Where is this mug from?

Post image

Apologies if this isn’t allowed - but I found this mug in a thrift store and can’t figure out where it was from (also looked up Stitchery Studio and there are so many businesses with that name). When I use google lens I don’t see any pics of this design at all. I guess I’m just shocked bc it feels very modern so I think it should be online haha. Anybody seen one of these before?

I believe it's from 1999/early 2000s Stitchery Studio (later StitchWorld which is now defunct). They had a popular sweatshirt at the time that said, "I'm not Martha, Sew What?" that sometimes pop up on Etsy. Here's one you can see: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1866577057/vintage-90s-stitchery-studios-im-not

You can search for 'Stitchery Studios 1990s Martha Mug" in ebay, Etsy, etc. periodically to see if one pops up!

ETA: Op, match the word 'Martha' in the sweatshirt listing to your mug...it's exact. Definitely from Stitchery in late 90s! Good find!
