the Saltbox Stitcher [Episode 93] " What are your 5 by 5's ? "

[@Mom2020xstitch]

OK I just have to say I had to take a few months off in the winter time so I have caught all up and I feel like I don’t remember hearing the music before. Then the breaks for coffee. I think it’s genius! The music reminds me of my husband sitting and listening to me go on and on and on. Then we catch glimpses of or hear your husband it reminds me of Mr. Wilson from home improvement over the fence that we never see. I am enjoying your videos so much as usual but even more now. When I hear that music I snicker to myself😂😂 I just love it!! Say hello to Mr Saltbox, both of you have a great week! ❤RG

[@brendaoldyarnsteryahoo328]

Shakespeare's Peddler always has something pretty and interesting.

[@genealogylinda9858]

Carol, just too many ideas & never enough time! Enjoyed the video. Peddler

[@athenabesa380]

I love Shakespeare’s Peddler’s samplers, too! Take care

[@kathierichards3531]

Great color on you! Such fun and beauty for sure. Enjoy your precious time with family and those adorable dancers. Hugs

[@sheilasmith3977]

Love you show. peddler

[@khayes9591]

LOL! The gold frame. I get it though. That particular frame is a different kind of gold, but it was very funny.

[@donnastrang8913]

As always, pure joy!! Your stitchings are truly amazing. You are my fav!! Thanks for sharing all your stash. Until next time, Happy Stitching. ❤ya!!, Donna PS- Thanks to Mr. Saltbox too.👍👍

[@caroldidier1949]

Thanks for showing all the lovely Shakespeare’s Peddler designs by Theresa Venette. I love her stitchytubes as well, and her shop is always full of inspiration. Hope your 5 by 5 goes well. I enjoyed seeing all your WIP borders. I really love sampler borders, and feel compelled to stitch the border first. I am still a monogamous stitcher. I get weighed down if I have more than one project going. But I am jealous of all you stitchers who have so many options! I’m afraid if I did that, I would just stand in front of my WIP basket and look like I was posing for The Scream.

[@saltboxstitcher]

I have moments like that too! I’m finally feeling like really digging my teeth (obviously not literally) into these pieces so I get get decent progress, and then be motivated to finally finish at least 2 of them this year! Hope that makes sense!

[@judemack8604]

I am overwhelmed by your ambitious amount of kits and charts that you showed. Then I look at the amount that I have collected and not started and I start to understand.

[@saltboxstitcher]

I usually underestimate my time to stitch and overestimate how much I’ll get done. 🤣

[@red_river_stitcher]

Just in time for my Sunday stitching ♥️! Beautiful projects Carol! Really enjoyed seeing all the Shakespeare Peddler! There you go-enabling me again!!! Love ya!

[@bonnierogers812]

Carol, always enjoy your videos and seeing what samplers you are working on, and your banter with your hubby. Enjoyed the Shakespeare’s Peddler tour! Her patterns are great.

[@pamelaminch]

Wonderful video! I DO want to go where there’s great weather… and now I also want to stitch long skinny stockings!!! Peddler

[@triciamcdaniel7537]

I admire your ability to commit to work on certain samplers for a designated amount of time. Your samplers are beautiful and your quilts, too. Peddler is the word.

[@marilynferlitsch2003]

More great WIPS & future projects. The rug hooked piece is awesome. Marilyn

[@cindianderson1265]

As always, I enjoy your videos! Except that you are an enabler!!! I also have the finished Snapper village! And it's still up on my wall. I don't officially do 5x5, but I do tend to work on one project for awhile then switch up to another. I only stitch on my larger projects in the morning while I sit at the table, because as soon as I sit down to stitch at my spot on the couch, I am joined by 4 dogs!!! And that is definitely not a good time to stitch on anything big!!!! Love Ya! And thanks for the delightful videos!

[@shelleycrouch6223]

I love watching Jane and Julie. Shakespeare's Peddler patterns are beautiful.

[@sharonannc.3079]

Carol.. I look @ pieces not finished as distraction transactions 😅 I get bored with just cross stitches, if the sampler has specialty stitches 🧵 I’m on it like a train 🚂 While my pieces are large I relax with smalls … nice break So 5x5 4x4 or whatever won’t work for me, as I’m outside in Gods country 😊 enjoying all His beauty. Spring & Summer . I tend to stitch much more in the Fall & winter ❄️ Unlike peddlers they are always out working for their keep 😊 Blessings, Carol & Hubby the producer of your great videos Bravo 👏

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you!!! I like some specialty stitches but I get frustrated if they are too challenging. We’ll see how that goes when I get to the freehand embroidery on Ann Uffendill. 😳

[@trupple4725]

Look so forward to your FlossTube videos! My dad was an insurance peddler. I’m glad you are having beautiful weather. It snowed last night and is still snowing here in northern Wisconsin. 😩❄️

[@saltboxstitcher]

Oh my! I think I’ll stay in Florida!!!

[@trupple4725]

@@saltboxstitcher Good idea.

[@debbiewortman9209]

Peddler. Love your flosstube. Always look forward to them. Thanks to you and your husband for taking the time to do them

[@lindalee8040]

Peddler. Always enjoy your visits. I love everything you’ve done. You are a great example setter.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Awww thank you!

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Thanks Carol and Mike for the great podcasts you two make…Shakespeare’s Peddler has some beautiful patterns…you are so supportive of the many designers you feature…your wool rug is lovely…you two take care and Carol happy stitching ❤❤

[@dawnsabo5664]

I live in Orange Park! Hiya neighbor!! Your stitching is so beautiful!

[@gwenembardino2684]

Thanks for sharing all of Shakespeare Peddler charts. I am been wanting to start Two for Julia. Always enjoy the interaction between you and your husband.

[@leshacrawley8357]

I love Teresa’s charts! Thanks for sharing them with us. Would love the chance to win one. peddler

[@deanalenkner6024]

Peddler peddler peddler ❣️I have loved this chart for a very long time. It would be a blessing to receive it. I watch your videos from south central Kansas and am always truly amazed at your beautiful stitching. You are a jewel and thank you for all that you share with us.

[@karenmoseley9337]

I am amazed at the stitching you have planned and I know we'll be seeing some gorgeous finishes. When I was a little girl and was visiting my grandmother, I would be so happy when the baker/peddler would come by her house, open his the back of his car and all the aromas would waft my way.

[@linaburke2341]

Peddled is a beautiful chart. Thank you

[@loisschumacher9869]

Thanks, Carol, for another lovely video! I've told you before, but saying again, I just so enjoy watching/listening to you! What you like I like! Might consider doing the "5x5" for May. Like the idea of it for sure. Thanks for the Shakespeare's Peddler feature. I love her designs & have many of the ones you showed kitted.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Much appreciated!!! Your kind comments always inspire me to keep making these videos!!!

[@stephanieange8750]

Love your rug hooking finish. Kindred spirits! I started as a quilter, picked up rug hooking, then started punch needle…. got back in to cross stitch. We won’t talk about my collection of yarn though. 😁. Enjoyed seeing all the Shakespeare Peddler patterns. I didn’t realize that was Kitten Stitcher. Love your videos.

[@amandabauer1814]

I have a lot I want to do so I peddlers as fast I can! I am also going to 5/5 in May! Never done that before but I like the idea of touching some of my WIP sampler. Starting with The farms of Hawkrun Hollow!

[@patriciaflynn1683]

Carol, I love the 5 x 5 strategy. I am definitely going to try it beginning today. I have been stitching one sampler in the morning for a couple of hours (the same one every day), and one in the afternoon for a couple of hours, (a different one every day) but do not feel I am getting anywhere. Thank you for the idea! I, too, am a fan of Shakespeare's Peddler. You and your husband are very cute together.

[@saltboxstitcher]

Thank you so much!!!

[@ibeestitchin]

All the things you shared from Shakespeare’s Peddler were beautiful. And I absolutely loved your wool rug hooking piece!!! Thanks for sharing

[@DLNYTube]

Love, love, love your stitching! Kitten Stitcher sure has done a lot of samplers. She is a peddler of fine cross-stitch designs. Always watch her stitchy tubes. Thank you also for the Flosstube suggestions. Cheers.

[@kathymcdonald367]

I love your videos. Feel free to make them as long as you want. You have a wealth of knowledge that you are willing to share with so many. Thank you. Good luck on your 5 x 5 pieces. I look forward to the next video and hopefully you'll share your progress..

[@barbarawallin6162]

Your husband seems like such a great guy! I love that hooked rug, absolutely stunning!

[@carolynreynolds7779]

Wonderful motto on the Shakespeare's Peddler sampler. I think I will try the 5 x 5 strategy. Good luck with yours.

[@conniekainer1233]

I absolutely love the fun interaction between you and your husband and boy do your eyes light up during those times. Thanks for being a stitching inspiration! Peddler.

[@mariawells8026]

I enjoy your videos very much. You are blessed with such a funny and caring hubby!! I love the joking and interaction he has with you. Hope to a quilt video soon.

[@angelasawyer6714]

Peddler - I love how supportive and attentive your husband is! He’s so supportive with editing your videos, adding inserts and with just being willing to help you with your videos!

[@lindamelz242]

Great FT. Enjoy your 5x5 stitching. Thanks for the Theresa parade . She has some lovely charts and love her knowledge and humor. You rug is Gorgeous !!!

[@susansaunders397]

Thanks, Carol, for another great video❤️ Loved seeing your work as always, & your collection from Shakespeare’s Peddler. I, too, love her website & plan to order some fabric from her this week. I will continue my 6x5 rotation on some of my larger pieces (I choose 6 every month), but I’m adding in somewhere b/w 8 & 12 new starts in May. I’ve had a hard time deciding which ones, so I’m just going with whatever floats my boat on whatever day. I’m always a rule breaker if I “set in stone” a stitching plan😂 Can’t wait to see your next video & what beautiful projects you’ve been working on❤️🧵🪡

[@saltboxstitcher]

Floating boats are a good thing!!! I agree!

[@dollyyarborough2918]

Hello Carol...always having fun when I watch your FlossTube. Please thank Mr. Saltbox for the still photos, great way to really take in the stitching and beautiful threads. I’m with you, I’m not a fan of “gold” either...when it comes to bows, would rather have tartan plaid bows as opposed to gold bows. Thank you for pulling it all out for us, always love hearing your stitching strategy. Your stitching is gorgeous!

[@towmater1231]

Carol your husband is just the cutest! I wish my husband was as supportive as yours! And your 5x5 is a great idea! I would to stitch some Shakespeares peddler designs!

[@judyatkinson2499]

As always, I love watching. You’re such an enabler🙃. I also love Theresa and her beautiful patterns. Peddler is my hopeful word for the pattern. Thx for all you do.

Hi Carol! I love all of Shakespear Peddler designs as well. "A Savior's Praise" is kitted and screaming at me to begin. So much to do. So little time. Thank you for sharing!

Mr. Saltbox seems to have an amusing time editing your flosstubes. Always brings smiles. And yes, the "Running with Scissors" ladies are a hoot! Wonderfully real. Thanks, Carol, and have a good time with your 5x5 in May.

Oh, I once fell in love with a peddler, he was a dandy and a cad. Once he married me, I turned him into a Dad. 35 years later our life has been pretty darn great; i am very thankful for our first fortuitous date.

[@normaferro3190]

After watching and subscribing to your channel a few months back, I realized how much I love samplers, especially those by Shakespeare’s Peddler - I even signed up for 1884 Stitchery’s newsletter. Not ever having done a sampler, I think it’s high time I started one. Thank you, Carol, for a very enjoyable flosstube.🪡🧵

[@lindaspost2533]

Thank you Carol for sharing all your beautiful stitching and all the wonderful Shakespeare Peddler Charts. I just started A saviors praise. It’s such a beautiful chart. I love her designs. 🥰

Peddler is a word I haven’t heard in a long time. You are responsible for my cigar box addiction. I’m up to 12! I need an intervention.

[@bjoyp7463]

You are very brave stitching Ann Rayner on 46 count, I am doing it on 40 count and those tiny one over one sheep have been quite a challenge.
