Congratulations to both you and Lisa on hosting Stitching in the Mountains ! It was my first time at a retreat and I really enjoyed meeting everyone and hope to attend another next year. Perhaps "Jo's Birthday Treasures" would be fitting title, whatever you choose to call them you have set a hihgh benchmark with this gorgeous piece.

[@mojostitches8404]

That's a contender lovely! And thanks for your kind words and for coming to the retreat :)

The My Bird pattern stitches up so quick and looks wonderful on the fabric and threads as supplied with the kit. I've made a start on the first hill and tree in the bottom left of the garden sampler, and yes the silk floss is just beautiful to work with. For your annual release, perhaps Mojo's (Annual?) Stitching Celebration (or any variant like Joanna's Stitching Celebration etc).😍

[@mojostitches8404]

Thanks so much Jay - I'm so glad you're enjoying 'My Bird' - it is great to have a quick stitch! And thanks for the suggestion - it's going in the hat! :)

Love the video! The pattern for the biscornu is Garden Biscornu from the Silks4U 2022 12 Days of Christmas calendar. I loved the retreat, you, Lisa, Michelle and Sarah did a fantastic job.

[@mojostitches8404]

Oh thanks Helen! I thought it was a Silks4U one, but I wasn't sure - thanks so much for clarifying. It's just beautiful! And thanks for your kindness and company at the retreat :)

So good to see you again and hoping you’re feeling better all the time. LOVE the Echos design…thanks for taking the time to get it right! For your birthday special, how about something like My Birthday Boomerang….since you’re doing a turnaround on the normal gifting process? Or is that too corny? I know you’ll come up with something fun☺

[@mojostitches8404]

Ooh - that's a great idea Connie! And thanks for your kind words...

[@samanthafry5849]

I just purchased ‘The Bird’ and ‘Echoes of a Garden Past. I’m getting closer to a finish on ‘The Humble Sampler: Harriet Turner 1868 so these will be a start for the new year. Lovely to see you on Flosstube again.

[@mojostitches8404]

Thank you so much Samantha - wishing you much happy stitching time over the holidays :)

[@marionanthony1530]

Enjoyed this video.Your joy of all things cross stitch shines thru. For your Birthday stitch "365 days later" Thank You.

[@mojostitches8404]

Oooh - that's a good idea! Thank you so much for your kind words.

[@mojostitches8404]

You're the winner Marion! Congratulations! Please send me a convo on Etsy and we'll work out the details of your gift voucher. Yay!

I'm joining in the new year SAL ... if I can hold off long enough - I'm really itching to get echoes started!!
It was such a lovely retreat - thanks Jo and Lisa.
Have a lovely birthday. How about "A gift from Jo"?

[@mojostitches8404]

Thanks so much Nat - honestly, the patience needed to wait for SALs is beyond me lol! I already have the piece for next year's birthday release and I'm DYING to stitch it! So glad for your company at the retreat :)

[@LadyMarmaladeinStitches]

You are such a talented designer and a beautiful person 😊 when i saw your new design ‘Echoes of a Garden Past”, I just had to have it!. I now need to choose a fabric from my stash. Take care and see you next time ❤ Sabrina

[@mojostitches8404]

Oh bless you Sabrina - you are so kind! Much happy stitching to you :)

[@linda_n_leroy]

I laughed at the irony that the caterpillar was eaten on the original sampler 😅. The retreat was great, you all did a fabulous job making sure we had a wonderful time!
How about ‘Mojo’s Merriment Release’?

[@mojostitches8404]

Thanks Linda - the irony was not lost on me either! It was so lovely have you at the retreat :)

[@craftyyams4960]

It was so lovely to meet you! It was my first retreat and I had an awesome time. Already excited about next years stitching in the mountains!
Hm how about Mojo Joy? I’m terrible at naming things 😂

[@mojostitches8404]

I love that Maryam! And it was so wonderful to meet you too!

[@nataliadmitrieva3929]

It is great to see you again in here 😍 I loved the new releases from the moment I saw the posts from the retreat :) You are very talented designer ❤️❤️❤️ Oh, and what about “Joanna’s stitches celebrations” or “Mojo stitches celebrations”? 😁

[@mojostitches8404]

Thanks so much Natalia - you all have such wonderful ideas! And thanks for your kind words :)

[@margaretmccaughey1225]

I thoroughly enjoyed the retreat. It was a wonderful relaxing weekend. How about Celebrations with Joanna or Celebrate Joanna ❤

[@mojostitches8404]

Oh, you're so sweet Margaret! Loved seeing you at the retreat. :)

[@AleKateStitches]

Enjoyed watching you again.
Maybe keeping the name of your annual release simple. Something like Mojos Gift Giving Special Release.
If it’s going to be every year. Maybe throw in the word Annual with ‘Mojos Annual Gift Giving Special Release’.
Seeing as you plan on making it a BDay gifting in reverse.
Whatever you call it. It’s a great idea ❤

[@mojostitches8404]

Thank you lovely!

[@amelialesley]

Loving these designs. How about “Mojo’s Birthday Suite” or “Mojo’s Birthday Suite Stitches”?

[@mojostitches8404]

Love it! You're all so clever!
