Hello ladies, I enjoyed seeing your wips and the projects you worked on this year. I’m glad you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving day. I had a beautiful thanksgiving day. I spent the day cooking and feeding my family. I am going to try to participate in your December event. I hope I can meet the prompts. God bless you both. See you next time.

[@suncitystitchers7793]

Great! We are working to keep the prompts general enough that everyone will be able to join in…we are looking forward to seeing your projects!

[@debrachewning1311]

I can't wait to see your finish of the Fairy Tale Sampler. So many beautiful new to me too designers.

[@suncitystitchers7793]

I haven’t decided how I’m going to finish it. Did you frame yours?

[@debrachewning1311]

@suncitystitchers7793 no, made it into that quilt like hanging.

[@maryannbaker9960]

Lovely video as always! So filled with cheer and inspiration! I’m doing the Jingle Ball this year-my first time and it’s so exciting! You both have such great projects and beautiful finishes. When you mentioned your Norwegian heritage, it reminded me that I studied virtually, for three years with a Master Knitter in Norway via Zoom. I was taught traditional Kofte and stranded knitting. Also, Patricia shared Norwegian recipes and holiday traditions.

[@suncitystitchers7793]

We need to explore those knitting techniques. That’s so interesting. We love Christmas traditions from around the world.

[@inapupo3308]

Loved the way you have stuck to your goals this year with 24 houses in ‘24 and the new to me designers. I look forward to seeing what you have in store for 2025. You’re both inspirations.

Hi ladies, I very much enjoyed seeing all the beautiful projects that you've been stitching on and seeing your finishes. It was so fun to see your parade of finishes from the new designers that you've worked on this past year. I quite often don't comment because I don't want to be entered in your share, but I always feel bad because I always want to comment nonetheless and tell you how much I love all of your videos. I never miss watching you and always look forward to your updates. I wish that you would offer up and choose a key word for your shares so that it would make it easier for me and others to comment. Please don't include me in your share this time around either, but I just wanted to write and tell you how much I always enjoy watching your videos. I'm so glad you had a wonderful thanksgiving and hope you enjoy the rest of your visit with your family.

[@suncitystitchers7793]

@@lorrainebergstrom9391 it’s so wonderful to hear from you! We have a few viewers request not to be included in the share--a key word would be a great idea to help with that. Thank you for mentioning it. Have a great weekend.

Hi ladies 😊 Have a wonderful couple of weeks stitching! I'm going to the Jingle Ball for the Festive Forest class, but I'm not sure if I'll be partaking in other activities. It's what I'm trying to focus on stitching at the moment.

[@GrandmaKimberly]

Cecilia's Samplers in Branson has this pattern still. I bought a copy 2 weeks ago. She has an online website and you can also call her. She is the best...the website is a small amount of what she offers. Also she has tons of models including 5 completed Hawk Run samplers!!

[@suncitystitchers7793]

We visit Cecilia’s Samplers every time we are in Branson. It is a fabulous shop!

[@Jayne22]

Hello Ladies. I enjoyed the run-through of the new to me designers. It was very informative and I spotted a few I am interested in. I am currently creating a wedding sampler thing from scratch, so I drafted alphabets and other bits and I am now seeing how it stitches. Wish me luck please. I did 😅when you said you had ordered threads but they could not travel alone. Hello kitty 😺 I enjoy watching all the versions of Miracle on 34th Street. 😊

I just love all the stitching you two do. I am going to start January 1st, Anniversaries of the Heart. So I have a question for you guys: Where did you get the large piece of material. I'm really having a hard time trying to find something big enough.

We ordered our fabric from Nancy. We stitched ours on 32 count fabric.
