pretty the painting rag can turn out to be....I love your tree 🌳 ❤....I have 3 afghans going on at the moment...plus I just finished making a quilt for my adult son's birthday later on in the month....I will finish the label tomorrow....I'm the type that gets overwhelmed with too many projects going on at once...I am very much enjoying watching your creativity while listening to your voice which is so calming and soothing...have a great day my friend and blessings to you ❤
Thanks Sheryl. I must admit I like to get things finished if I can, but it doesn't always work out like that! This year I'm going to see if posting on my channel will help me get some things finished off at last!😅
Thank you for doing this project. My husband gave me some little squares of cotton he washes his brushes off with. What a great idea to showcase them! They look wonderful placed together on the denim. Thanks for sharing another wonderful idea. Your work is always beautiful to watch.
