Mary Corbet: Hand Embroidery Blogger, Designer, Teacher

Mary Corbet guest Stitchery Stories embroidery podcast Wide Art

Mary Corbet is the creator behind ‘Needle N Thread’ a globally popular and very long-standing hand embroidery blog. It is very much the hub of her brand, and through it, Mary shares her beautiful hand embroidery designs and kits, embroidery ‘how-to’ videos and creates an informative and enjoyable stream of blog posts about all things hand embroidery.

We delve into the backstory of why and how Mary got started with her blog and some of the challenges along the way. 2020 was a challenge for us all, so as we get started with 2020, Mary shares her projects and plans for the coming year, and we both agree…. we are NOT Wonder Woman so why do we try to cram in so much into our lives???

Keep on scrolling for further details, links, related episodes you might like, a gallery of Mary’s art plus a PINNABLE image if you love inspiring others over on Pinterest.

Susan Weeks chats with Mary today on the Stitchery Stories embroidery podcast.
