Well, my friends, I will be away from Needle n Thread this week.
I am talk typing this on my phone while lying in a hospital, recovering from an emergency surgery I had on Saturday.
I will write an update later when I am semi functional again! In the meantime, no worries. I will live! Just a wee bit of pain.
I will not be able to answer email or moderate blog comments until I am home and a little recovered. Hopefully not longer than a week to ten days.
Thanks for understanding! Hope to be with you soon!
Get well soon Mary, thinking of you.
Warm wishes for a quick recovery. Noelle Frances

Mary,
What a shock for you and for us all out there. Very glad to hear that you responded to warning signals and have had surgery to correct the problem. Best wishes for a thorough recovery. Please take the time you need to do this. Us addicts to your web page understand and will survive while you do this. We know your dedication but YOU and your HEALTH are more important to you and us than a webpage.

I hope you feel better soon. I love reading your posts and seeing all the beautiful embroidery in the facebook group.
Get well soon. We’ll miss you! Take the time you need to heal.
G’day dear Mary,
I’m so sorry for this latest rough detour in your journey and being forced into pit stop. Although I don’t comment like I used to I do still read, and look into your posts, and wonder about you. Please pick up quickly, regain your strength and abilities and keep encouraged.
Thinking of you with love Mary.
Cheers, Kath.
I wish you a speedy recovery.
Get well soon!
Sending you healing thoughts and prayers and for a quick recovery. Come back when you’re ready. We’ll all still be here! xo
Get well soon! 🙂
I’m sorry to hear that and wish you all good luck and speedy recovery! I don’t comment very often, but I always look forward to your posts. Your website is the reason why I returned to embroidery after many years. Your instructional videos are superb and your practical tips for lightning enabled my 73 year old mother to continue embroidering despite worsening eyesight, which made her (and me!) very happy. Most of all, I love the free, creative and joyful spirit you bring to embroidery. Get well soon, and take all the rest you need!
I just prayed for you, Mary.
Oh my, please feel better and get well soon
Don’t know if you’re able to keep up with these, but you will be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you feel better soon!
Our best wishes for a prompt recovery to you.
Sorry to hear you have been ill. Hope you recover soon and in the meantime, catch up on some reading or tv!
Take care,
Deirdre
You are in my prayers for a swift and easy recovery! Get well soon.
Good recovery
Oh dear. Take care! I hope you feel better soon!
Praying for you, that the pain subsides, and you can relax at home. We miss you.
God bless you. May you get well soon.
I hope you are healing and resting. Just wanted to pop on and say your voice is missed and send you positive mojo.
Wishes for a quick and comfortable recovery.
I’m so sorry! I’m praying for you.
I hope you feel better very soon! Sending good thoughts from across the ocean.

I am sure that I speak for lots of folks…we miss you!!!

I’m sorry you had to go through all that, but I’m so glad it was not cancer coming back. Take your time recovering. We will all live with fewer blogs for awhile. Pay attention to your health first.
Get well soon. My prayers to you.
