[@LuciafromPT]

[@karinmonnich3310]

Love your finishes and your process on your wips. Happy stitching!

[@loriholmes8705]

Happy New Year Christine! Your wreath, Mill Hill Santa, nativity, peppermint treats and cabin are stitching up nicely. I’m going to go watch your Dimensions video next. Woohoo!

[@doreendubois5137]

Loving the wreath and your other projects are looking great. I like your plans going forward and of course, always subject to change. Looking forward to the next update. Happy New Year!

[@quiltingtangent459]

Wonderful seeing your progress.

[@wendysstitching4849]

Beautiful stitching!! You always enable me to work on my dimensions kits🙂 love your videos.

[@sharonmarie66]

I’ve really enjoyed these last 3 vlogs, and can’t wait to see all the lovely things you stitch this year..moonlit cabin is just spectacular..how a thread can create the brightness on those windows is amazing! Have a good week Christine! Look forward to catching up with you at the end of the month ❄️🪡🧵✨

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you!! Happy New Year!

[@kathygarvin5084]

Watching your Dimensions parade for 3rd time. I hope you start Winter on Main Street! Wonderful collection! Happy New Year!

[@calico_whimsy]

Oooo, yes! I just love that one! Maybe if I finish an old wip, I'll start a new kit and that is one on the short list for sure :)

[@stitchinliz]

Such beautiful projects! I love the colors in Holy Nativity.

[@efbauer1264]

I love those Village Christmas Ornaments and I’ve never seen them before. That is a good start because, like you say, each on its own is only a small commitment.

[@thefeltfairie]

Great video to end 2023 and welcome 2024! Everything you stitch is so beautiful - you inspire and enable me at the same time! You got me hooked on Mill Hill and now Dimensions 😂 I really hope you will make the stocking. I know you like the felt ones, but cross stitch is your true love. 🥰

[@calico_whimsy]

❤️ Maybe I will get that stocking started in 2024!

[@StitchinMommy]

Beautiful projects! It will be fun to see the progress you get on your kits this year. Happy New Year! 🥳

[@Cindyscrossstitch]

You ended the year great. Here's to a great 2024🌻🎉 I so enjoyed the video

[@shescraftin2126]

I love your plan to chip away at your WIPS, I love seeing them and you inspire me to do the same thing. Santa had great ideas for your boy’s Christmas. Happy New Year!

[@sml9115]

Your wreath is gorgeous! I just love it, I have yet to start this one, but I’ve enjoyed watching your progress. I think I’ll be starting for my January 2024 project! Thank you! Happy New Year!🎉❤😊

[@jennuhxstitches3729]

That Holy Nativity stitch is beautiful!!!! It's definitely going on my wish list 🤩 I was searching for a good nativity chart this season and didn't feel inspired by any but that one is it! Your back stitching on the wreath is beautiful. Looking forward to seeing it later this year. I'm excited for the 20 years of Santa 😎 🎅. Happy Stitching!

[@owlbestitching8839]

Oh I love all your kits. I have two that you’ve shared but haven’t started them yet. I absolutely love the Holy Nativity, so many beautiful colors. Santa brought lots of goodie’s for you and your family. I see yummy treats! Happy New Years! 🎉

[@farmboyslove980]

You made some great progress on everything you worked on. Congrats on finishing the mill Hill Santa & 3/4th 9f the wreath. Happy new year 🎉!!

[@lindapearson3340]

I am new to your channel and it is so nice to see a face to your voice. This is the first Vlog I have seen. The back stitching is a pain but it makes a huge difference. Today I am getting all my cross stitches out to see how many I have and how much I have done. I am working on Felt Christmas Ordaments and it is slow because it is the first time I am stuffing felt and that is a challenge for me right now. Happy New Year to you and your family.

[@jamiemcdaniel8155]

Great job on your video 👍 ❤

[@LovesRubberstampsNeedleCrafts]

Love those old Santas! A tree filled with those Mill Santas would be beautiful! Dimensions kits are so fun, I need to get some more of mine started aslo. Winter Cabin is so pretty. Have a wonderful New Year! I look forward to watching all your progress and seeing which Mill Hills you chose next :) Happy stitching - Laura

[@calico_whimsy]

Happy New Year, Laura! I hope you are recovering well from your surgery ❤️❤️❤️

[@e.keesey]

I have been debating with myself on the acquisition of the village kit. So far, no spendy.😅 I had no idea that mill hill started doing Santas that far back. They are cute. Happy New Year from my mountain cabin.

[@xstitchinglibrarian]

Happy New Year, Christine. Great Vlog, I loved it. You and I are in sync. I am planning on focusing on my wips in 2024. I have about 13 wips that I'd like to complete in 2024. Like most wips, my wips are at different stages of completion. I'm calling this my #wipdown2024challeng . I look forward to watching your progress. Much love to you and your family.

[@calico_whimsy]

Fantastic plans! Let's keep each other motivated!!

[@FrostyXStitch]

Happy new year and happy stitching 🪡🧵🥰

[@karladenton5034]

I just pulled out one of the "Tree" Santas from this year's Mill Hill. The "Scotch Pine" one, I think. My grandkids got me all three for Christmas! I'm trying to figure out which of the older ones represents my son, DIL and the two grandkids best. And I have to get the 'bell ringer' one for me since I play in a handbell choir. You've made some great progress this month. Happy New Year and all the best in 2024

[@gloriafagan712]

Hi Christine. Super excited to watch this but I'm back to work today so it will be later now 😢. I'll have my pen and paper ready! ❤ Great year of stitching Christine, loving your new Nativity start. Would it please be possible to quickly explain how you stopped your fabric from distorting with half stitches? I'm starting a Dimensions Gold and am worried about that. Happy New Year ❤

[@crumblecrafts2963]

That’s a great fix on the cabin roof, it’s coming on really well. I loved seeing the stockings filled with gifts. They come alive when they are full and all the sequins shimmer in the light.

[@tanuschkaberry8682]

Hall0! 👍🏻❤️

[@gloriafagan712]

Christine, a quick question...can you remember if you stitched your Winter Geese (Dimensions - you couldn't decide on the snow/french knots) on the fabric included with the kit (pale blue) or did you sub it out? Hope you can help xxx

[@mibelloaleman]

Could you please tell me where I can get your wonderfully big Nurge hoop? I would appreciate it. Also, are you concerned that using a hoop will damage the stitching and the fabric? I ask because I worry that they do but I like how taut the fabric is on a hoop. Please advise. Thanks. 🙂🦋🙂🦋🙂🦋

[@vikkipilling]

Hello! Where online can I start collecting the Santa’s? TIA

[@calico_whimsy]

I've seen them on Amazon as well as 123stitch or maybe Etsy and eBay👍 They're still in print so should be no problem finding them

[@efbauer1264]

What is breakfast pizza?

[@calico_whimsy]

There are many variations but here is an example www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/recipes/a43400879/breakfast-pizza-recipe/

[@pamtodd744]

Does it hurt the stitch to put a hoop over them? I have always wanted to use a hoop on bigger projects but was worried about the stitches.

[@calico_whimsy]

I've used hoops for years and have never had it hurt the stitches permanently. You might see some flattening right after you remove the hoop, but they bounce back.
