I enjoy real-time video. If any viewers are in a hurry, they can always fast forward. I wish we had a bit of your rain. So dreadfully dry here in central Texas. 🪡😢 I can hear the rain. It sounds lovely! Your hairstyle is so pretty.
Thank you Carole. The problem is that I'm usually stitching my projects for quite a while. I thought the little bee would be fine but it still took just over two and a half hours .. I still had to edit the video to a reasonable length...
Hi. I love to watch your channel so many creative ideas, your voice is very calming. The bee is beautiful, great job. Also I love the rain it is so calming. I have made close and always all my curtains for the house. Keep moving forward and always enjoy what you are doing. Bless you. 😊❤.
That be turned out amazing! If I would’ve just looked at that, I would’ve been completely overwhelmed but seeing you do it a step at a time and talk us through it gives me hope that I could get good results. Always a pleasure to watch you work, I always learn something new!
I just found your channel on my search for embroidered insects. I am not an experienced embroider but seeing you work and hearing how you plan your work is so inspiring. And your slow kind way of taking makes it so encouraging. Thank you ☺️
Thankyou Marion. Kathryn sent me to your channel and I love your work. Between you and Kathryn I am now looking at art with new eyes and have tons of ideas whirling around in my head. Our winter is rapidly approaching here in Costa Rica so I will soon be indoors most of the time and working on new art projects that are going to be fun to do. Keep going and keep inspiring people to step out of the box.
It's a very cute bee Marion. I have to confess that I learned watching your video about the different varieties of bees. Here in Kingston Ontario Canada has been raining a lot too! Perfect weather for stitching and watching your lovely videos. Thanks Marion! ❤
No worries; I enjoyed hearing the rain in the video. Thank you for demonstrating stitching the bee; I've been waiting for this on! I've been perusing images of bees native to my home in KY. I plan to give it a try. Thanks "sew" much for the inspiration!
Fabulous, absolutely not what I usually do but I am inspired to have a go. I am looking forward to seeing you make a top without a pattern and that skirt fabric is glorious ❤
Looking forward to seeing it. I made a bee body, not the kind of stitching I am used to but it came out not too bad. I am making something with the wonky roses I did for my last Wednesday video and a bee seemed the perfect addition. I am hoping it will look better once it has legs, feelers and wings. 😂♥️
Oh that bee is beautiful!! I love it all but especially the wings! Brilliant!! Thank you so much!! Yes, I was also thinking that the grey on the fabric would look just like a shadow and actually make the bee even better! 💕Donna
Oh, I love the little bee so much. Thank you for the stumpwork lesson. My granddaughter's mascot in college is a bee so we are all about bees:) I will try to make us all a small brooch to wear. You gave me courage :)
Marion, I have just been watching your videos and I have to say that you are the most amazing and talented person that I have seen on You Tube . I can’t believe how you know how to do everything and you do everything so beautifully!
Oh Marion, your sweet bee! That s lovely… I ve never imagined myself doing stump work but somehow…you get me imagining I could possibly try it. That s one of your skills I think…I can imagine making a little clump of moss with a tiny flower on it as that s what I saw this morning when I went to hang out the washing after watching a bit more ( it s taken me all week to watch in bits, just due to being busy) . Thank goodness our rain has departed for today here in East Yorkshire….oh and re thrifting. Loved what you said about clothing that way. I ve clothed myself for the last 50 years that way since I was 16 and very rare indeed for me to buy anything new. Gives me joy to find clothes that way 🧡
Me too Lesley... There are so many beautiful things second hand ...it's always like treasure to find something that's just perfect! I hope you had a dry day today. It's been sunny here but really, really cold again....
Such a cute little bee!!! I will definitely give stumpwork a go - you made it look real and easy and worth the effect it gives! Thanks so much for your videos - 😊
One of the most instructional and enjoyable videos to date. I love stump-work but have never been worthy of even a try until watching you Marion. I have cloth, thread and needle and today is the day that I try my Bee. Thank you for the encouragement! God Bless you. Virginia, USA
Lovely sewing project to add to my crazy quilt; I have been looking for ways to enhance blocks that seem to have empty center areas. We are blossoming more and more with your excellent tutorials. What a magical way to change the world of so many thousands of lives by you. Thank You!
The little bee is gorgeous, and the whole piece is marvelous. Thank you for showing us this new stitching tutorial. So many uses to make! The rain sounds so good to us all. The new clothes will look awesome with those pretty fabrics you bought.
Thank you Marion.... I am going to start my bee today.... over here in Western Australia we have a blue banded bee so I think that is the bee I will stitch. 🐝🐝🐝
So excited to be here for your very first bee - it turned out great! I love that based it on one of your native bees. The rain makes it sound cozy, but I’m sure one could get really tired of it (speaking from Oregon, one of those very rainy places).
Hi Marion. Thank you for your tip on satin stitch about quartering the area then filling in. I'd never been happy with my attempts at satin stitch, but now I tried your suggestion and have made a successful attempt at a flower. ❤
Brilliant Frances. I'm happy it worked for you. I always go around thinly and then back around to fill in. You can keep going back as many times as you like, but that first go around will set the angle of the stitches and keep you right for the rest of it...
Thank you Marion for your video. Well to bee or not to bee. He is beeautiful, I love stump work but it always looks so difficult. This looks doable and I know exactly the piece of work to try it on. Don't worry about the sound of the rain it is so soothing and almost gives you permission to sit and stitch. We have just had so much here in the UK , I am in a market town in the South East and many of the fields around me are so waterlogged and in a predominately arable area. It must be so worrying for farmers. See you next time.
Hi Marion, Your little bee is beautiful! In answer to your question. I rescue old linen and doilies and I like to make them into things like needle books, book covers, Hussif etc. It gives me great joy to see the beautiful embroidery on something and so I recycle in a sense like you. Growing up my Mother always made my clothes so I enjoy handmade things too. Thank You for sharing.
I love to hear the sound of the rain. I also love to hear the sound of your voice it is so soothing. You are so creative and inspiring. thank you for so for your inspiration.
Dear Marion, I haven't watched this video yet, it just popped up in my feed and I'm so excited to think that by week 15 of the stitch journal I'll be able to make that beautiful bee!! I am on week 2 having only recently discovered your wonderful channel. I am loving every stitch (they're ALL a bit wobbly 😂 so far but it's a new skill), and I absolutely love your videos which I'm working my way through. Thanks so much for sharing all your makes and teaching us all how to do it. Righto I'm going back to start week 3 of the journal so I'll probably get to week 15 in about September.....what a fun year this is turning out to be. P.s., I watched one last night where you were clearing your garden path and to hear the blackbird singing all the way through brightened my heart completely in this long wet winter so a huge thank you for including that too ❤
I'm so happy to hear that you are enjoying your new skills Hellen 😊 Thank you so much for joining in. Your skills will be getting better and better the more you do. Little by little with enjoyment.... that's the key 👍🪡🧵
Hi Marion, wonderful video as always 😍 Very realistic bee 🤗🤗 Loved the sound of the rain, it also sounded like a cosy fire crackling 😊We have had crazy rains here on the South Coast of OZ, my daughter lives 2 hours from us & they were deluged !!!!! A granny float 2 streets away wash washed off its foundations with 2 people inside !!! How terrifying, fortunately they were rescued & were okay would you believe !!!!! So now the big clean up for all those unfortunate people ☹☹ take care xxxxx
The sound of rain makes the video even more relaxing Marion! I love the wee bee…. I don’t think I can do one that small. Let’s see when I start stitching 😅 I am a couple weeks behind my work on the stitching journal because work got int he way. I need to get caught up this week and will post some pictures on IG when I get done….
I only did it that small because I was covering up the one underneath... You can do a giant bee if it pleased you 😅 Hope you're all well over there Cris 🤞💐
The rain sounds wonderful. It has been raining here also(Texas). A perfect day to sew along with you.❤ Your bee looks like he could take flight🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Oh Marion It turned out beautiful and your encouragement I think I want to try it. The rain soun ds so peaceful. I love you visiting us as you work ❤❤❤❤
Your Bee is fantastic!!😍😍👏🏻👏🏻. The material for your skirt is really Beautiful!!😍. I am looking forward to your video for your top making😋😋😋. Thanks so much for your videos🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
What a lovely video this was, with the sound of rain and a beautiful bee, just stunning 😍 I have to finish one row of last week before I give it a go. I might try doing the wings with Angelina, if I can remember where I put it five years ago. 😂 have a great weekend 👋🏼 oh and I just love the bird fabric you’re wearing, what a gorgeous dress.
@@marionsworld24 Angelina is/are a heat-bondable Iridescent Fibres, a bit like angel hair people put in the christmas tree. You need just a little tuff, spread it out on a baking sheet, put an other baking sheet on top and with a light touch of a hot iron it melts into a very thin see-through piece of lovely shinyness. You can cut it into the shape you want. It doesn’t stick on fabric while ironing, so it needs a few stitches to keep it in it’s place. It will keep its shape. Let’s see if this works ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3_Nr29eGB6c.htmlsi=3a3YgaXpjj26fZZt It did.
I love the Australian Blue Banded Bee we have. So pretty. If you Google Australian native bees there is a poster in the images section. So many pretty bees and most are stingless too.
