Hi Carolyn. Thank you for filming. Enjoy your work trip! 🪡⚘️

[@debneal4996]

Glad to hear you enjoyed your visit with your friends. I always enjoy your videos and your stitching. I admire those who can stitch on several projects at a time. I am a monogamous stitcher. I enjoy seeing the completed design as much as stitching it! I'm not ready to think about Santa yet! 😂 Safe travels my friend! ❤🪡

[@joyceandrewes9178]

Sounds like you had a great time with your friends. I love Santa. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@nannettmcdougal-dykes9339]

Santa is to cute, looks like a postcard....please take care and be safe...the card is amazing...

[@sharonwilliams6787]

Love the photo montage. The santa card is adorable.

[@MoniMerel]

Thank you for this lovely video. And a bonus flip through of the card booklet. That looks like a lot of fun! Have a good trip this week and till the next time. I am looking forward to that.... 😺

[@annemousseau8757]

Floss organization is ok. Postcard to friends is fun. Glad you enjoyed your friends. Have fun in Oregon.

[@lindameeks5228]

Those pics of Oregon are so pretty. I love Tillamook products.

[@mihaela.929]

I wonder if I am the only one who stitches far less in summertime than in wintertime. This is the second year I barely get any stitching done in June. You seem to be pretty busy now, so you could perhaps know the feeling. The rescued pieces are really nice. This first one made me think of Scarlett and Rhett. Happy stitching and happy ... travelling!

[@buckeyestitcher3180]

Can’t believe you were back in Cincy! Hope you had a good trip and are getting caught up on sleep. Happy Summer☀️🕶️

[@rosamoulton9775]

[@lynncordova8169]

Tillamook Chocolate Mudslide ice cream is the best!!!! I am glad you had a great time with your friends. You are going to need a vacation from your vacation. Lol.

[@maryavaux2038]

You are a busy busy lady. I always enjoy hearing about your activities and stitching. I enjoy making a card for a special occasion. Enjoy your work trip.

[@dawngurin5954]

I was so happy to hear you had a great week and are pooped as heck. LOL... You are like an old friend who I so enjoy hearing from you every week. Be safe on your work trip, and take time for some down time, if you can.

I enjoy your videos. Thank you. I don’t think I will stitch a Santa in July, maybe September.

[@normajeansicard4842]

Hi Carolyn! Glad you enjoyed the time with your friends! I hope you got a nice nap today :). We are in a heat wave over here. It felt like 105 today. Hot outside but I'm drinking coffee out of my "Let it Snow" mug....LOL!!!! Have a safe trip! Happy Stitching!

[@susanbooth551]

It was fun to hear of your adventures with your friends! The dunes sound very exhilarating and a little scary! But my son and daughter would love it! I understand the fatigue that sets in when company comes and you want to keep up with everyone! I’ve got 12 family and friends coming to our cabin for our 16th annual 4th of July gathering…staying for 6 days…cleaning and getting ready! Fully finished 4th of July Rules and a cute pillow. Wanted to get more done, but you know how that goes! Love seeing all your projects, and particularly love Teresa Kogut’s Santa in the star. So cute! Enjoy your summer!!

[@sugarplumstitcher]

I enjoyed the brag table video from Stitch-Con but I think I forgot to comment ...... oops! I always enjoy all your videos. Hope you have a nice work trip. Happy stitching.

[@doviecrofutt7344]

I dreamt you found me in the airport in Cincy, told me I couldn't leave StitchCon without dancing. 😂 Weekend B, still having jet lag. Postcard collecting is my oldest hobby.

[@rebeccadilworth2585]

Hooray For Santa!!! 😊

[@susanstohlman5418]

Every Saturday I look forward to your video!

[@beckymcnabb4501]

Santa, Card, Sea Thanks for another great video.

[@heden1460]

`The pictures were nice. My daughter will usually buy a postcard, or two or three, when we our at different places. She collects them...particularly if they are ones that were sent to someone.

[@carolineworkinprogress4911]

Santa; postcard; card; sea. The dolphin and whale samplers are vintage:-)

[@SoggyDoggyStitcher]

I envy you and your month off of work! Enjoy! Card

[@cynthiadryden9393]

Santa, love Santa. Thanks.

[@virpir2453]

*postcard* *card* Thank you for a great flosstube.

[@stitchinglonestar6362]

Sounds like a fun visit. I can’t go like I used to and get worn out doing things with guests. It’s worth it though 😊. Santa card cards

[@georgiemcdougle9064]

I hope you can get some fun time on your work trip. Be safe. Santa, postcard, and card.

[@lisao8158]

I like seeing your upcoming plans. I really admire stitchers who do full coverage. The cards are so cute.

[@DonnaH_xs]

You folks know how to fill in and spend time together! I got tired just listening! ;-) ~ card ~ sea ~

[@lee-annbender5515]

Thank you so much for the squirrel chart

[@LowanaJ]

Sounds like you and your friends had a great time.

[@loftymakes]

Love your videos, really need to catch up! I'm glad you had a lovely time with friends, I'd be exhausted too! Santa 💗

[@craftsohard]

Love your updates. Thanks for posting. Postcard

[@marygillmarten6758]

Hello Carolyn! Your visit with your friends sounded so fun! You get extra points for finding something a teenager wants to do/enjoys!! I really enjoy seeing what you are stitching because I enjoy what you stitch, thanks for sharing! I'm looking forward to a little Christmas in July stitching, maybe a Santa card pattern, definitely a grandson's stocking; as well as a patriotic start -- I'm finally going to start One Nation (I hope). I LOVE your seasonal montage pieces btw, but they are so huge and so ambitious -- makes you my hero!

[@michaeljones4380]

Carolyn! Greetings from Dallas! Fun video! I enjoyed hearing about your travels with your friends. I’ve actually been to the Tillamook Cheese factory there in Oregon. We have their cheese and ice cream here in Texas and it is great! Postcard. Thanks so much!!!

[@CrombieTX]

The second vintage cross stitch you showed is Folk Art Farm CROSS STITCH "The Country Sunset". There are a few on E-Bay with auction prices of $29 - $39. Santa

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you!

[@yvonnevigil7489]

Carolyn , hello dear. Love everything . Take care. The rose looks beautiful Montage one.

[@iriscope6798]

Sounds like you had a good time with your friends.

[@joyd5000]

Such lovely stitching! I have a Santa or two kitted up and ready to begin stitching in July.

[@kimpembleton2683]

Thanks for another great video, Carolyn! Your visit with your friends sounded like so much fun! But why didn’t you send me a postcard??? lol ♥️ Kim from Canada 🇨🇦

[@danasimmons8597]

Santa postcard is a great idea.

[@KayeTaylorE]

That month off will be great, maybe you can get rested up from all the trips and company. Stitchy time! Card

[@shamancarmichael5305]

Hi Carolyn, so happy to be back to watching your flosstube! Sorry to have missed so much, life and health got complicated for a bit, but things are back on track again. While you are away in Cincinatti, I will catch up on all the episodes I've missed! 😂 See you in July!!

[@deborahgoethe362]

That rose Is beautiful

[@catherinelaurent5219]

Hi Carolyn: So happy you had a great time with your visitors, I would be afraid of a shadow after taking out the words, love the name frozen margarita, beautiful threads. Bitty club sounds like a fun idea, hopefully they will do it again next year, I do not think it is morbid I think it is a great idea, I just love the silhouette framed design, so lovely, congratulations to the winners. Santa, love SummerMontage, nice progress, Carolyn, you are working on some large projects.

[@britches__get__stitches]

It's a fabulous day when I get to watch an update from you!

[@susanbarnes1385]

How did our lives ever get so busy?? I think of vintage as 40-50 years old but Google says 20-100 years. 🤷🏻‍♀️. Hope you have a great trip. I’m looking at Christmas gift buying too. Never too early for Santa to get started. Or at least get a card ready.

[@sunrise49738]

Hi sweet friend! Beautiful pictures at the beginning of the video and, yes, I want the kitten! Congrats on getting the stars done on e pluribus unum. Looking forward to seeing Summer Montage come out to play. Still dealing with the after fire stuff, which is flaring up my sinuses again even though the repeat CT showed improvement but not totally cleared up. The CT was taken before the fire and breathing in all the crap in the air of our apartment despite 2 noisy huge HEPA air cleaners and a super dehumidifier which has caused my bedroom temperature to stay above 80 degrees every day. Still no word on when the crew is coming in to clean the vents, walls, ceilings and now the floors due to the water damage and the nasty stuff that was in the fire hoses. I cleaned the floors with 2 buckets for each 4 sq ft of floor space of ammonia and water so that Walter could at least play on the floor without the residue since the residue would not sweep up. Between that and looking for a house to move to in towns over an hour away, I have completely lost my stitching urge, having only stitched one day for less than an hour. Not sleeping well at all. Baby is still traumatized from the fire situation with us not being home, then going to Kristal's for 2 days and coming home to all these machines running. Of course the management office of the apartments closed early on Wednesday and won't be back open until 7/8. I am so far behind on everything. Hope you are catching up on your sleep and enjoy your work trip. Love and hugs to you and the boys. Take care. Dawn

[@elinorrebibo822]

Love your stitching this week! Especially summer montague ! I am currently stitching bear cards for some reason😅 Postcard Card

[@joyceclowser3371]

So glad you had a wonderful time with your friends! Love your vintage stitches you picked up at the antique store. I used to stitch this type back in the 80’s. They were called silhouettes. Sorry I don’t know the pattern name. They are really pretty! I am going to start stitching my grandkids Christmas ornaments in July. I am sure there will be a Santa or two in the mix. I used to send a card with a cross stitched saying. I think it would work for a postcard, too. Happy stitching! Hugs!❤

[@patriciawalters2227]

I hope your battery gets recharged on your month off! I can't wait to see your progress on Summer Montage. I am starting the Jan Lynn kit. Santa, card

[@jacquelineleibfried4691]

Sounds like you had a great visit with your friends. Santa. Have a good time in Cinc. Hopefully you can squeeze in a visit to KeepSakes.

[@Linda_James]

Postcard is my favorite 🤩

[@amandaallen8945]

I’d love to see how you organize your floss.

Oh I hope you get a finish:) postcard, card

[@denisegray9106]

I love the sea.

[@lindadulin174]

Hello Carolyn, I really enjoyed flosstube this week. I know how tiring having guests who always want to go, go, go is. I think I will send an early card to Santa and ask him to send us some cooler weather!!! I live in Texas, but today it was 95 degrees in the shade!!! Yeesh that is too hot for me!! Thank goodness for air conditioning!! Enjoy Your business trip. Take care, be safe and as always, GOD BLESS. Linda

[@susanmarit5365]

Love your tee shirt HAPPY STITCHING 🧵🪡🧵🐱

Love your progress on your wips. Nice pictures at the beginning. Happy stitching! Santa

[@craftingwithneena2862]

Santa Love your you tubes!!

[@Craftywithwords]

E Pluribus looks fantastic with or without the words! That's just a gorgeous piece. I tell my estate planning clients to put stickies on the bottom of the pieces that have specific recipients at their death. I bet those bequeath stickers would work! I'm so glad you had fun while your friends were in town. Have a wonderful trip!!

[@kathrynbaker-gago5942]

Always a good visit with you while I’m stitching 😊 Santa, Card

[@elizabethswhatsup]

Hi, I’m new to your channel and loved to watch your videos. SANTA

[@ThePajamaStitcher]

Santa, Sea. You did not dream it, lol. Check your email, I re-sent it. Thank you so much. I grew up on the West coast and seeing the pictures of the ocean made me homesick. I'm so glad you got to spend some time with your friends. Sand duning is so much fun! We used to go in our pick up truck.

[@TheStitchingOwl]

A do like to receive a pretty postcard or card with the picture of the sea. I am glad you had fun with your friends. Will there be a magazine monthly zoom next weekend?

[@stitching_geri]

Lovely to see you today. Thank you for the video. Has been very hot here in Ontario, but cooling off. Santa, card

[@lizzybizzy3017]

Hi Carolyn! How exciting your trip down the coast sounded. I love the Oregon coast. My mom would take us camping at Beachside state park near Waldport. I continue the tradition as often as I can. We love the yurts. 😊 And the dunes in Florence! Love. Did you guys ride the BIG wheel one that looks like a bus? Or the smaller faster one? The guides are always super careful and knowledgeable about the dunes, at the same time packing in adventure and an adrenaline fueled ride. One time I made the mistake of putting on chapstick before we left, and at the end I had sand crusted allllll over my mouth and in my teeth. It was bad. Lol😅 The beach is my happy place. I sit and fly my kite for hours while my hubby builds sand castles. 😊 I wouldn’t stitch there though, too dirty and windy sometimes. I can’t wait to see your progress on Summer montage. Happy stitching!

[@lindaklinedinst9236]

Hi Carolyn Glad that you had a great time with your Friends. Those two Framed Stitched Pictures that you showed that you got at a Thrift Shop - I am not positively sure but they kinda look like Diane Grabner Patterns because her Patterns were all done in Black. I got some of her Patterns and they look like something that would would do. I love all of your WIPS - they are pretty. I love the Sea - I love the Whales and the Dolphins. Have A Safe Trip and have fun. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵✂️☕️🐾🐱🐾❤️
