[@catherinelaurent5219]

So happy the fires stayed away from you and no lives or buildings were lost. Great stitching progress, love your new stash, I need to get the calendar, love the designs, what an amazing lady to send you so much she is very generous. Virtual hugs to you.

What a cute purple spring pattern! The world needs more purple... Love the immortal piece.

[@pvacha8278]

Love your projects. Spring, Glass, March and Bird. Love to see Simon again!

[@lindastitzlein5237]

So glad the wildfire near you didn't get out of control! ( I cannot imagine how a wildfire situation would feel....) The Keepsakes calendar is adorable - and I agree with your choice of the best pattern/ month! And I must say that a glass window with a spring March bird is stunning! Happy stitching!!

[@nannettmcdougal-dykes9339]

Glass is amazing...spring is gone and summer is here...March is amazing....the bird is wonderful... please take care and be safe

Hi. Thanks for the videos. Glass, Spring, March, Bird. Happy stitching!

[@lindadulin174]

I always enjoy your flosstube. You stitching is gorgeous and I love the enabling that You offer. I am on their mailing list,for the book and the calendar. I have not gotten the book yet, but I absolutely love their calendars, so I hope they will offer it to me. I hate to wash my windows in the spring, but clear glass makes it easier to see the birds that returnin March. Take care, be safe, and as always, GOD BLESS. Linda

[@CindyEsler_Whodatgrammycrafts]

Thanks for sharing your stitching. I love a good bird stitch.

[@pigmor]

Thank you for sharing. I live in Sweden and the summer has not been so great, more like autumn, cold and a lot of rain, so I am already looking forward to next year with a beautiful spring. Happy stitching. ❤

[@iriscope6798]

I laugh when you said you are a news junkie. So am I and I have missed it during the Olympics. I love your progress on Summer Montage. Happy stitching.

[@dianemcclure6884]

Thanks for sharing the calendar! I loved the glass vase with the colorful spring flowers. Bird march❤

[@coisadevobordados]

Great stitching progress! I'm glad that you're safe! Here in Brazil we're getting ready to welcome Spring!

[@lorrainebergstrom9391]

Your wips are looking so great and your Summer Montage looks amazing. I hope you have a fun time this week stitching with your friend. I love the bird charts from the magazine too.

[@joyd5000]

Loved seeing all your beautiful stitching.

[@karinmonnich3310]

Love your progress on your wips. Happy stitching! Glass

[@lindameeks5228]

March,Spring.I love those bird bouquets in the Crossstitcher magazine. This was such a nice visit, I'm in love with that rose on your summer montage

[@julieharden158]

Glass, bird. Thank you so much for your great KZbin. I love seeing all of your beautiful projects and your gorgeous fur baby. I’m pleased your wildfire didn’t get to you and that everyone was ok. Being from Australia ( although I live in the U.K) I know all about bushfires and how horrendous they can be. Enjoy your week. Love and blessing xx

[@sofialucero3821]

I received my 2025 calendar, and it's great! Janet is so generous. I especially like the glass and spring charts.

[@MoniMerel]

Thank you for the lovely flosstube. You are right, you are enabling..... This fall my garden will be updated so I can really enjoy spring and summer next year. I will plant a tree in the middle of my garden, so I will have shade when the days are too hot! And I hope a bird or two will love the fruits that it will bring. See you next week 🤗

[@micheleilton5527]

Thank you for the flip through of the calendar....so many beautiful projects. Its still winter here in NZ so I'm currently enjoying a glass of peppermint tea. ❤

[@carolomer4171]

The calendar has some really good patterns! Glass, Spring, March, bird

[@huzzahfancypants2023]

Oh so much kindness!! I love the bird 💗

[@RejeanneCote-f8e]

Birds. I have been cross stitching for just a little bit now and still have more to learn and am enjoying your video , thank you

[@lynnettekinney3355]

I know who coming to visit you!! You need to make a floss tube together!!! Love all the things your stitching!!

[@nancybareiss7769]

So good to see you. Awesome progress..love the rose. I'm going the 2nd weekend to GaRon so will miss you.

[@AmyEV1020]

Love you work. Stitching bird is my favorite.

[@kimsopar6976]

Lovely to see you again Caroline. Such lovely generous gifts you received! I have Maggie the Messmaker waiting in my stash (working on Frederick the Literate at the moment and I'll start Maggie when I'm finished). The stained glass pattern is very cute - and the Spring one is lovely. The bird designs are so lovely too. Why are there so many gorgeous designs & so little time!!!!

[@jillannjohnson2290]

I really like the calendar! How nice that the patterns are in a separate book! Glass, bird

[@KimberlyL1958]

Great video Carolyn! I loved the walk-through. Love all your projects.🌺🌷❤️💕

[@ajborthwick7239]

You’re making such good progress on your projects- can’t wait to see them finished:) spring bird

[@suzannemoffitt137]

I always love catching up with you. Great progress on your projects. See you next time

[@TheStitchingOwl]

Stained glass patterns are so lovely! Great video Carolyn.

[@carolynmiller0424]

I love immortal. That is true about all of us. Summer seemed to fly by, and I'm sure everyone is happy to have cooler days. I hope you have a wonderful year filled with excited students. I have less than 25 starts....I need to SPRING into action & step up my game.😉

[@charlottegaskins2982]

I love stained glass work. I could spend hours looking at historic and church stained glass pieces. Spring and march would be wonderful to stitch up. For some reason I do more christmas for seasonal pieces. Enjoy all your progress.

[@CrombieTX]

Those birds on the teacups are adorable! I love to see a bird in March - or any month in Spring ......

[@keithsusanstone2777]

Spring grass can look like pretty glass in March. Enjoy your summer montage.

[@maryjodolphin9759]

Love your KZbin and spring flowers

[@terrimucitelli9510]

What a generous gift! I love sitting outside in the Spring with a glass of iced tea watching my bird feeders! Love your flosstube and I never miss one!

[@rosamoulton9775]

Love your progress the glass bird is lovely I love Spring

[@normajeansicard4842]

Hi Carolyn! Great progress! Hi Simon! I can't wait for ABCingo! I have four more letters to figure out. Happy Stitching!

[@sunrise49738]

Hi sweet friend! I received the package today. Thank you! That is the pattern that I thought the post office had lost. I love, love, love the stickers and Walter will enjoy the bird learning cards as well. Your sweet words about Baby led me to cared for tears. Tuesday is the packing up day and Wednesday is the move day! The kids are bringing over supper in the crock pot Wednesday evening. We took Walter over to the new house for the first time and he seemed to really enjoy it. I am glad you are safe from the wildfire. Glad your weather is cooling down. Ours seems to be ramping up, having the highs in the low 100s for at least the next week. Really great progress on Buying Cross Stitch! Love the colors you switched out to. I am working on The Snuggle is Real and right now about going blind stitching 3865 and 3866 on 25 ct potato lugana, still working on my June birthday stuff although have also worked on some of July's projects and have all my August ones pulled. Summer Montage looks absolutely fantastic. You made so much progress on it. I hope Summer Montage is on your ABCingo board! I found the hummingbird charms I was looking for that will go on Hummingbird Garden, very colorful. I think the outlining in light gray really added the pop that the goose needed. I knew you would be going to Acorns and Threads soon with Shelia, Kanday, and Kathleen, among others, headed your way and them mentioning going to Acorns and Threads. Lots of cute pieces in the calendar. Hi Simon!!! Kisses, kisses, kisses! I love Maggie and have for a long time. You know, I am sure, that I love the Spring Stained Glass chart. You are going to be way too busy at Stitching in the Wild socializing with the gang to get very much stitching in. Think of me at the end of this upcoming week when I am trying to get everything organized and unpacked before I have Walter for the weekend. Have fun at Acorns and Threads, and with the gals. Love and hugs to you and the boys. Dawn

[@mary-ellenvieira165]

Love watching your progress on summer montage. Glass

[@margaretkinney186]

What a great gift from Janet. Bird

[@sugarplumstitcher]

I have never done ABCingo before but I am Stitching The Summer Olympics and keeping up so I may try it this year. Hope you have a wonderful visit with your stitching friend.

[@nenitabutcher5518]

Hi Carolyn always enjoy your videos. Lots of great progress on your stitching. Summer is busy not to much stitching here. When you mentioned smoke from forest fires, well so much of it up here I feel like a lot of Alberta is burning. It was sad Jasper park a 1/3 of it burned down. Take care my friend and keep stitching. Glass spring March

[@marygillmarten6758]

Oh Carolyn, I so need to implement a 25/7 in my life. I actually need a 90/7, but there aren't enough hours in a day! I love seeing your progress on your seasonal montages, I would never have the courage to begin even one of them -- they seem so huge! But I LOVE seeing your progress! I also love how organized you are and find you so inspiring in that regard, ergo your videos are addictive! Maybe now that I think about it, it's also your discipline to stick to your plans and organization! :)

[@SheilaSmith-x5k]

Enjoy your new school year and spring will come sooner.

[@stitching_geri]

[@lindaklinedinst9236]

Hi Carolyn I am so glad that nobody got hurt in the Fire and that no buildings were damaged. I got my Sunmer Issue of Stoney Creek and my Summer Issue of Just Cross Stitch. I love these two Pattern Magazines. I got both of them from Stoney Creek Website - Marilyn’s Needlework. Love your WIPS - Very Pretty. I also got my 2025 Keepsake Needlework Calendar as well. I love these. Stay Cool 😎 Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🙏☕️🧵🪡🧵❤️

ABCINGO! Need to get my board started. I've got to get better about checking MMCC. Janet sent you some wonderful charts. Have a great week 💜

[@Jeremiahs_Mom]

Bird please. I can't wait for ABCingo my first big MMC challenge. Beautiful work on everything. Have a great next week! Enjoy your visit with your friend.

[@lindaromar2824]

I have just started your flosstube and I am ready to be enabled! 😂. The calendar is very cute. Can you mention where you ordered it from, please? I think I would like to get it for the following year. I have only been stitching for part of this year and I’m not very fast. I would like to finish some of my projects before getting a calendar with more fun/cute projects to stitch! LOL! SPRING. BIRD. Thank you. Have you seen the pattern from Lindy Stitches called “Staying Warm” ? You might really like it.

[@jerynjanz9476]

I always enjoy your flosstubes. Thank you for sharing your projects. Glass, spring, March, bird

[@grandmaB1948]

I'm glad you're stitching the Halloween Window chart. I love it but don't have it yet. I'll watch your progress and learn more about the chart before I buy it. I have purchased some charts without knowing anything about them and been disappointed. Glass, Spring,

[@robinselby1]

Okay Carolyn I need the secret to get a keepsakes calendar! Please asap!😂 love your stitching as always❤

[@arleencurry]

March is my spring birthday month. I saw a bird through the glass window. Nice video.

[@pattysmith9266]

So nice to hear about your week. I have not been stitching lately I think I did so much and now I need a little break, So I am sewing getting ready for a fall craft sale and knitting. Hello Simon. That rose is so close to being finished you can do it. Happy stitching Patty glass march

[@carolineworkinprogress4911]

FYI: to copy Halloween Window, you could use the enlarge function on the copier to make it ledger size, or decrease it to 81/2 x 11 by copying it at 95%. That’s helped me make working copies of hard-to-read charts.

[@amywyckhouse]

Love the pretty glass pattern

[@dk5755]

I always enjoy watching your videos. I would love to stitch the bird bouquets like you did. We have very similar tastes because I also want to do the Lindy Stitches Beautiful Things and the mandala one also

[@owlandgatorstitcher]

Simon looking handsome as always-maybe you should have a looking glass nearby so he can march over and admire himself, or maybe he can be distracted by a bird. Looking forward to seeing you at Stitching in the Wild next month. -Debbie

[@helenhanni8343]

Love your videos. Spring glass bird.

[@StitchyNoir]

Great video as always-good luck with your syllabi too! I teach at a university in Florida and classes start Monday!

[@vickivasquez5610]

My favorite for you to always pull out Summer Montage , it’s just coming along so beautifully. I also picked up the Halloween piece from GaRon, some time back. I’m not sure what I was thinking 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@BlilleMa]

With a bird in hand there’s no room for the glass I’d like to raise to you (and Janet). Love your flosstube! 😊

[@MandyParker]

Hi Simon 🐾 Beautiful Girl is so pretty, looking forward to seeing that finish

[@Claudia_petals-n-wings]

Hello friend. I love all your stitching, especially the halloween window. Its so pretty. I am ready for some fall stitching as well. I need to spring into action to get some things finished. I hope you have a great week. Hugs.

[@kimvernon5236]

Another great episode Carolyn!!

[@georgiemcdougle9064]

I'm traveling to Albuquerque later this week, and that is our closest LNS, so I am going to look for that Halloween window, it's so cute.

[@SharyStitches]

Lovely stitching, You have such wonderful taste when choosing your project. Summer Montage is coming along beautifully. Last March my cat knocked down my glass bird wind chime.

[@heden1460]

You know, for Summer Montage, I'm really liking the rose, and would think of stopping there. I like roses. I already have all of the stained window patterns from Imaginating. They are easy, fun stitches. I haven't done winter yet. I gave three as gifts, but want to restitch them for myself as well. They each took me about three months to stitch. There are quarter and half stitches on all four patterns and them on 14 count. I have the Sugar Stitches sampler too.

[@Raven61362]

I really enjoyed your video today. I was feeling a little down and you really brought my spirits up! Spring, spring, beautiful spring!

[@vickimiller6991]

Love the art of stained glass. Love the videos. You are a great enabler.

[@deniseperreault]

Thank you for sharing. I had actually been wondering about the calendar & whether you had the patterns hanging on your wall. After hearing your description, of course that makes perfect sense! Also, was trying to find which issue of CrossStitcher had those adorable birds. Even if I am not picked, now I know which magazine to look for! bird glass

[@Linda_James]

I would be excited to receive the Bird 🎉 I have my Hummingbird Garden caught up. I don’t know what it was about that 3rd mandala on the second row but that frog visited me over 6 times. It was so many times that I lost track of how many it actually was 🥱 I’ve got FOMO so bad. They have openings for the first weekend of SITW and I can’t make it. I would love to meet you, Ronny, and Gary in person 😩
