Thanks for watching Sis! Love you!

[@karriehordyk7269]

Thank you for sharing your finishes and all the helpful tips. I love looking at all your quilts behind you!

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it. I’m so glad everyone isn’t finding all the color behind me distracting. 😁 that’s my favorite wall in the house.

[@HapHazardous]

Happy belated birthday, Jan's mom! I loved all your projects. I've never seen Scared Silly before--it's terrific. Also really liked your fabric selection for Olga's Stocking. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Thank you so much for watching! My Mom reads the comments so she will be so glad to see your Birthday Wish. But I will make certain she sees it. 😁 I’m very glad I chose that fabric for Olga’s Stocking. I was so close with going with the more neutral fabric but went with my gut. So glad I did. Looking forward to chatting more!

[@nannettmcdougal-dykes9339]

Thanks for sharing...alway fun watching....the Amazing Quilt wall behind you is like Eye Candy to this Quilter...please take care and be safe

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Thanks for watching. The big Sloth Quilt was gifted to me by a dear friend. Isn’t it awesome. It brightens the room so much.

[@lisamunchausen7158]

Jan, I enjoyed the previous finishes that you showed. Glad you were able to get your arm repaired. Take care!

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Thank you so much for watching. So glad you enjoyed!

[@stitchingfromgnomecottage141]

Hi Jan, great to catch up with you again! I find listening to you chatting about stitching so relaxing, so thank you for these moments of peace. Beautiful stitching! I love your stocking especially. I’m working on my first dimensions stocking and they are a commitment but I am loving seeing it come to life and all the detail. Glad to hear you are recovering and your mum had a good birthday. Take care and happy stitching. Emily 🧵

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Emily! Wow! Thank you for such kindness. It means so much to me to know I am bringing you a moment of peace. In these stressful times I can’t think of anything better. I’m excited to get this stocking done case I have more waiting in the wings to get started. Thank you for taking the time to make such a wonderful comment ❤️… Jan

[@JaniceAhee]

Love the stockings and your finishes. Janice

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Thank you so much! Now I just need to make sure I stay on that stocking and finish finish it. 😁 thanks for watching.

[@jacquelineboyd1269]

Love your fabric choice for olgas stocking. Now I want to change mine to that color. Delberts stocking is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Hehe! Thank you! The video is showing pretty accurate color. I went back and forth with my fabric choice doubting myself, but I am very glad I went with it. I’m excited to get the stocking finished. It feels so good to complete something. Now to not let it sit in the dreaded under the bed box for 100 years 🤣

Happy Belated Birthday to your precious little Mother❣️ You are so blessed to still have her with you…..I loved ‘Ginger’s Needlework Shop’ and miss it so much… Last time I spoke with Ginger she was working at ‘Needleworks’ in Austin….So happy that you had success removing the screw from your shoulder, pray you continue to heal fast and have no more trouble with it….❤❤❤

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Thanks for the birthday wishes. I will pass that along. I am extremely blessed to still have her. Here brother is 98 so hoping I will get to enjoy her for a while longer. Ginger’s was the best. I went to t Needleworks in Austin a couple years ago and did see her there. They don’t carry much cross stitch though. Thanks for the well wishes on the arm. I’m so ready for it to be back to normal.

[@sylviaashworth5851]

Your wall behind you is so pretty!! I enjoy looking at your pretty quilts. Love the little quilts!! Thank you for sharing where to find the tapered pillow corner video. I will definitely watch that. Appreciate all your tips and sharing information!!

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Thank you so much for watching and admiring my wall of quilts. It just makes me smile when I look it. 😁 hope you find the tutorial on the tapered corners useful. Let me know how it comes out if you give it a try.

[@SarahsStitchySpot]

Love, love, love the finish on scaredy cat. Thanks for keeping me company.

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

You are most welcome! Thank you for watching. Hope things are ok with you and Stan. ❤️

[@kayspencer9989]

Enjoyed watching you while organizing my floss. Didn't get much organizing done because you were doing such a good job enabling me and I had to stop and write things down.. Thanks for a great video! Happy Stitching to you from Montana.

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Haha!! My job here is done. 🤣 So glad you enjoyed! Thank you so much for your kind words.

[@ritadepalatis6366]

What a wonderful birthday surprise for your mom! I'm glad your surgery went well. I loved seeing all your projects but a, very impressed with your sampler on the 56 count. Lol! I think I need to get to Dollar General.

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Mom was so happy. Yeah the 59 ct was a little tough. I won’t say I’ll never do that again, but it probably won’t be my go to. 🤣

[@debbieheyer8271]

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Thank you Denise. Isn’t it fun when you find something so cute that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg! I look forward to seeing you bright and shiny smile on your next flosstube.

[@deborahwatkins1493]

Love your selection of finishes and wips. We have similar tastes. :-)

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

We have good taste. LOL Thanks for watching!

[@gloriafagan712]

Hi Jan, so pleased that your surgery went well. Happy Belated Birthday to your Mom, beautiful photos of your family. Great stitching again this week and it was so interesting to see your finishes. Would you consider doing a showing of your Dimensions kits please? Have a good weekend, sadly that's me all caught up now 😢xxx

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Thank you Gloria! I’ll be back again probably on next Friday. I try to video on Thursday afternoon. I live where we done have really great internet so it takes all night to upload. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I wouldn’t mind doing a kit parade. That could be fun. Thank you for the suggestion. Happy stitching!!

[@gloriafagan712]

@@HoopItUpWithJan0606 That's wonderful news - I shall be looking forward to Friday. xxx

[@iamastitchnerd2312]

Another great video!!! I’m gonna go check out those freebies from Stone Street. Your basket of finishes is sooooo cute!!!!

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Oh! I’m so glad you enjoyed. I would love to know if you found something you wanted to stitch, and love to see your progress on it. Can’t beat a good freebie. 😁

[@angelaloves2stitch]

Hahaha!! I'm glad I watched to the very very end! You are the best!! Another great video!!! I love your bowl from DG with all the smalls..I need to go shopping..no wait! I'm not suppose to but maybe I will anyway..😂

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Haha. You passed the test. I was checking to see if you would watch till the very end. LOL 🤣🤣🤣

[@theinlandseastitcher]

I love Stitch Bliss Corner - she is an awesome stitcher and historian and has beautiful finishes

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Agreed! He pieces are very masterful.

[@shescraftin2126]

Such cute projects! 56 count, yikes, no thanks! I love that you use such a variety of colors. I also don’t stick to one color scheme, it keeps life interesting. Happy stitching.

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Yes yikes on the 56 count. I won’t say never again but it won’t be my go to! 🧐 Too many beautiful colors to try !

[@angelawest5125]

Aww, what a wonderful birthday for your mom! Loved seeing your finishes and WIPs. Both your stockings are beautiful and I'm very curious to see your horses piece evolve

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Thank you so much. It was the best birthday party ever. Celebrating 90 years. Thinking off all the changes she has seen in her life is crazy. Thank you for watching and commenting. This has been an amazing journey getting to connect with so many awesome people and share the love of stitching.

[@janmiller9702]

Thank you for your great video! Lots of info & sights to check out as will share the info with my sister who is a seamstress. And, the the biggest question: would you consider selling BOF: Scared Silly? I thought I had it but cannot find at the moment … I absolutely loved your finish. Looking forward to your next video! Tell your Mother - Happy Birthday from Issaquah, state of Washington.🎉

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Thank you so much for watching. It’s fun sharing stitching. Sorry, I’m hanging on to my Birds of a Feather and Blackbird patterns. You know how they say. Collecting is a total separate hobby. Thank you for the birthday wishes for my Mom. I will pass it on. ❤️

[@janmiller9702]

Thank you for your reply re: BOAF chart scared silly! Hanging onto charts & saving all the Blackbird is my motto, too! I worked at a LNS for eleven years … it was the best job I ever had. Had to leave only because of insurance purposes. Happy stitching!❤

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

@@janmiller9702 oh man! I would not bring home a paycheck if I worked at an LNS. LOL

[@janmiller9702]

I had daycare to pay so I had to curtail the spending. Learned a lot about people & their stitching styles. My Mom was a stitcher so we shared many hours talking & dreaming about pieces … she was a monogamous stitcher. She stitched some models for the shop, too! Take care & waiting for another video. Jan

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

@@janmiller9702 I can so relate to the daycare commitment. Sometimes it seemed like I was working just to pay daycare. But all was good. I used to be monogamous myself. That used to be the fun of going to the LNS. It meant you just finished something and got to go pick out your new project. It was so fun. I just love stitching!!!!

[@jackietrembley9827]

Hi Jan! I’m a new subscriber- sent over to watch you by Brianna Lentz. I like the wide variety of projects you work on. Cog to your Mom on turning 90! That’s fantastic! Do you use any kind of magnification to stitch on the higher count linen? I’m having trouble even seeing the holes on 32 count. (I’m just about 60 and my eyesight has been getting worse the last few months). Looking forward to your next video!

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

So glad you came over and joined me. Brianna Lentz is so awesome. I really admire her. I treated myself to a pair of prescription bifocals specifically for stitching on 40 ct. I took a 40 ct project with me to my eye exam. My doctor measures from where I hold my stitching. But before that I used a magnifying lamp I have had forever. It’s no special brand. Just something someone handed me down. Look forward to visiting in the future.

Thank you so much! Thanks for watching Audrey!!

[@peterbrown2305]

Jan, was the shop Ginger’s in Austin, Texas? There was a shop by that name when we lived in Austin. It was in the Cameron Village Shopping Center off of I35. I am slowly stitching an old piece by Mosey and Me. I bought the pattern and the linen for it back in the 90s at the Georgetown Quilt Show. Where do you live?

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Yes. Ginger’s was in Austin. Right near Capital Plaza. Mosey ‘N Me is awesome. Judy & Frank were so much fun. I was sad to hear about his passing. I live in Burnet County.

[@peterbrown2305]

I had not heard about his passing. I did not ever get to know them. We moved from Austin to Lampasas in 2004 and are happy we did !@@HoopItUpWithJan0606

Hi Jan. You’ve just passed on the enabling. I ordered two of the Native American books on Amazon, one for me and one for my sister. They are used in good condition and were only $18 for both including shipping. Emma has a sal going. Do you want to join? I need to look closely at the pattern when I get it. I might leave off the border and moon background. I would like a wall of beautiful girls from around the world. I already have an African piece that is almost finished. Thanks for the back stitching vs. couching tip. I’ll watch that video today. I don’t know how to backstitch but as an embroiderer I’ve done couching. Ann (Selfish Stitcher)

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Haha!!! Awesome. How have I never seen that book. Let me tell you that you won’t be sorry. It’s worth it for just the Maiden but there are other projects in these I want to do.
