Who doesn’t love a Carol Saltbox parade 🥰🥳. May you & Mr Saltbox have a happy, healthy & blessed 2024! ♥️

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@dollyyarborough2918]

Hello Carol…I never tire of seeing your gorgeous projects. I always feel like I’m visiting a friend when I watch. Thank you so much!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much! You’re very sweet!

[@salliep1]

You have no idea how I look forward to your videos and words of wisdom! Thank u so much for your time and inspiration!! 🧵🧵🧵🪡🪡🪡

[@karenhamilton9528]

Thanks for the inspiration, Carol - as always! May your needle through 2024. Cheers!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you!

[@loisschumacher9869]

What a FABULOUS parade!!! My favorite kind of parade is a WIP parade & yours is one of the best!!!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you!

[@imclueless1]

Omg I love a parade. Huge applause on you finishes. Just fabulous pieces.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@joyceclowser3371]

I love seeing your treasures!! Your two finishes are absolutely beautiful!! Look forward to seeing your progress!! Happy stitching!❤

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@angelasawyer6714]

FYI Tudor Silk is equivalent to Soie Surfine, which is the finer version of 100/3. Absolutely love your videos! ❤

[@claudia3973]

Congratulations to Camille! She is so cute! My granddaughter danced also. Such fun times!! Thank you so much for the video. You are inspiring ..

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@annneal6355]

Loved your flosstube, as always! I like how you keep it real and your humor!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Oh thank you!

[@debbiegarlem5733]

Thank you so much for another inspirational video! I always look forward to them. Stay safe and well and happy stitching!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you!

[@emilywilliams3237]

Your WIP parades are always amazing, Carol. Absolutely love all of your pieces.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@dorissanders1950]

So much fun seeing all these beautiful stitches. Hopefully we xan stitch to at least 90s. We are frozen in Missouri...sniw, wind, ice and subzero temperatures.. aren't you happy to miss this! Retirement means you do not gave to slide to work! I am staying inside and stitching!

[@saltboxstitcher]

No I don’t miss the driving and sliding or the subzero. But we get a little cold too. It’s supposed to hit freezing tonight which is very cold for Florida!!

[@jacquelineboyd1269]

Beautiful projects. Love your ann grimshaw finish. Feel better mr. Saltbox

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you!

[@maryellenmcinnis7693]

Ok, I’m having the hardest time with KZbin. They took away my ability to comment the way I use to and I’m not getting my notifications on my tablet. So accidentally I found this way I think. Carol , love your work and thankyou for sharing all the beautiful pieces you are working on. I think I told you before that my dad would say “I like talking to a good listener and listening to a good talker.” He’d talk to himself. I’m married to a man that doesn’t talk much and my youngest daughter says she does talk much either. One day one of them asked me if I talk if no one is home to hear me. I stopped and thought a second and then said of course I do! After all I believe what my dad always said. Now I catch myself doing it all time. Maybe they should talk more! Well my husband as youngest daughter is married and off with her family! Look forward to each of your flosstubes. You are an inspiration.

[@lorraine-ol6ox]

Competition dance is wonderful! My 3 daughters competed. So much fun and wonderful memories

[@gleehanson4775]

Oh, my.....such lovely 🌹 things! 🤩

[@jennidawn]

Never worry about talking to yourself…My Daddy always says, “you can talk to yourself, and you can even answer yourself. Just don’t say, what?”😊 As always, beautiful work

[@saltboxstitcher]

Love that! Too funny!!! I have been known to tell myself “ told you so”. Haha

[@jeanneantha2832]

So many beautiful stitches. And many times, the border is very complex and kind of daunting, kudos for tackling that right at the beginning!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@zoetaylor4849]

❤ true words Brenda. I have stitched from childhood and love how relaxing it is. I watched my Mum fight her Altzhiemers to carry on stitching , when her mind could not understand stitching ...she knitted her last few years. She never understood who we were sometimes but her hands knew how to knit. Keep stitching ladies ... ❤

[@debbieweigle8420]

Oh my gosh your whip parade is beautiful. Love seeing them all. Hope you and hubby feel better!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@stephanieange8750]

I love seeing and hearing about all your projects. It snowed most of the morning. I enjoyed hanging out with you while I got some stitching done.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you! Stay warm and cozy!!

[@christinaderrico5159]

Beautiful stitching and I always enjoy your videos ♥️♥️♥️

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@blessedrthosesermount99]

Such a treat to see you! 😊 I so enjoy your channel 🎶🐦🍃🪻💜 and really look forward to your new episodes. Congratulations on your finishes! Be healthy. Blessings ✨️

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thanks so much!!!❤️

[@judyyunt2758]

You are truly an inspiration to so many of us! Thank you for showing your WIPs! We all love you!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Aww you’re sweet! Thank you!

[@barbaraamccorkle7424]

Love seeing all your stitching.

[@gingershull2364]

I always love seeing anything you’re willing to share! Your projects are amazing!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@susanhowai6535]

I love your work, I enjoy your videos and you and your husband are delightful!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@lindawhitley1772]

I agree with you 100%. I do the border first. And I count several times for this. It's a whole lot easier when you add the insides of the design. I enjoyed today's visit. Thanks for sharing your lovely work.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you!

[@donnafrancis9163]

You have such beautiful projects! I always enjoy watching. Take care, stay warm, and I look forward to your next video!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@annielessard4629]

Enjoyed the parade! Get better soon Mr Saltbox!! It was -9 in northern NH last night. Expecting colder tonite. Stay warm and safe 😊

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thanks, you too!

[@pattyaltier7234]

Ann G. turned out fabulous! Loved your parade. You look like you have about an acre of stitching to do! My goodness you showed some huge samplers! You are a brave woman!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much! Brave or crazy??? Lol

[@judystone3645]

You can never have enough projects going at one time. 😂 variety is the spice of life. Beautiful finishes and wips. You are pretty far along on the ones you want to finish this year. Uffindell sister samplers is on my list to start, also. I don't own any other HATS patterns, and don't plan to buy any, so it will be fun to stitch them. Should I go wild and do both at the same time? Lordy! I look forward to your next update. I hope both you and hubby are well or getting well. So much crud going around this Winter. ❤❤

[@louiselee8869]

Love seeing all your projects! All beautiful. Congrats on being mentioned in the newest addition of “Just Cross Stitch” magazine.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much! I was contacted by Just Cross Stitch last month and I was shocked!!! Who knew my crazy rambling would end up in a magazine???

[@debbieheyer8271]

Thanks for wonderful stitching parade Have a great week

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you! You too!

[@pamhoerner376]

Great WIP parade Carol! You have some great choices! We are in the frigid temps here with over 2 ft. Of snow. I can’t wait to get to AZ for a few weeks. Love watching you as I do miss you. Take care of yourself and stitch away! I have been stitching quite a bit due to weather! Yay as that’s a good thing about bad roads! 🤣🤣🤣

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thanks my friend!!! I’m sure Arizona will feel like summer compared to Iowa! I hope you and Tanya have a sweet time stitching and just being together!!! Stay safe! Miss you too!!!❤️

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

Gorgeous gorgeous work!! I too am grateful I can stitch and quilt everyday. God bless

[@saltboxstitcher]

Yes! Thank you!

[@lindaskinner5887]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful stitching. ❤

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thanks for watching!

[@sandyp2485]

I appreciate your WIP parades because you note the time begun so it's clear how long a piece takes to completion. Of course different stitchers work at different rates but still it's a nice guide in general. I like how you divide up your weekly stitching time. I'm going to copy your Saturday Smalls; I have so many cute little pieces begging to get done but I always push them aside in pursuit of whatever large project I'm on. I may also copy your His Eye Is On the Sparrow Sunday; I have that chart so I'll kit it up. Thanks for your commentary on using a journal. I recently bought a cheap hardcover ($10 at Walgreens!) with 240 pages and now I have an idea how to get it started.

[@karenharris929]

Wow, this is my first Saltbox Stitcher floss tube - what amazing work xx

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!!! And also thanks for watching for the first time!!❤️

[@cathylounsbury7707]

Hi Carol! Love your finishes - someday I am going to stitch Ann Grimshaw! Keep on stitching and you will get them all done eventually! Happy stitching til next time! 😁🪡🧵🪡✂️✂️✂️💕💕💕

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you! You too my friend!!! I’m stitching Dwelling place by TK and of course you stitched the model. So beautiful!!!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Fun to see your WIPs this time - you have some beauties in there! - Sheri

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thanks so much Sherri!!!

[@tamimorgan1487]

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you!

[@jensstitchingniche4151]

Always a fun video from Carol. Love your WIPS!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thanks so much Jen!!! I’m going to be watching your latest today! Stay warm in the Colorado cold!!!

[@pamelapalmer1250]

Congratulations to you for being in just cross stitch magazine. I think it is great

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@Perfectlyimperfectstitcher]

Anne Grimshaw is beautiful!!

[@marthacook]

Thank you for showing us your WIP parade.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thanks for watching!

[@pamlacey136]

It is always fun to see your WIP parade, and your finishes are so gorgeous!! I have been really sick with RSV so I hope that the two of you do not get it. It is really nasty, especially if you get the wheezing, so scary. Thanks for sharing all of your beautiful projects. Happy stitching and blessings to you both.

[@saltboxstitcher]

We are both well now. He was done and out for a bit but no RSV. Hope you are on the mend!!!

[@lauramilloway8674]

Thanks for the new video! You and Professor Saltbox make me laugh every week. 😊 Also, get better soon Professor!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you!!!

[@jenniferbonynge5899]

Always love seeing what you are working on. I feel more confident about trying larger designs when I see how ambitious you are...there's hope I tell myself! XO

[@saltboxstitcher]

You can do it! Just one stitch at a time!!

[@lisatripp-hs5tm]

I loved your WIP parade. I am pretty much a monogamous stitcher. Maybe 2 at the most. I also stitch in hand. I have tried hoops and Q snaps, and I find them too bulky. Congrats to your granddaughter. I hope Mr. Saltbox feels better.

[@karenveilleux7176]

Thanks Carol! Hope you stay healthy and Mr. Saltbox gets to feeling better soon. Love ya!

[@dianeruno4942]

All kinds of beautiful Carol- can't wait to see your progress! I was watching you and stitching on my own Mary Carr.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Oh thank you! Of course when I watched it back I realized I said Mary Clark instead of Mary Carr. Sorry about that!!!

[@dianeruno4942]

I'm working my way across the *$%& grass and the quirky animals!@@saltboxstitcher

[@JaneandMolly5166]

I'm enjoying your video from a hotel room in Jacksonville. Perfect timing!!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Perfect!

[@elizabethapodaca9020]

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@PatterC]

So excited to see your Ann Grimshaw finish. Truly stunning. I have the pattern I just haven’t started yet. After looking at the hand-drawn squares, I set it aside. Ha ha. Loved the entire parade you shared. Thank you.

[@saltboxstitcher]

You can do it!

[@estherovalle7909]

Happy New Year to both. Thank you for sharing all your beautiful work 😊

[@slim1one]

Your Ann Grimshaw is stunning! I’ll never be tired of hearing about it or looking at it. I have this pattern on my wish list at 124stitch. Need to take the plunge!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you!!

[@susanacevedo3552]

Hi carol, wishing you and your family a happy new year and of course wonderful to see your whip parade loves seeing all of the samplers. They’re just so beautiful happy stitching. Cheers.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you! You too!

[@catherinelaurent5219]

Thank-you for sharing your Parade of beautiful framed designs. your husband is so sweet to get you coffee, love the cup. Congratulation to your granddaughter. Thank-your son in law for his service my husband was in the Navy during Vietnam. Congratulation on finishing Ann Grimshaw, I am looking forward to seeing it framed, I hope your husband starts feeling better soon. Congratulations on your finishes and progress on all your stitching. Thank-you for sharing your WIP Parade.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you for sharing your wips. It encourages those of us with our own. Happy New Year!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you!

[@bethhuisman1722]

First, thanks for your video, and its good to see you again! I'm one of those who (feels driven?) stitches the border bones first. After everything meets up on the border, you can just relax, or carry on. 😊

[@saltboxstitcher]

I totally agree! Thanks for watching!

[@periwinklestitcher]

Amazing Carol! Happy new year to you both 🎉 love from a bitterly cold Wales x

[@lisadolson6598]

I never get tired of seeing your beautiful Ann Grimshaw!! Congrats on your finish! It is amazing! Nice to see all of your lovely WIPs!

Thank you so much!

[@deloreschambers5152]

Thank you for another wonderful video. I so look forward to yours.

[@saltboxstitcher]

So nice of you to say, thank you.

[@KentuckySampler]

I was SO happy to see your video on que today! I've been stitching on His Eye Is On The Sparrow for ages. I am a monogamous, s-l-o-w stitcher. I love seeing your WIPS and progress. ❤

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thanks so much!!! I’ll be starting Consider the Lillies when I finish Eye on the Sparrow.

[@red_river_stitcher]

Love your WIP parade!!! I was tickled to see that you’re stitching Sweet Temper! I just love that one! I have it kitted and ready but haven’t put in a single stitch. You’ve inspired me again! Many 😊 thanks!

[@charj57]

5:08 I loved what your husband did with pic in pic. What a techie guy!! My techieness is turning on my new phone and I fault at that at times.

[@porthesia]

Thank you for sharing your gorgeous work

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@DownAllisonRoad]

I love seeing all of your WIPs! Thanks for sharing. It’s so funny the way we all approach things so differently, too. I could never stitch a border, especially one that is basically just a wonky line, before stitching anything else. I’m definitely a “border as I go” stitcher.

[@lorriemoreau8894]

Happy New Year Carol ❤ your flosstubes always do my heart good, you need to keep going with the WIP parade until you get to Ann Rayner, I finally managed to get the chart but I’m a bit intimidated, it’s not an easy chart to read. Hope Mr Saltbox feels better soon, hats off to him for the great parade music. Xx

[@saltboxstitcher]

I love Ann too!!! She’ll be in my WIP parade part 2. And yes the chart is nearly impossible to read which is one of the reasons she is still a WIP but I definitely want to finish her sooner than later!!!

[@Kitchensurprise]

Loved your parade! Hope the Hubs feels better soon and you stay well

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@faeriepabich6414]

Always love a Saltbox Parade! Can’t wait to spend time with you in 2024! As always, everything is gorgeous!

Thanks so much!!

[@laurabermel8693]

I am such a fan of all their quilts but my favorites are Happy Go Lucky, Chelsea’s “Dazzling” made in Simply Delightful and the Coastal Summer Medallion Quilt. I could go one. I really appreciate Sherri’s Block of the Month. Thank you for all you and Fat Quarter Shop do for the quilting community!

[@dianecarey6664]

Loved your WIP parade! I enjoy watching them. It is fun to see all the different projects! Your Ann Grimshaw is beautiful!

[@cindiejensen3555]

Carol, you do such beautiful work. I would love to just be. Able to stitch with you and learn your process. Beautiful work and I love your floss tube.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you! You too!

[@barbarahouser]

I love a Parade!! What a beautiful finish of Ann Grimshaw...hope to purchase my silk & get it started before the end of January. Your last video inspired me to pull out my kitted "Gathering of the Greens" I started it on New Year's Day and finished it this week. I love that chart but all those berries in the border were a true test of my patience!! I saw so many in your WIP parade that I want to stitch, you are the best enabler and I love spending time with you!!! I hope Professor Saltbox is feeling better. He does a wonderful job as your Editor & Publisher. See you next time! xoxoxo

[@saltboxstitcher]

Aww thanks so much. I get enabled by so many stitchers too!! Especially if I have it kitted. I hope to get back to Gathering the Greens. Maybe Christmas in July. It was 80 degrees here yesterday so I’m ready to stitch spring.

[@barbarahouser]

Wow, I thought we were in the middle of a heat wave at 50 degrees, but I hear Snow is making a comeback this week! Happy stitching !

[@teacherlovesbeauty]

Your video comes up while i am grading papers, and I am happy!😂

Never tire of seeing all your WIPS and finishes. So inspiring. Beautiful.

[@jennifers4051]

Carol, I will never get tired of hearing about your Ann Grimshaw! She is just gorgeous!! ❤❤❤ And you have that many WIPS?? I thought I had a lot at 14/17... 😮 I also LOVE your Ann Uffindel! WOWZA Hugs and Love, Jennifer PS I keep editing my comments because I see even more of your gorgeous stitching to comment on! Jane Atkinson ...another major WOWZA... Gorgeous!! Sigh... thank you for showing all the loveliness!!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Oh thank you! I certainly have choices to stitch on!!! The big dilemma is…. Do I stitch a lot on a few or a little on a lot? Decisions decisions!!

[@jennifers4051]

@@saltboxstitcher I totally get that!!! Lol 🤣

[@kathyb7636]

Beautiful Parade!!! Loved every minute! I think the Needle & Flax linen that has some greet to it is Alcott which I like very much! I hope Mr. Saltbox feels better soon and that you do not catch it!!!😷

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thanks so much!

[@georgiaobrien8393]

Amazing Carol! So, so many gorgeous WIPs! I love the Ellen Strick by Scarlett House - have not seen it before this flosstube - now on my wish list! And, my goodness- Ann Grimshaw is exceptional! You are a prolific stitcher - always amazed by you. Cheers to a another wonderful year with you and Mr. Saltbox Stitcher❤

Thank you so much!

[@cindygaudet1390]

Wip parade yay! A Carol wip parade yipeee yayy🎉🎉 lol thanks cos it’s takes a lot of work! Congratulations to Camille! Sure hope he doesn’t have the crud we had, 3 weeks till we got better. Wicked cough and cold. Feel better soon! You got all that done in 2 weeks! Amazing ❤ your stitching is never boring cos you do so many diff things and all so beautiful. Lol welcome to my world, gotta love him. I stitch in hand except 36 I need a hoop and 3.5 mags. I can stitch lower in-hand with mags (ever since my cataract surgery sigh). See you next time,hopefully everyone is well!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you!! We are well and he is doing much better!! I wear 4.0 readers. So far that works for me!!

[@wandamccoll3739]

Ann Grimshaw and Hannah Tingey are both gorgeous!!! Elizabeth Charnelay is such a sweet sampler! It was such fun to see your WIPs. They are never boring!!! I was reminded how much I love the Mary Carr sampler by NWP. I may have to start that this year! I hope Mr. Saltbox feels better soon and I really hope you are not catching anything. Thanks as always, Carol and happy stitching!

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thanks so much!!!!I love Mary Carr too even though I called her Mary Clark. lol

Keep doing your homework when you have time. Love it and all the time you put into all your lovely projects then you share them with us. Hope your husband feels better real soon. Love you !

Re-watching today while ironing and cutting for the #tinyninepatchchallenge , I love your videos and all your stitching. You inspire me so much! I bought Gathering the Greens after the first time I watched this and I still want to get Ann Grimshaw and Jane Atkins. My husband always asks what Mr Saltbox is up too when he hears your voice. 💖
