Just started watching. I just wanted to say again you are my favorite Flosstuber! Many reasons why, but just a few...I love your personality and demeanor, the projects you show, how your husband helps, your sense of humor and throwing caution to the wind!!! I am spring cleaning and haven't laughed or smiled so far until your video. I just love you !

[@saltboxstitcher]

Wow, thank you!

[@isabellegt9826]

Happy Bailey. You are so wonderful. I love all your videos, fun interaction and all your magnificent work. Your husband is great to help out and patiently make you shine. Thank you as always for sharing your wisdom and knowledge. I am in love with your samplers.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@aliceschultz3182]

You are my favorite Flosstuber for several reasons. You do absolutely gorgeous stitching. I am also 71, so I relate to so many things you say and refer to. Your sense of humor is terrific, and your relationship with your husband is inspiring. Thank you for managing to be consistent in the quality of the content of your videos. Jesus and stitching have a calming affect on me too. Happy stitching!!!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you! You too!

[@kathykerr7837]

Love the box you made for your friend, a real gift to get. Bailey looks a treasure, in more ways than 1.very much enjoy your flosstubes. Cheers.

[@gabrielladenobile5818]

OMG! You and your hubby are hilarious. I just love watching your videos! All your work is beautiful and you always make me laugh out loud. Thank you ❤️

[@loridavisstitchvilleusa]

Loved your sampler parade. Bailey is beautiful. Happy stitching ❤

[@barbarafoster9030]

“Throwing caution to the wind” was hilarious! Ah, so much to stitch and so little time. Thank you for taking the time from your fabulous stitching to bring us another fantastic Flosstube episode. Your gift to Ruth was simply exquisite - and Bailey is adorable!

[@karonaustiff4709]

The cigar box was a great idea. I would love to do that. Bailey looks like a great pet.

[@lorisnyder7771]

Had to laugh as I watched you today. It is a testament to your ability to make me feel like you are right in my living room having a private viewing of your projects, that when you asked, "Did I already show you that last time?" , I am vigorously shaking my head and saying out loud, "No, you did not, Carol." Bailey is a charmer!

[@colleenmclaughlin10]

Oh Bailey be still my heart. 🥰 Thank you for sharing all your beautiful items Carol, especially the "Dear Friend" gift for Ruth. What a treasure. xo

[@marygoode1058]

Wonderful video, Carol! Thank you, as always, for all the stitching inspiration. It was fun to “meet” Bailey in this episode🙂. Happy Spring from Michigan 🌷!

[@karaponder7893]

Such a fun episode! I truly enjoy every minute of your FlossTubes. You are one of the best. We have several of the same Works in Progress. The gift you made for your friend was stunning. Bailey is beautiful as well. Happy Stitching, Kara

[@kayhelland9599]

Bailey is a cutie patootie! Such a beautiful coat. Thanks for the Red Letter Day suggestion. I ❤️ your videos. I never miss one AND I’m going back and watching from the beginning. Thanks for being YOU!!!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@michellehutchens1917]

Your projects always inspire me to start something new and now I have even more WIP's! :) Bailey is adorable! Loved the gift you made!

[@gdrrahn3410]

Loved the wind! Bailey looks like a nice dog. Loved your video! I rush to the TV to watch your videos! Thanks…

[@territheoldneedleshop996]

Another inspiring video …so many beautiful samplers to choose from! Thanks for always sharing!

[@elizabethcoleman5437]

I love when Mr Saltbox participates & helps you during your flosstube. It's so sweet. I enjoy your stitching finished, in progress, or planned for the future. It doesn't matter. I love your style and your talent. I even enjoy all your tangents & stories. In fact those are what make your flosstube videos so enjoyable!. Have fun dog sitting Bailey. He seems to be a big love of a dog!

[@sheilawilliams29]

I really, really like your floss tube for so many reasons. I like how you and your husband interact with each other in just a fun and loving way. I always learn something each time l watch you, this time it was thread your needle from the cut end of the silk thread. You have the best smile and your “ whatever attitude “ always gives me a chuckle. You have Bailey and l have Benny, our pets never complain how much stash we have or when we add to it regularly. I will look forward to seeing you and hearing from your husband again and again. Take care, Sheila 🇨🇦 🐶

[@chantelledeimling-141desig3]

Thank you so much for all of the time and energy you put into each one of your episodes. I enjoy them all so much. You are an inspiration! Hope you had a wonderful time with Bailey during her stay. She's a beautiful pup.

[@cindygaudet1390]

Hi! Oh so nice to see the regular Carol back! And hubby too. Don’t ever let the grouchy nay sayers bug you! Wow that sampler is huge! Glad you have the frame! I say claret, darker. Omg she’s beautiful! We have what we say is a mini retriever… oh she is sweet. What a beautiful gift, how generous and as always gorgeous stitching! I did our hearts for our 45th wedding anniversary. Thanks for great stitchy company!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@judyholdsworth7096]

Definitely the darker red. It is more lively but is anchored nicely with the tone of the green vine. Your hubby is a hoot and the Bailey is a glorious colour. What a gift! A beautiful sentiment and great idea and skill. Till next time ❤️🇦🇺

[@gailamason9802]

As always thank you for showing your beautiful stitching. Great video. Give Bailey a dog treat from me.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you! Will do!

[@wandamccoll3739]

Oh Carol, you are my kind of 'crazy person'!!! It was fabulous seeing your sampler WIPs that you are currently working on and ones that you are thinking about!! Your cigar box sampler is beautiful and what a special gift! It was wonderful to meet your grand-pup!!! Thanks as always Carol! You bring such joy and inspiration. Happy stitching!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you! You too!

You’re just a joy to watch, Carol. Love the ‘throw caution to the winds’ gag, lol! Bailey

Bailey is a beautiful dog. Thank you for letting us see him. Great video. I really enjoyed it. Love the wind and laughter.

Bailey is so cute! Another great video Carol. I look forward to watching you.

[@bagsshebuilt]

Thank you for another awesome episode, Carol! I usually watch Flosstube while stitching in the evening after hubby has gone to bed, and I always leave yours until the very last. You make me smile so much and I always feel so happy and calm after watching ❤...the perfect way to feel when heading to bed! Bailey is so sweet, and I'm sure loves spending time at Grandma and Grandpa's.

[@justinerogers1353]

Rose Garden for me - love the aged, faded look of it. What a beautiful gift - so lovely.

Hello Carol, during your videos I find my self laughing, smiling, and nodding my head in agreement...I like the dark red too. Your friend piece is gorgeous, thank you for sharing that with us. Love looking through your project bags, always fun. I love that you share tips on any special stitches on the patterns, and floss choices. Bailey is adorable, we had a golden years ago, his name was Henry. Special breed, so loving, I think everyone should have a golden. Once again Carol, thank you, for an hour we can forget our troubles, and “visit” with you.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!! I love our visits too! Yes Goldens are a great breed.

[@kimberlytaylor1071]

Might be hard to give Bailey back! Will watch the flossies you recommended so thanks, as always.hugs

[@kathrynbosler]

I just love your stitching, Carol. I stopped stitching in the 1980s like so many of us and picked it up again shortly before the pandemic. I just love looking at the work of those who kept with it and did not take that long break. also, your son‘s dog, Bailey, looks like a real sweetheart. I couldn’t believe how big he was when he was sitting on your lap!!!

[@rosepetalstitches]

Bailey thank you for joining Carol today. You are gorgeous

[@chrisconway2267]

So many samplers, I don't know how you do it all with quilting too! I love your floss tubes and your hubby's part as well. Bailey is so pretty and looks like a very well-behaved dog! Happy stitching! Thank you.

[@joycelittrell3889]

I hope you enjoy your time with Bailey. I truly enjoy your videos, Carol.

[@doligirl1]

Bailey is delightful to watch. I’m sure he gets a lot of love and attention there at your house. We have a little Chihuahua that we watch once in a while but I think she’s now going to stay with us. Looking forward to your next floss tube.

[@trupple4725]

You inspire! Thanks for showing Bailey to us. What a sweet dog.

Your son definitely favors you. ❤️ However, seeing your face and watching your show today was just what the good doctor ordered. 🌹

[@sherryclifton4947]

Best Friends she says, one stitch at a time she says. Well she might be right cause I’ve stitched with you thru all 90 episodes. ❤️❤️. Your Hubby is a hoot. Hugs to you both.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Love that! Thank you so much!!!!

[@janr2632]

Lots of temptations as usual. I hope Bailey finally was given his treat (and maybe more!),

[@Okie_Stitches]

I had a deaf pup named Bailey. He was an Australian Shepherd. Wonderful dog!

I laughed out loud at you throwing caution to the wind!!! My coworker wanted to know what was wrong with me! 😂 As always, great video! Your gift to your dear friend was beautiful! Thanks for the tip on checking smoke shops for cigar boxes. The one you used was really nice! I absolutely LOVE seeing Bailey best of all!!! She is so beautiful! Thanks again, Carol! Love ya!!!❤

I love the interaction between you & your husband. I prefer the dark red thread, Claret I think it was. Bailey is adorable and your Dear Friend gift is gorgeous, lucky friend!

[@shellycampis6226]

Bailey is a doll! I have 3 granddogs, a Dalmatian and two Aussie Shepherd's. A rowdy bunch! That huge sampler will be a stunner when you've finished it. Your FFO is a beaut❤a masterful finish, IMHO!

[@Christine-ix7tp]

Beautiful beautiful gift of the cigar box! Lucky friend, Ruth! Such a clever and lovely finish. I have several cigar boxes so now what to stitch.. Bailey is a dear grand dog! Another wonderful flosstube - thank you.

[@kellymacd6313]

Oh my goodness, I laughed and laughed when that fan started!! Watching your videos have helped distract me during my chemo --- so Carol, you just never know who you are reaching with your wonderful videos.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Oh my thank you so much!! I hope you get through chemo soon. It’s necessary but nasty stuff!!!❤️

[@jeanperrotta2414]

Loved the wind! Bailey is adorable. Thank you another great video❤

[@DebrafromMD]

Lovely to meet your sweet grand pup Bailey.

[@debbiemcclain564]

Enjoyed your #90 episode. I enjoy looking at all the samplers you have completed and the ones in progress (and your kitted ones). Bailey is quite the handsome boy. Thank you for introducing him. When you mentioned his name it immediately brought back memories of the animal cracker boxes with scene of Barnum Bailey circus surrounding the box . So thanks for that long ago memory. Also , I loved the Flock of Friends design on the cigar box . You have inspired me to create one for my best friend. One can never have too many friends.

[@chrisrahall623]

Bailey is a cutie. I love you flosstube everything in it the laughter, go off on a tangent and of course your husband too. Keep up the great work and God bles

[@jennifergarrett5118]

Oh my gosh I absolutely love the cigar box. That is such a cute idea.

[@donnastrang8913]

Hi Carol. Enjoyed as I always do, your flosstube. Your antics and humor keep me watching. The lovely needlework you amaze us with, is the icing on the cake. The gift for Ruth was wonderful. Your special guest star was so sweet. He just looks like a "Bailey". I'm sure it's fun to have him come to visit. See you in a couple weeks. ❤ya!!, Donna

[@LoriOrr-qp8fg]

Love your videos and the antics of your husband and you at the start of your filming. A sense of humor is so important. I laughed when your threw caution to the wind, what an idea!!

[@dalenewilkinson934]

Loved your cigar box gift. How thoughtful. It was nice to meet Bailey, he's a beauty.
