Whimsical wind chimes and the morning air of the Southwest makes the garment You are wearing just scrumptious to take in….I have seen You wear it in your home before You moved and loved it…..but oh this in this video sharing my eyes wandered back over and over again to the play of the greens and the blues while You were talking which was so filled…..thanks for being “Our Ambassador crossing and criss crossing America ….

It certainly was breezy and my hair showed it, too! Glad it wasn’t too distracting! And sorry for the wind noise! Hope that wasn’t too bad, either! But yeah, I loved the way the wind chimes rang out periodically!

Finally had a chance to catch up with you. You are making it very hard to stitch from stash with all your beautiful patterns. Colors of Mexico is gorgeous! I can hardly wait for you to chart that towel! Hope you're having fun on the cruise.

So wonderful to spend some time with you. I hope you chart the Hutterite before I am too old to stitch it. It is amazing. Sending you and Mike joy for the holiday season.

Hi Sarah! Thank you for stopping by! I hope to get started charting the Hutterite sampler later this year or next year! It’s going to be a fun one! But I have to get the Saxony Sampler done first!
@PeggyAnn-53 8 ай бұрын
I've been waiting for years - years for the "perfect Iris" and was so excited when I saw your new design as that's the one - thank you so much. It's a memory stitch for my Mom and my sister and because all of us "kids" had cuttings of Mom's Iris - have dubbed this our family flower. Re: Vicki Clayton silks - I too, love hers. Sometimes when I'm stitching with them I have to stop for a moment just to take in the saturation of color and sheen. Have a save, enjoyable next leg.
@JanHicksCreates 8 ай бұрын
So happy to hear this, Peg! Irises are my favorite flowers, and they were my mother’s favorites as well! I’m so glad this design will have this special meaning for you!

Welcome back to AZ. For me this is the best time of year! Colours of Mexico is wonderful! Love to hear about all your travels. I’ve been following the cruise since I first heard about it. It’s on my bucket list but not this year. Will love seeing the pictures. Thank you for all the beauty you create!

I am absolutely in love with the tea towel 🥰
@graceann9680 8 ай бұрын
I love everything you make! It’s all so colorful and stunning! The Colors of Mexico would be amazing to make in sections. I could see using a border to make decorative towels or replace a different border in a sampler or to make your own band sampler! I just have so many ideas, can’t wait to pick it up! ❤❤

Hi Jan! So lovely to see you again. Your photos are always so stunning, you definitely have a gift of catching beautiful shots. So many beautiful designs that you are releasing. So much love for them and your life on the road. Sounds like you need the cruise to hopefully unwind a bit before Market happens. Hope all your travel plans bring you nothing but joy and happiness. Love to Mike and Nina as well. Merry Christmas and Happy 2024 my friend. Keep up the great designs and beautiful stitching! Dawn in Texas

Oh Jan, that 'Colors of Mexico' is so striking! Truly! I would love to challenge myself and stitch that and yes, learn Bargello; expand my stitching skills. Thank you for doing all the hard work on bringing this piece to us. Just lovely! Enjoyed this vidoe! Btw, it bothered me at first that some of the motifs were upside down but you explained it and I can be a little more accepting of the gal that stitched it.
@JanHicksCreates 8 ай бұрын
So wonderful that you plan on challenging yourself with Colors of Mexico! I think you will find it’s not a challenge at all, but do let me know if you have any questions!

Absolutely love the tea towel. Also, I am very anxiously awaiting the first segment of the Saxion sampler. Both are so beautiful, and I am ready to stitch them all. I hope you stay well and safe travels!

I haven't ever wanted to take on a very large piece, but I might have to rethink that for The Colors of Mexico! Absolutely stunning, and the variety of colors and motifs would definitely hold my interest. You are a skilled enabler Jan! 😏 😁 Happy Holidays and safe travels!

My work here is done! Lol. But really, Colors of Mexico was such a fun stitch! Hope you will join in on stitching that one!

Thank you for mentioning Under the Sea fabrics. I was not familiar with it and it is just down the street from one of the quilt stores I go to. Also, one of the former owners of Stitches from the Heart is now doing classes and working at Yarnivore on NW Military. I guess they are incorporating cross stitch along with their knitting and crochet supplies. Safe travels. Hope you enjoy the whole trip, but especially your time in San Antonio.
@JanHicksCreates 8 ай бұрын
That is good to know, about Yarnivore, Lee! I’m going to be very busy while there! Hope you can come out and meet up with me at one of these places.

Thank you for the video. Your acquisition of the Hutterite sampler is amazing. I live in Alberta Canada and just for reference there are 204 Hutterite colonies listed here. As well there a lot in Saskatchewan. In the area I live in southern Alberta there has to be at least 20 that I can think of within spitting distance of where I live. They are very hard working people and to have a sampler would be something special to do for them. I wish you a very Merry and joyful Christmas and a happy new year.
@JanHicksCreates 8 ай бұрын
Thank you so much for that information! I had never heard of them before, so it’s something new I’m learning. I appreciate it! I hope to be able to start working on it later this year or next year.

Good to see you post a video. I have missed you on flosstube but understand connectivity can be a challenge when RVing. Love your post card post. Hope all is well with you. Wishing you, Mike and your family a wonderful Holiday. I was excited to hear you hope to visit Sassy Jacks and The Stitchin Kitten in 2024. Both of these LNS are about 2 to 21/2 hrs from me so I hope to be able to meet you at one of these shops. I am currently stitching Carolyn’s Balloon Summer as I have stitched the other 3 patterns. Be Well and Safe travels.
@JanHicksCreates 8 ай бұрын
Thank you, Carolyn! I really hope to get into a better routine with my videos from here on out! Wish me luck! I hope you can make it to one of those stores! I would love to meet you in person! Take care and Merry Christmas!

I wish your cruise was leaving from California, it would have been easier for me to go. Have a great time. That Spanish sampler is amazing. Merry Christmas and Happy new year to you both.❤

I have your chart for colors of Mexico and have ordered the fabric and Vikki Clayton silks. I love this! I wonder if you have the book “Sonoran Borders: Threads of Friendship” by Vickie LoPiccolo Jennett. This book fits in so well with this sampler. Published by Kansas City Star Books I think about 2015 or so
@JanHicksCreates 8 ай бұрын
No I don’t have that book. I wonder if it’s still in print. Something to search for! Thank you, Christine!

Great to see you, have a catch up visit. I recently got the Winter magazine, and some floss and fabric. I also have the Autumn sun kitted. I have many projects lined up…like a squirrel gathers nuts for the winter ❄️. SD has been having warmer than normal temps, and only a dusting of snow so far; but I’m ready 😊. Just waiting for my eye check after cataract surgery…to see what I might need for glasses…..if any. And then a couple other checkups and I will be ready to hibernate. Stitch, Quilt, a bit of knitting, and reading. Hope your check ups are nothing serious, and you and Mike are off traveling, preparing for the cruise 🚢 Maria did a fantastic job on that finish…on a cross stitch not available yet 😊 Enjoy your holidays and travel. The article was fantastic. ‼️. Best to you, Peg 💛
