the Saltbox Stitcher [Episode 105] "Thanksgiving on the way to Christmas'

[@rahrah46]

I was saddened to hear that someone was leaving nasty notes to your videos. Two years ago when I found flosstube I broke an ankle and was unable to walk for 7 weeks! If it weren't for you and other wonderful flosstubers I would have lost my marbles! Your work is beautiful and it is such a relief to know that other stitchers have lots of wips. Thank you so very, very much for your videos.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thanks for sharing!! I hope you get better soon. It’s hard to not be able to walk for that long.

[@susansisk829]

You are so inspiring I just want to stitch all the things and of course Mr. Saltbox is the icing on the cake! Please, don’t ever take the rabbit holes away…😂

[@saltboxstitcher]

Oh thank you!

[@imclueless1]

Always enjoy your visits. I lost my husband 2 weeks ago after a lengthy illness and I’m trying get to get some normalcy back. Watching you is helping me want to stitch again.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Oh I’m so sorry!!! Loss is especially difficult during the holiday season. I hope you can get back to stitching and that it helps comfort you.

[@rosepetalstitches]

Carol your hair is gorgeous 🥰. I’m so sorry you had horrid messages left. I love and look forward to seeing each and every one of your flosstubes.

[@patriciachilds7877]

Yes, I second that !

[@debraculpepper2396]

Boy if I could stitch as fast as I buy patterns, linen, and floss wow what an accomplishments I would have!!! Carol thank you again so much for sharing all of your beautiful stitching, I love seeing you and hearing your husband’s voice!♥️

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@PatterC]

I literally laughed out loud when Mr. Saltbox added the Jeopardy music when you were trying to remember the name of something. Oh my goodness so funny. I love watching you. Thank you so much!

[@justinerogers1353]

Hi Carol - your framing is great - keep going. I lace and pin - the pins are for the tweaking. Look at thrift shops they have great, inexpensive frames as well. Have just been cutting paper templates in either 36 or 40 count design size so I can take them with me and put the paper on the frame to see if it fits. Have saved a fortune doing this.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thanks so much, that’s a great idea!!!!

[@tammyspruce9212]

Carol, we love you! I was at a stitching retreat this weekend and someone said Carol was doing this - we ALL knew who Carol was and the reason we love you, besides your wonderful stitching and quilting is because you are you! You are keeping it real every video. Thank you for the time you give us of yourself (and Mr Saltbox too).

[@saltboxstitcher]

Oh wow, that’s too funny!!! I appreciate your kindness!!!

[@presbymom]

Your videos are a feast for the eyes! Blessings on you!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Wow, thank you!

[@katzgang]

Carol, I just love who you are and what you’re about; I’m grateful to call you my dear friend. 💗

[@saltboxstitcher]

Edith you’re just too sweet!!!

[@maryf461]

Easier said than done……to turn the other cheek. HURT people, hurt people. It’s about them, not you. The underbelly of flosstube or any social media…..people! Anyone who critiques you….let’s see them do better. You do a wonderful job. Very down to earth. Not boastful or needy. Thank you!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thanks so much!!!

[@blessedrthosesermount99]

I was just thinking yesterday, i cant wait to see Carol again and her next episode, and here you are 😊🙏 such lovely framed work! And all your stitching is such a treat! Youre so talented. God bless you and yours. 🦃🍂🥧🤎💛🧡✨️ You look tired/down. Please dont let anyone steal your sunshine. You and your channel are a highlight to my life. God really has blessed you with your talent. Keep the faith. Have a hopeful, joyful Thanksgiving ❤

[@patriciachilds7877]

Totally agree ! Carol Is the Best !!

[@elaineekberg113]

I agree, but I don't see tired. One thing I admire in Carol is the cute relationship she and the professor have. She's just a bit off her usual game today because her other half is missing! I do worry when she speaks about nursing homes. Carol is obviously sharp as a tack and enjoying friends, travel, and life! I think she's everyone's favorite stitcher! I pray Carol can know that there a great things coming to look forward to and she needs to wait for it! No giving up!❤❤🙏🙏

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thanks so much!!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you!! Maybe tired but not down!😁

[@claudia3973]

Carol, your hair looks lovely! The framing is just perfect. I see all the joy and love in your stitched pieces. It brightens my day. Your laughter and rabbit holes are charming and bring chuckles. You are you and we all love you! Thank You for sharing yourself. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you!

[@kathyn4267]

The framing you did at the beginning look perfect to me. You did a good job! Have fun!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Oh thank you!

[@beverlyhampton7990]

I went back and have been binge watching from episode 1 so don’t let one person ruin your day you are great. I need a notebook to write down all the beautiful things I want to stitch Thank you for your precious time

[@saltboxstitcher]

Oh my that #1 is awful, I was so nervous and I sounded so goofy.

[@ginap5003]

Hello Carol! I watch all your floss tube videos, but this is the first time I have ever commented. I have cross stitched off and on since the 80’s, but became obsessed with knitting, cooking and gardening while working and raising our family, so had little time for other hobbies. I returned to cross stitch briefly in 2014 while recovering from a big surgery, but set my stitching down again after returning to work. I so wish I had discovered floss tube back then! The CS fire was lit in January, discovered FT, and have not looked back! I am amazed and humbled by your stitching productivity! Your stitching is lovely. Thank you for sharing your talents with us!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!! The broad range of designs as well as fabrics and flosses make this a perfect time to return to this wonderful hobby, albeit a little bit of obsession for me! But then again there are always worse things to be obsessed with. ❤️

[@annhinz6326]

Happy Thanksgiving to you too! I don't cross stitch but love listening to you as I embroider and quilt. Yes I'm very thankful to God for family, health and a comfortable life. Nothing is deserved!

[@remmiesmom]

I really enjoyed your video! By the way, I love your shorter hair! You always look so nice and put together! You are working on some beautiful pieces. I think you did great on your framing. As a former professional framer, I know it's not easy to keep everything straight. You did a great job! I look forward to seeing your progress in your next video. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. You are so right when you mentioned how important it is to be grateful. We are so fortunate next to so many people in the world. Every time I start to complain about some insignificant thing, I try to remember how fortunate I am. Hope to see you soon!

[@saltboxstitcher]

That is so true! Next year I’m going to start an ongoing grateful list and add to it all year. It’s always good to remind ourselves to be thankful.

[@QBee6]

Watched your video twice this time. I faithfully have watched everyone. I feel we are kindred spirits. I was born in 1951 so similar age. You right when you’ve been at it along time, we accumulate a lot of projects. Much supplies to eventually ❤make whatever we desire.

[@saltboxstitcher]

So true, it’s a lifelong hobby!!!

[@kayhelland9599]

Hi Carol! First of all, shame on anyone making negative comments about Saltbox…shame, shame, shame. You keep me inspired and I strive to be half the stitcher you are. Your work is beautiful and I love all your videos. I enjoy the banter between you and Professor Saltbox. I just celebrated my 71st birthday and I spent part of it watching your videos. Made me HAPPY!!! Thanks for being YOU!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Aww thanks so much!! You’re very kind!!!

[@doxipups2]

Gorgeous works and great plans. Love love love your videos Carol. And Mr. Saltbox does a great editing job for you. I truly feel like we are good friends and I look forward to my time with you 🙂

[@saltboxstitcher]

Oh thank you! You’re very kind!!!

[@charlotteburkhardt4903]

As always, I love seeing your stitching. Yes, most of us are very fortunate and blessed. Have a great celebration with your family.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you! You too!

[@marciaclifford7107]

I like the willow fronds & leaves green - it makes them more cheerful! Hope you stay well, Carol, and that Mr. Saltbox is healthy soon. Thanks for sharing your stitching, thoughts, and general loveliness. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thanks and happy thanksgiving to you too!!!

[@maybee...]

That was interesting about Brenda and Sandy. It sure makes the holidays easier.

[@saltboxstitcher]

So true!!!

[@shereewilson5112]

Keep up the good work, Carol! You're my favorite for information and inspiration. Our two DILs are stepsisters, so they both have the same last name after marrying our sons. Keeps life simpler during the holidays!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Love that! So cool!

[@susannacloer3599]

Carol, you and Olivia (Pumpkin Hollow Quilts) are the only FTs I watch. I have jettisoned everyone else. Why? You are both REAL, and are true stitchers. I stitch in hand as well, and I am not one to have 25 projects going at a time, or stitch rotation of multiple projects....but that is my personal preference. Ignore the troll. There are some miserable people who most likely are jealous of your wild productivity! You are a jewel. I thoroughly enjoy your postings. I hope you and your family have a very blessed Thanksgiving.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!!! I love watching Olivia too!!! ❤️

[@terrykowaski1048]

I love u have a blessed Thanksgiving and get lots of stitches done ❣️

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you! You too!

[@suesew2909]

Carol to me everything you do is perfect! I respect your stitching and wish I could be as good! Unfortunately life gets in the way! I started stitching again after being away from it for probably 20 years. I am blown away how much is out there now. I love what you do. Your taste is like mine. Eye on the sparrow is amazing! Please don’t pay attention to the idiots out there making nasty comments! They are just jealous! Thanks. Sue Chavanne

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@kathynaugle2661]

Your analogy of starting a border is like getting acquainted with someone new is a perfect description. You put into words what I feel about starting a new piece. I don't necessarily start with a border but it seems to take some time to get familiar with the way the chart is printed, how the colors look on the fabric, how the fabric feels, etc. It takes me a little while to get comfortable. I also loved your comments about how much you can stitch before the Lord calls us home. Being older, I feel the same way. I started stitching about two years ago and wonder how fast I can stitch ALL THE THINGS! Happy Thanksgiving and blessings to you and yours.

[@saltboxstitcher]

I’m going to keep trying to stitch ALL of the things!!! It’s so much fun!!!

[@red_river_stitcher]

My vote-#2 Christmas In My Heart!(it is gorgeous and will be stunning framed) I am so sorry someone is being ugly. I feel sorry for them. That person must have a hurt heart. You’re a joy to watch!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you!!

[@periwinklestitcher]

So wonderful to spend time with you Carol! Love ot all - your stitching, your plans, your new hair-do but most of all your positive spirit and inspiration! Love ya - from Cardiff Wales UK

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@kim-thestay-at-homequilter877]

The jeopardy music had me cracking up! I hope you had fun as Camille’s special guest. I also make my sweet potatoes with marshmallows and my nephews ask for them every year. 💕

[@saltboxstitcher]

It’s definitely a favorite!!!

[@marionvandesande6382]

I think you are my absolute favorite Floss Tuber! I love your work, almost every peace. This episode was the first one I've seen without the start of episode numberrrrrrrrr....? ;-) Happy thanksgiving to you and your family from the Netherlands!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thanks so much! Mr Saltbox was out of the building, he’ll be back next time!!!

[@CarolMartin-xm1ri]

Her hair is lovely and flattering.

[@sharonkenshalo831]

I enjoy all you do to help promote good projects, there will always be negative people and just have to keep doing what you like to do and others same minded enjoy effort time and trouble to make happy projects no matter what other people think.

[@saltboxstitcher]

So true.

[@julieharden158]

Carol, it’s wonderful to see you and your gorgeous wips. I’m so sorry you have someone leaving you horrible comments. What’s wrong with people and where do they find the time?? Please know you are very loved and appreciated by all your fellow floss tubers and friends . Thanks for your time and effort you share with us. Love and blessings xx

[@saltboxstitcher]

Aww thanks so much!!!

[@theresamccormick8647]

Again, so great to see your work . I appreciate you and it very much. The fabric you used for Not Forgotten Farm’s “Christmas In My Heart”…STUN-ING!!! Wow! I think my heart might have skipped a beat. Take good care and thank you.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Oh thank you so much!

[@suecollura5524]

I hope I am on this earth long enough to do nursing home stitching! lol! You are a blessing! Happy Thanksgiving.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much! Happy thanksgiving to you as well. ❤️

[@denisevoss8901]

Me too!

[@afreespirit1]

Being a scientist too, I just have to giggle every time Professor Saltbox appears in the background. I have known so many people just like him it's like being among old friends. I never taught outside of grad school, instead going into research and then industry before I retired. I have so many charts on my wish list because of your enabling and added a new one today. The BBD Christmas sampler you showed caused me to pause and go in search of it. It's "The Bells on Christmas Day" in the booklet of that name!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you!!

[@marklorizitting3666]

I love your videos... You make me smile . I also think your hair looks great 👍 don't let the naysayers ruin your day... Please keep doing your videos I love your cross stitches and your quilts

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!!

[@christinaderrico5159]

Hi Carol I think you are amazing! Don’t let negativity get to you, you are amazing 🤎🍂🦃

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@betsabeabarleycorn]

Hello Carol! Thank you for another lovely flosstube. I like your new haircut! I always listen to your opinion and now I use to border complete my wips, before moving to all the motifs inside. When I didn't, I regretted it, because my border didn't meet. Yesterday evening I was sititching the border of the Winter Sampler by Crocette a Go Go and I was thinking about it as my first date with the sampler. Of course we do personalize our wips! We don't have Thanksgiving here in Italy, so we do celebrate August 15th, All Souls and then we move to Christmas! I wish a Happy Thanksgiving and many hours of Happy Stitching!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thanks so much!! I went to Italy in high school, a hundred years ago. I loved seeing all of the ancient buildings and ruins. Fabulous!!!

[@barbarahouser]

Carol, I LOVE your haircut! You are such a beautiful, Happy Queen within your kingdom! Sorry you have an ugly troll, it amazes me how some choose to spend their time, trying to make other folks uncomfortable, what a waste of precious time. I think your Hawk Run Village is beautiful & the trees look amazing. I know what you mean about starting huge projects at our age; I find myself looking at all my "want to starts" while deciding which ones I really want to spend my time on because I know there are many that will be left behind. I just wish we all could have used that mindset when we were 20 instead of now when we are 70ish! I loved seeing your new starts & have several of those on my Radar for this Christmas season. Have a Blessed Thanksgiving with your family and know that you are on my Gratitude List as I count my many blessings this year! xoxo

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!! I’m believing in tomorrow so new starts are definitely fun!!! Merry Christmas to you and I’m so flattered that I would be on your gratitude list. Very humbling for me!!! ❤️

[@deloreschambers5152]

I love your videos and look so forward to them coming out. I do have to say, you get me in trouble watching as I shop along the way as you have so many beautiful pieces.

[@saltboxstitcher]

I never know whether to say sorry or you’re welcome!!! Lol

[@kankerdoodleb9149]

Thank you Carol for another great visit while I stitch. I have had startitis for a few months now, there will be plenty if WIPS to choose from next year! Wishing you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving.

[@debbierice1363]

I have buyitis. I need to catch startitis, after I finish all my Christmas quilting.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you, I’m in the same boat, lots of WIPs for next year!!!

[@catherinelaurent5219]

I cannot see the difference in the framing, we are all critical of our works, I love seeing what you are up to. I do my bordering first also. Nice progress on all your stitching, I am a bit jealous but also thankful you share with us. I think the trees look wonderful, oh my gosh that bag is beautiful. have fun being a special guest. I think your haircut is lovely. You are an inspiration to all stitchers. Happy Blessed thanksgiving

[@saltboxstitcher]

Oh thank you!

[@marycalton6763]

I always look forward to your new videos, some of my favorites though are when you show some of your older blackbird designs wip's and finishes, so pretty , it is really hard to find any videos of blackbird quilts!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you!

[@lorriemoreau8894]

Carol, I just love you, and Professor Salt Box. You always make my day better. I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving. Thank you for sharing your stitching, your thoughts and for the smiles ❤️

[@saltboxstitcher]

Aww thanks so much!!!❤️

[@dianeruno4942]

Thanks Carol for all the beautiful " eye candy" and the enabling- had to stop the video and buy a pattern! I always love your stitching choices. It's so fun to have you come and visit while I'm stitching ( currently stitching Mary Carr as my morning stitch)- please keep 'em coming!!

[@saltboxstitcher]

I can’t wait to get back to Mary Carr. Love that sampler!!!

[@aquilterscraftroom]

Hi Carol. So much beautiful stitching and inspiration! I can't wait to start "And Heaven and Nature Sing next week, probably on Wednesday since Thanksgiving Day is always so busy. I'm also stitching His Eye is on the Sparrow and seeing your progress inspired me to pull mine out again and dedicate it as a Sunday Stitch. Hopefully that will let me see some progress:) Thanks for another great video. I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thanks so much!!! I may start H and N sing tomorrow!!! ❤️

[@karenrozanski9231]

I am thankful for you Carol. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you! You too!

[@twopencehalfpenny]

Another great video. All that work on Eyes o te Sparrow . So wonderful.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thanks so much!

[@nataliadmitrieva3929]

You are so inspiring Carol! Pleasure to watch, as usual ❤️ Have a great time and enjoy your Thanksgiving 🌹

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you! You too!

[@pegpage8618]

It always makes me happy when I get a notification that my FAVORITE FlossTuber has posted a video. ❤ Love your hair today, Carol. Your framed pieces are just lovely - great job. Ohhh - I want to stitch that BBD giant strawberry, but it just never comes to the top of my list. 🤦‍♀️ Delete and block those trolls, Carol - nobody needs that negativity. 🤪 Wow - The Eye is on the Sparrow is just amazing. Your BBD Christmas kitted pieces are lovely - last year I started 10 Christmas stitches in December - 6 of them are BBD and I hope to start working on them again after Thanksgiving. Sending you and Prof. Saltbox a happy and blessed Thanksgiving. 🤗 ❤️

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you!! Blackbird Designs have been a long time favorite of mine yet I still have so many I want to stitch. I hope to start Christmas Rose very soon!!!

[@margieshea672]

I so look forward to your videos. You show just the right mix of WIPs, finishes, kitted projects & charts -in-waiting. I vote for framing the Christmas in My Heart finish; it's beautiful! In fact I love it so much that you have inspired (not enabled) me to purchase the kit. Your explanation as to why you complete the borders on samplers first made perfect sense to me. Although I have cross stitched off and on for years I had not really stitched samplers. I have recently started 2 samplers and will try completing the borders first. Thanks again for sharing your time and expertise. Happy 🦃

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you, stitching the borders first enables me to jump around and I can count from the border.

[@Roberta.SABLEStitchers]

Always happy to see a new Carol episode pop up. Love all your stitching of course but your side comments are very entertaining. I have Martha Jefferson and it was a special spring offering from Country Sampler. I've seen it finished and it's wonderful; I have to get back to that one! I think I've blocked a troll before on KZbin to save myself and others the aggravation.

[@saltboxstitcher]

I’ve blocked them before too, and I try to just ignore the comments from them. Thanks, I couldn’t remember where I ordered Martha Jefferson from, it’s a fun one. So many samplers I want to stitch!!!

[@maggiewatte7911]

My children and grandchildren are what I’m thankful for. Well, around here willow branches are green. Your trees are great

[@saltboxstitcher]

Wonderful! Oh good, because I certainly wasn’t planning to take them out.

[@kathyb7636]

Love your hair!! Thank you for another wonderful video! They always bring me joy and inspiration! I'm a big fan of BBD too and did all the 6 Remember Me houses like Merry Christmas Ella Vaughn. Each is named for someone in my family and they hang over my bed. I have quite a collection of their books (both xst and quilt). Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!💕♥

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!! I have collected their designs for many years, my very favorite!

[@DLNYTube]

Wonderful to look at all your stitching! It is a nice season - Thanksgiving and, of course, Christmas later. Thank you and I agree - we should be very thankful!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you! Yes we should!!!

[@cathyhowell6829]

Enjoyed the video. As for framing, I choose “ I will keep Christmas in my heart. Take care of your sweet husband

[@saltboxstitcher]

Yes! Thank you!

[@hollyanthony76]

Loved seeing your stitching! I really enjoyed seeing your His Eye is on the Sparrow, I am working on Consider the Lilies. I have been working from the center down to the border. Your method of using the border as a guide is great information- thank you for sharing! Ignore the troll. 99.9% of us love you and your stitching.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you!!

[@jamiecherry4549]

Another lovely video, Carol. Thank you for sharing all of your projects. ❤

[@trishwells34]

I could watch and listen to you every day!! But, then you wouldn’t get much stitching done 😂 Have a blessed Thanksgiving 🦃 God bless you and Mr. Saltbox ❤

[@saltboxstitcher]

Haha!!! You would get bored pretty quickly I believe!!! Haha!!!

[@recoveringmonogamousstitch1947]

Carol, Thank you so much for showing so many of your projects, both finished and in process. I think the way you do when stitching. I am always trying to figure out an efficient path. Once I get it, my stitching goes much faster. I am already looking forward to your next video. Happy Thanksgiving. Happy stitching. Best, K

[@saltboxstitcher]

Oh thank you from a fellow Floridian! Even though it’s only for half the year. ❤️

[@marybd123]

Your hair looks marvelous. As always, love your videos…seeing your WIPs, finishes, FFOs, etc. are so inspirational!

[@wandamccoll3739]

Your framed pieces are gorgeous, Carol!!! I love His Eye is on the Sparrow! I plan to do Farms of HRH in honour of my dad. Peace and Goodwill is such a beautiful sampler and Christmas in My Heart is gorgeous! Now, I just want to start everything!!! Your haircut is beautiful!!! I'm sorry there is someone who feels the need to leave negative comments...if they were actually watching your video, they would have nothing but positive things to say as you are so wonderful, passionate and inspiring. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Thanks as always, Carol and happy stitching!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!! I have Farms of HRH but it’s not on my immediate radar, I want to stitch Houses next.

[@richardallen1391]

Thanks so much for another amazing video. I always learn so much and I am inspired by your amazing stitching. I hope you and yours have a blessed thanksgiving. Janine

Thank you! 😊

[@dollyyarborough2918]

Hello from NC Carol…indeed thankful and blessed Carol. I laughed out loud at your happy birthday singing story, I’m with you, I can’t sing either! I found myself saying “gorgeous Carol” talking to my television! Thank you and Mr. Saltbox for sharing your pieces with us. I loved all of it, but the Brenda Gervais snowman with the cardinal on his head was my favorite, I have that pattern and need to stitch it. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving Carol. P. S. love your haircut!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!!!❤️

[@JillPoteat-fd5xi]

Enjoyed seeing you again. Your cross stitch is so beautiful. I can't believe someone is negative about your videos. I love them and all that you tell us and show us. I learn a lot every time. The Christmas cross stitch you have completed is so lovely. I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving. Hope to see you soon.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you! You too!

[@emilywilliams3237]

Carol, another fun and inspiring video. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Professor Saltbox, and I hope that you and the family have a wonderful holiday filled with genuine thankfulness. You are right, we each have so very much to be thankful for.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much! Happy thanksgiving to you too!!!

[@clarec6659]

So enjoy visiting with you and hope you have a lovely thanksgiving. Such beautiful stitching pieces that you share,some waiting for me to get back to, thanks for the inspiration. Blessings and happy stitching.

Thank you!!!

[@NancyDeMere]

Your hair looks fabulous--LOVE

[@juliamansour2072]

Hello Carol, Enjoy watching your channel as always. Loved the big fat snowman with the red bird on his head. He is so cheery and makes me smile. Not stitching myself now, just got out of hospital and I hurt too much right now. So I am doing a spot of cheering myself up with binge watching Carol. You are so good for the soul. Happy Thanksgiving Carol to you and Michael aka Mr Saltbox Stitcher. He makes me laugh with his editing. Good for deep breathing ouch though for the stitches. See you again soon. Have a great stitchy time and family time.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much! I hope you feel better soon!! Rest and get well!

[@loriduval3490]

I spy Lizzie High dolls in the back ground! I love Lizzie High I am a collector too:)

[@lesliehurley-phatcatphloss1754]

Love all your stitching. I just finished Queen of Harvest - I hope you enjoy her as much as I did! Just block the troll - people like that aren’t worth your time and aggravation! I LOVE your metaphor for meeting someone new when beginning a border. I think I have MRtha Jefferson - I might need to pull that one out and start it. I hope Professor Saltbox is feeling better very soon. Happy stitching and a blessed Thanksgiving to you and yours.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you! You too!

[@belindacharpentier9913]

I also do border first or it’s guaranteed to have stitches off. My Sunday stitch is His Eyes are on the Sparrow because of you and I absolutely love it. Mine is on 32 ct weeks parchment. One more motif and top part done. Mine is big. Still love it the most of all my projects.

[@saltboxstitcher]

That’s fantastic!!! Beth stitched the original on 28 ct. so it is huge!!!

[@bequetmykamundorff8533]

Well, I don’t know who is posting those horrible negative comments but I just want to say that you are my most favorite floss tuber. There are many others that I like a lot but you are my favorite. I will sit there if I’m doing stuff in the house and will sometimes just listen to you in the background because I just love your personality, I was on a trip recently and couldn’t really get much on the TV and I really wasn’t watching TV anyway so I had you on in the background. I’m single and alone so I always like to have something playing in the background. Anyway, keep up the good work and once again, I love your work and these are my favorite podcasts😀

[@saltboxstitcher]

Aww thanks so much, you’re very kind!!!

[@pattyallder8795]

Thank you for taking the time to share. ❤

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thanks for watching!

[@lindameeks5228]

Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoyed this visit, great stitching and so many things I want to stitch. Ignore rude people, you don't deserve bad reviews. Love each time you show your want to stitch pieces, there's always something I want to get done....life happens.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Your hair is looking great! You have so many beautiful things to show us. His Eye Is On The Sparrow is gorgeous! I haven't work on mine in a good while. You've inspired me to get it out again. I think a Sunday stitch is right on time. I hope the professor will be feeling better soon. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Great job with the framing! They look pretty professional to me so don’t be so hard on yourself.

Hi Carol. Thank you for such an inspiring video. I keep a notebook by my stitching chair and had to pause a couple times while taking notes😊. I am anxiously waiting an order after watching too. What I love about you is that you stitch seasonal and everyday samplers and the reproductions. They all play so nice together. You had mentioned in a video you keep,your framed seasonal on a wall until their time to be displayed. Can you share that wall in a video? Have a blessed day friend.

Love love love videos. And the wall of samplers!! I am a sampler stitcher as well. There should be no negativity here as this is an art that anyone can take a piece and make it their own. Keep doing you!!!
