Was great cruising with you and benefitting from your talent. Have been stitching Flosstube at Sea design, and absolutely love the thread colors and your design. Your Market designs are equally beautiful. Thanks for sharing all that you offer. Congrats to Mike on his publishing.
Hi Jan! I am in love with your new red sampler “Arabesque” !! It is stunning!! 👏🏻👏🏻. I have never stitched a red sampler and this will be my choice for sure!! Your other designs are very nice also as usual! Have a great week ahead! Cheers. 🧑🏻🦰🇨🇦🥰
Just wanted to say hi and thanks Jan as I've just spent the morning re watching your videos while doing an exam for my masters... You're such a calming influence 😊
Hi Jan! Hope this finds you and Mike well. Congrats to Mike on having his book nearly ready to be published. Follow the Sun is fabulous. I love the petunias especially as you rarely see them in stitching. The postcard sized designs based on your travels sound like so much fun. Love all your Florigraphica II Designs to date. Love the red thread you used on Arabesque. The alphabet is so gorgeous all by itself. Excellent design! Have a wonderful time at Market. Tell Mike to get those fish to cooperate! Dawn in Texas
When you held up the German sampler I kept saying, “Jan, it’s upside down! But finally I realized that lamb is supposed to be that way. 😂 Absolutely LOVE the colors in that one! Looking forward to seeing your cruise video.
It was so good to see you! We didn’t see Mike, I hope you haven’t left him on the side of the road yet. lol. I’m so envious of all the places you are going. Have a prosperous Nashville Market. ❤
Love all your designs but I have my eye on Arabesque. The alphabet is amazing ! Have fun in your travels. Can’t wait to see your cruise video. Safe travels!!
Hi My Friend!! ::big huge hugs:: Sooo good seeing you today!! No poop on you! 🤭 Congratulations Mike!! 🎉🎉🎉 I’m totally in for stitching your BAP and all of your designs!! Hahaha ❤️🥰❤️🥰
I was excited and thrilled to see you had posted a new FlossTube!! Purple is my favorite color, so you know I fell in love with African Daisy! I love red samplers, so Arabesque is also a favorite. Love the alphabet!
Your designs for the Nashville Needlework Market 2024 are EXQUISITE! My only concern is that my stitching skills might not be up to the level these designs require. As an aside, you have a voice that I could listen to forever--both cultured and soothing. Thank you for sharing for immense talents with the stitching community!!!
Wow 🤩 beautiful hand work 👍you always have out done your self 🤩 Love ❤️ the red sample and Thank for making something different 🤗 Please continue your creative journey won music and photography in your life journey Thank you for sharing 😊 stay blessed and healthy 🙏🙏🙏✌️
Jan,absolutely love your intro. I'm heading to Sassy Jack's for a class mid-March and look forward to adding these to my collection. LOVE the red sampler - yours will be my 1st.
Enjoy your time at Market and I can’t wait to hear all about it after your return. Such a serene atmosphere behind you. Love it! Ps. Beautiful projects thx for sharing.
All your new releases are just beautiful. I want them all, but am working on your Mexican Sampler. Just love all the colors. Thank you for introducing me to Vicki Clayton silks. They are wonderful to work with. Take care. P.S. is your kitty going with you to market this year?
Have fun at Market. It was so nice to meet you at Creative Needleworks in Gulf Shores. You are delightful! I love your new patterns! Laura is outstanding!
Time to subscribe! I have been looking for a monochromatic stitch for a while. Arabesque fits the bill perfectly! Deep greens and blues are my usual choice but this beautiful clear red is calling to me ! I’m looking for a silk with a long slow subtle color change to render Arabesque in. Any suggestions? I am also enchanted with the African daisy! I usually don’t “ manipulate “ color changes… but I’m going to give it a try. I’ll be at the Philadelphia flower show in March. I’ll be looking for some inspiration to play with color! I really enjoy following your travels, Jan, thank you!
Hi Jan, Love the red Sampler will it be a paper pattern? I am piercing oan paper for Creative Embroidery Christmas cards while visiting with you today. Tonight after dinner will be Jane Fiddes . Congratulations Mike oan yer new book. Together we count.
Lovely to see you and your beautiful new releases. If only I could stitch all the things; and not be concerned about expense and time. 🤣. I finally am getting organized with glasses, lighting, and fabric count after my cataract surgery. It should be easier for me. I think my favorites are Florigraphica 3 ( but I haven’t done 1 and 2) and Arabesque (red sampler). I will have to see as I have a couple of yours as wips (in my WIPGO FOR ‘24).🤦🏼♀️And I am behind on that already and it’s only February 😢 Looking forward to whatever video you do next to show us all you have been doing. What genre books does Mike write? I did not realize he was a writer ✍️…..I love to read. Continued safe travels 🤗
It’s always good to start with smaller projects, to get the feel of it and have that feeling of accomplishment sooner. So I would recommend Fall Sunshine. One of the other great things about Fall Sunshine is that it has big patches of the same color, so you don’t have to change your thread color often. I do have a series of videos called Basics of Cross Stitch. If you haven’t watched that yet, you might find it useful. You can find a link to that playlist in my show notes. Enjoy and let me know if you have any questions!
No, it wasn’t upside down, though some of the motifs are. There are ones upside down and sideways all over this sampler. I believe the stitcher turned her fabric so she could reach some of the spots better to fit motifs in.
@@mrsmiggins6435 Oh, no worries! I didn’t take it as such. I get asked that all of the time. One of my other recent reproductions, Colors of Mexico, also has elements that are upside down. It really bothers them and I just tell them to feel free to flip those elements around when they stitch it!

So happy to see you posting another flosstube video. I have missed you.
Awesome new pieces. And yes, I will be stitching CRS 1713 and have already ordered my 46 count fabric. Can't wait to start this beauty!!!

I am absolutely IN LOVE with Arabesque! I live Vikki's silks and can't wait to get a big bunch of red and go to town!

Oh nice! I was so hoping that she would be open by the time we get up there, but it wasn’t to be for this trip.
Beautiful pieces Jan.

Thank you for sharing I’m a new stitcher which one would you recommend that would be easy to stitch? 😊
It’s always good to start with smaller projects, to get the feel of it and have that feeling of accomplishment sooner. So I would recommend Fall Sunshine.

Wonderful charts Jan. Was the German sampler you showed upside down? Maybe i wasn't see it correctly. Stay safe🤗🇬🇧
No, it wasn’t upside down, though some of the motifs are. There are ones upside down and sideways all over this sampler. I believe the stitcher turned her fabric so she could reach some of the spots better to fit motifs in.
Thank you for replying Jan, it wasn't meant to be rude it just looked a bit strange that's all. Take care
@@mrsmiggins6435 Oh, no worries! I didn’t take it as such. I get asked that all of the time. One of my other recent reproductions, Colors of Mexico, also has elements that are upside down. It really bothers them and I just tell them to feel free to flip those elements around when they stitch it!
