The positivity wall is an excellent name and idea. Started This Is The Day. Your stitches are fantastic!❤

@HoopItUpWithJan0606 10 месяцев назад

This is the Day is such a wonderful stitch. Enjoy!

@SarahsStitchySpot 10 месяцев назад

What a joy to see Tom’s Foolery again. I also loved the reading light. Very cool. Thanks for sharing your beautiful stitching, Jan.

@HoopItUpWithJan0606 10 месяцев назад

Thank you Sarah! And to those like you that showed us how to be brave and just dive into the flosstube waters. It’s so much fun.

⁠ I am so glad you are enjoying your FlossTube journey. I completely forgot to thank you for showing the lasso method. Great tip.

@wandamccoll3739 10 месяцев назад

I love your finished pieces!!! This I Know and This is the Day are both beautiful and you have made me want to pull them out and start them! Tom Foolery is such a great sampler! A positivity wall is a great idea! Thanks so much and happy stitching!

@HoopItUpWithJan0606 10 месяцев назад

@karriehordyk7269 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for the lasso trick. It was good to see someone stitching Teresa’s angles, I love them but was intimidated by them. Now I will try one knowing how beautiful they are.

@HoopItUpWithJan0606 10 месяцев назад

Oh good! You can do an Angel. Just one stitch at a time. It’s confetti but just take it slow. Enjoy each stitch and so t get in a hurry and you’ll do fine! Thank you so much for watching. 😁

@kade1699 10 месяцев назад

@HoopItUpWithJan0606 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for joining me. I can’t wait to hang the newly framed ones on the wall. I have always been one to stitch and put them in that dreaded under the bed box never to be seen again. Feels so good to begin to get some things actually displayed.

@conniesiefken4696 10 месяцев назад

I really enjoyed the variety of projects you showed today, Jan. I'm anxious to see a full ornament tree. Also like your idea for a positivity wall.

@HoopItUpWithJan0606 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for watching. It’s so great to get to connect with folks like you that are passionate about stitching. You’re so welcome about the Lasso tip. Funny how we forget little things like that. Hopefully I can think of any other tricks I use to share. But for now that’s all I came up with. Haha. Thanks again for watching and hope to see you again soon.

Thank you so much! I am ready to get the last back stitching done so I can finish it. It will look so cute with my Christmas stuff.

@afreespirit1 10 месяцев назад

A positivity wall is a great idea and Stacy Nash's Be Kind Sampler would be a good addition to it. I've been using the lasso technique for a long time. For me it works perfectly and the tool is always at your fingertips! Sometimes I leave the little piece of thread loose and cover it with the next stitches sort of like the Waste Knot technique in reverse.

@HoopItUpWithJan0606 10 месяцев назад

Oh yes. Great idea on the Be Kind Sampler. That you so much. I have added to my list. I want to try the waste knot on my fill coverages. I have always just taken care of the treads as I go. I need to try that!

@jackietrembley9827 10 месяцев назад

Hi Jan! I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving with your family. I had to laugh because I read the title of this episode and thought you were going to show us how to Lasso a cow! But it turns out the lassoing was of thread, which was very informative as I’m always playing thread chicken, lol! Have a wonderful couple of weeks.

@HoopItUpWithJan0606 10 месяцев назад

@annm8680 10 месяцев назад

Hi Jan. Thanks for the reminder of the lasso method. I saw a video by Jean Farrish about two years ago but I had forgotten. I also use a self threading needle that is split on the top. I like the idea of putting wips on slips of paper and picking one. I love them all so it is difficult at times for me to decide which one to pull out. I have more like 20 going. I’d like to whittle them down to a dozen. I am on vacation right now. My plan is to start Indian Maiden when I get back. My fabric came from Burgaria the day before I left. It has a beautiful sunset background I think will be perfect behind her. I just didn’t want to start it on vacation. I’ll be posting on Instagram, of course.

@HoopItUpWithJan0606 10 месяцев назад

Oh Boy! That’s exciting. I have a fabric to use on the Maiden but ordered all the floss and beads. There is so much I want to start. How will I ever get my current wips done if I don’t focus on them and keep starting new stuff? 🤦🏻‍♀️

@HoopItUpWithJan0606 10 месяцев назад

Haha. Quilters use it to hide threads as well and that’s what the person that showed me said it was called. Sounded good to me. 🤣 Thank you for watching.

@HapHazardous 10 месяцев назад

Great episode! I loved all your work. I was never really drawn to Teresa Kogut's angel, but seeing it close up like that really made me say, "Wow!" Same with Tom's Foolery. Seeing your finish made all the difference. (And on 46 ct?!) I play thread chicken all the time so I knew about that trick, but never knew it had a name. Lasso is perfect. I've had one of the neck lights for about a week. It's been really helpful, but mine doesn't seem to hold a charge as long as I'd like, and seems to take a long time to recharge. I didn't think to just get two and switch off. Doh! 😆 Thanks again. Take care.

@HoopItUpWithJan0606 10 месяцев назад

Those 2 projects are serious stitching. Teresa’s Angels are no joke. But they are so beautiful when stitched. If I can just keep making some progress here and there I will finally finish it some day. Lasso is what the person that showed me how to use it while free motion quilting called it. So that’s what I call it. 😁 I wasn’t sure how long the charge would last on those lights. I planned for the worst. My stitching sessions last for hours when I can do I wanted to make sure I could see. 🤓 Thanks for watching and commenting. Engaging with the people make it so worth it. I am absolutely loving visiting with everyone. So thank you!

@michaelbass2185 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing the tutorial re: the Lasso trick. (Could have used this technique earlier today!) I'll definitely use this going forward. Btw, I've always loved your recent FFO "Tom's Foolery" ... so colorful and whimsical! I am a monogamous stitcher and gravitate toward designs that use one (or very few) floss colors. I might have to challenge myself and begin the "foolery"!

@HoopItUpWithJan0606 10 месяцев назад

I was a monogamous stitchers back when I first started stitching. That’s just what we did back then. Part of the fun of finishing one was to go shopping for the next project. We didn’t have a such a think as stash. You should try Tom’s Foolery. It is fun to try different things. But be aware I wasn’t kidding when I said it is full of little doodads everywhere. Not much negative space. But it is a very fun stitch. BTW. I said the wrong designer for it. It’s should have been Hands across the sea. Thank you watching and commenting !
