Saltbox Stitcher[Episode 114] " WIP Commitments & More Patriotic Stitching" 

Have you ever been asked “if you could sit and talk with anyone, who would it be?” Well Carol, hands down it would be you. To spend an afternoon talking with and learning from you, would be a dream come true. Your talent and your knowledge just blow me away.

Give me all the patriotic cross-stitch!!! They are my very favorites!!!! 🇺🇸

The Beast is Beautiful -as is all you do. Thank you for sharing.

Loved the photos of you and your husband…the glowing look of happiness on your faces….❤ Great video as always Carol! Thanks for sharing with us. 😊

Life has been busy so happy to day stitching ‘O Sweet Humility’ and visit with you. Blessings and happy stitching.

I just love your videos. You inspire me! And your banter with Mr Saltbox is adorable! Happy stitching everyone.

I’m only 2 weeks behind, but just getting some time to watch your video……Oh My!!! What beautiful samplers you are working on! Jane Atkinson is AMAZING! My LNS is over an hour of city driving away, so I don’t get there often……it is always so inspirational to see all your works…..Thank you for sharing! Loved the pic of you and Mr. Saltbox over 100 years ago!!🤗

Length of your videos is perfect. Perfect like your work/ projects, displays, presentations etc etc etc. You are just perfect!!😊

Always inspiring. You are such a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤

It is true. The sharing is wonderful, whether or not you have an LNS. Floss tubes are motivating. Yours has humor and soooo many beautiful pieces. And you’re also a mirror for us to look in! “Why haven’t I completed this? Why haven’t I started this? I need to get this done!” I just love watching you. Thank you for sharing. ❤

As always, I simply adore you and Professor Saltbox. Thank you both for your time, talent and treasures! ❤

Carol, Your the best. Thank youso much for sharing.Thank you to your husband. He is so sweet.♥

Another wonderful, inspiring video. Thanks Carol. Happy stitching!

I always love watching your floss tube and seeing your projects. I do not have a LNS so seeing finishes is great! Thank you for sharing so much inspiration. The photo of you and Mr Saltbox is adorable, what a cute couple!

Thanks for sharing! You look very lovely in that color!

Make the copy!! Love your videos, they bring me so much joy.

Thank you (and your very tall hubs😳😎) for making these videos, sharing your wips and finishes and your EXCELLENT stash with us! 😊💖. Guess you don’t realize it, but you ARE an excellent stitcher to learn from, to admire your work on your walls☺️, and to see what the designers were doing years ago - again, your stash is exceptional - most especially all your KITTED projects!👏🏻👏🏻😊💖. Have a great couple of weeks!

You know the saying, Carol "Sharing is caring". When I was going to my local EGA meetings, one.of most fun things was everyone.looking and discussing each other's stitching. I love seeing ALL of it.😊

Carol, I will forever watch your videos, no matter if too short or long. Your content is so inspiring. Always enjoy Prof. Mike’s input. His video editing is fabulous! You two are a hoot together!

Hi Carol and to all your stitchy friends. Thank YOU for spending an hour with us all, it is so much appreciated. So inspiring to see your beautiful work regardless of the state of being finished or just started. How great is it to have your upcoming trip to look forward to. I could say that a lot of us is just a little bit jealous(in a good way). Hoping you safe travels and have a wonderful time with family. Now for the 64K question. What is a portrait... a painting, drawing, photograph, or engraving of a person, especially one depicting only the face or head and shoulders. Look forward to the next time we get to see you. Happy stitching! Pamela A/PA (also a special thank you to Prof Saltbox)

You are such an inspiration to me! Your projects are absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

Always a joy to sit and stitch with you! I just love your humor and hearing you and Mr Saltbox chatter at each other is delightful. Your stitching is amazing and I appreciate learning things from you. (For example, I never would have considered that red, white, and blue fabric from a distance can read purple!) You are knowledgeable and I love drooling over the things you stitch. Sometimes because they're out of print others because although I may never want to stitch it, they are nevertheless lovely! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing what you are working on. I enjoy watching your videos ❣️

Carol, it's kinda like having a stitchy friend too. XO

Hi Carol! I read a couple of comments and I agree with these ladies…don’t sell yourself short! I would love to meet and sit with you and just chat and pick your brain about cross stitching and quilting! And I love the interaction between you and your husband! He’s so sweet! Also so tall! 😅Lol! Love seeing all your stitching and WIPS and finished projects and what you wanna stitch! Happy travels with your sister and happy stitching!

Carol, another wonderful video. I wish you could see yourself as we see you…..an amazing human!!!❤❤

I love watching flosstube while I am stitching. I have a few favorites and you have become one of them .😊🪡🪡

One nation is so pretty. Seasons of the heart I liked as well, and that little finished pillow that you took out of the box behind you.

Thanks for sharing~I enjoy everything you share every time! And what an adorable photo of you and hubby!

Love you and Mr. Salt Box! You are both so cute!

Your video guy and you “100 years ago,” wow! Your hair! So pretty! Mr tall and handsome. I just love your video visits. And the editing is superb. 🎉❤ Happy stitching!

Thank you for the patriotic inspiration, my friend. Take care and happy spring!

Loved this video with all your pending patriotic stitches! Ordered two charts while watching! So thank you!

Thank you for another wonderful episode. I completely agree with you about if you don't have an LNS floss tube is a great way to feel connected and not feel like I am stitching alone. Keep up the amazing work on those samplers I love seeing your progress on all your WIPS. Happy Stitching!

Really enjoy your videos! The samplers, smalls, upcoming starts, wip’s…I like them all! You mentioned at the start of the video about printing free charts & kitting them as gifts is a great idea. Most look small and would be a quick stitch & memory of the event. This patriotic stitching season will be fun! Have fun with your sister.

I love your finish of "It's Berry Time" and all your patriotic charts. It was fun seeing Mr. Saltbox, I don't think I've ever seen him before.

All your pieces are beautiful, but the Scarlet Letter with the gigantic tree is stunning. I love the multiple colors. And can I say , that blue shirt is your color. 😊 Have a wonderful trip.

Love what you show…I don’t have a local store…love the old patterns too. Thanks for your pictures of the two of you. Have a great week.

Wonderful episode, Carol! You've got me itching to do some patriotic stitching! Love ya!

You can copy it. Just as long as you are not selling it for profit. Thanks Carol and wonderful hubby ❤! God Bless!

Love the photograph of your younger years. We all need to remember what we once looked like. I’ve not been a sampler stitcher as borders seem to bore me but I’m finding myself falling in love with them. I’m going to start with some Plum Street & Brenda Gervis. I need more stash-right! Ha!!

You two are just the best! Love the picture❤️

Loved your new video and you still crack me up!! Great pictures of you and Mr. Saltbox Stitcher. Love everything you stitch and looking forward to your next video plus I am watching all of your videos from the beginning!!

I don’t understand how someone I’ve never met before bring me so much joy! Thank you for all you share.

Thanks for another wonderful video. Love ya! And loved the picture of you and your hubby!

You are amazing Carol! Keep on stitching!

Love the dress you were wearing in your "youth" picture, and what a handsome couple yesterday and today. Welcome to Wisconsin in a few weeks, we are very green and early flowers/trees are in bloom. Moral Mushrooms are just coming on, oh so good fried in Wisconsin butter. I am just west of Spring Green at the Mushroom Capital - Muscoda. Love all your stitching and love your husband's input on your videos. Have a safe trip on your vacation.

Great projects and progress. We love the same colors as you. It's like we speak the same language.

Always love seeing your work but picture was an added bonus. My husband and I have been married 54 years and brought back memories of being young and in love.

Carol, don't sell yourself short. You are the reason that I started watching flosstube. You were my first and I will be forever grateful. Thank you for sharing yourself with this community. You are a pleasure to spend time with.

You are very funny and a fantastic stitcher.Kisses from Madrid, Spain

I look forward to whatever you have to show each video - and you and your husband are hilarious together. (You by yourself are quite amusing, also!) Thanks for the video and I know it is a lot of work to get it all together.

Wowza, some more beautiful Samplers and love all of your patriotic stitches, my head is still spinning, so many to do and all just so beautiful. I learn so much from you, wish I could sit and stitch with you!

I love watching your video’s. Your right, I don’t have a local LNS so I get all my inspiration from seeing what other stitches are doing.

I don't comment often because I'm stitching while watching. I love watching you though. I'm so inspired by you. Thank you for sharing.

I love so much of what you stitch and even have some of the patterns and a few that I've finished as well!!!! Keep all the "whatever" parades going, I love them. I have finally convinced myself that any Plum Street is going to take much longer than I think - I love every one of them but for me they just aren't quick stitches!

Carol I love your choices I always have to take screenshots of the patterns you are working on or going to work on so I can go purchase them. I always feel inspired and just want to get to stitching! You and your hubby are so funny also! ❤

Thank you. Love your stitching. ❤️

Wow - your large pieces are amazing and I hope you succeed in finishing them this year 🤞🍀 thankyou for sharing your stitching I love watching your floss tube and am so glad I found you, love and best wishes Karen xx

So love to see all your beautiful projects! Thank you so much for sharing. I hope you and Mr Saltbox have a wonderful weekend and week ahead! 🙏🙏🙏

You guys are so cute. Love your videos and your stitching. See you next time.

I enjoy watching your videos. You have a fun collection of patterns.

We have put Karen in our Prayers for healing, good idea to print free charts and share, nice progress on Hawk Run, love Blackbird Designs, you have some amazing designs in the works, love Scattered Seeds has so many lovely designs, love her clubs. Love your framed stitching, so lovely and the perfect frames. love your new stash, I love Patriotic designs. Your husband is so charming to say he loves you on video, love the adorable photo, you are so lovely, even today, your husband is so handsome in the photo. Have a great stitching week.

I laugh our first house had red wallpaper with gold eagles in kitchen it was 1971 and I could not wait to tear that off!! You always inspire me with your stitching and quilts

Love the patriotic music.. I wanted to get out of my chair and sing the pledge of allegiance… lol… but the chair was way to comfortable .. 🥰🪡🪡🪡🪡 always a super time with you and hubby 💕💕🪡🪡🪡🪡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Loved your then and now pics! ❤

Great progress on your samplers. Love all of the Patriotic choices you have. That is going to be a fun trip! Marilyn

Thanks for an Awesome flosstube. You are correct, no lnd shops in Georgia, so I watch flosstube to see what's out there and then have to order online. I like under an hour time limit. 😊 Have a safe trip!!❤

Thank you for sharing once again.

Always fun Carol!🪡👍

Thanks again for video - your sampler stitching is awesome - as are all your projects - have a great week

Oh..miss carol...I absolutely love u an ur stitching an videos...I have the same taste in decor/ stitchy style as u ,so I'm always writing down ur projects name ECT so I can do them tooo.. Love the video...I watch all of ur videos over an over... ♥️✝️♥️

Mr Saltbox looks super tall in the photo. I think Bailey needs to make an appearance too. I have a golden named Cooper and he watches your videos with me. I enjoy all of your stitching. Thanks Carol.

Great video, as always😊Thanks for sharing it was so much fun.

Love your flosstube, and love you!

Thanks Carol. ❤🪡💯

Just love your floss tube

Love your husband "kibitizing" in the background, reminds me of my grandfather. :}

Really enjoyed Carol..& those 4 samplers you want to finish this year are fabulous so gorgeous ❣️ enjoy your smalls I usually work on mine first thing in morning easy to pick up and put in a few stitches in a hour or so .Tammy Black does a fantastic club first club I ever joined and she has other great sampler designs as well😘 loved seeing your photos you two are a great looking couple & certainly aged well💞 take good care see ya around the block._LaNelle

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. You are right- without an LNS - I depend on flosstube for inspiration, ideas, tips and guidance. Thank you for all you share.

Thank you for another wonderful video. Your stitching is amazing. I loved seeing your picture from a hundred years ago. What a good looking couple you two are. My best to Mr. Saltbox. Have a great week and happy stitching. Oh, I don't think making a working copy from your friend's chart is wrong since you both purchased the pattern. I say go for it.

Wow, you and Mr Saltbox in your younger days! (whistling!) He's very tall! I'm starting a couple patriotic pieces for Maynia. I don't have enough to display. I think an hour of listening to you talk about and show your stitching works for me👍🏽😁

I love a long video! Specially yours. The pic of you and Mike, I adore it! You guys were too dang cute and ps your daughter really does favor you, can really tell there. Thanks for sharing ! I swear Steve and I have pics of us that look so similar teehee.

"Ooh, I really love this one", "Now why haven't I stitched this one", "This one i've had kitted for a 100 years, what are you waiting for?" The struggle is real, my friend. I think we're all in the same boat! And we aren't bailing water fast enough! 😅😅 Great inspirational video, as always!

Thanks Carol for another wonderful flosstube. Your samplers are gorgeous and you have so many wonderful smalls. What if you spent a whole month doing smalls? I wonder how many you could complete, it would be very interesting. Thanks to Mr Saltbox for his wonderful contributions to your Chanel. Thanks I brought the series from scattered seed, I just love those birds. Love and blessings xx

Again thank you ❤

Love each and every episode you post. I am one of those people without a LNS so flosstube is a great resource for me. Makes me feel like I belong to a community also,

The HOUSE -- on "You're a Grand Old Flag" -- whoa! I'm Canadian; our patriotism us...um...let's just say...more muted than you folks south of our border -- BUT as a stitcher, that HOUSE! Whoa! I'm not as "hepped up" about houses as some...and I don't think I've made *any* sampler as large as those on which you've worked (at least, not yet) -- so you have my complete admiration for doing THAT HOUSE!

The flax I’m using is almost yellow! Which I love!! I’m using it for La-de-da The Yellow Bird!! I decided since it’s name is yellow bird it should be yellow also my favorite color!! Yours are always so beautiful!!

Thank you Carol for sharing you stitches. Without you I would not know about Blackbird Designs. I have been collecting them since Covid. I have also been shopping the OOP Blackbird Charts. And maybe one day I will have as many charts as you😂

That 100 year photo is hilarious. We all have one hiding somewhere! Hubby still has my high school graduation photo on his desk.

Always enjoy your videos! 🙂

I always enjoy your videos. Your analogy to FlossTube being like seeing samples in an LNS is right on. Thank you for sharing what you do.

I love all you do. It makes me happy to listen to you. Thank you😊

Carol you are always a treat. The blue linen blouse you wore in this video is very becoming and it looks so cool, springlike. You are right about stitchers who do not have a local shop. I live outside a small town and Hobby Lobby is about an hour away. So watching flosstubes allows me to see pieces in progress or finished that I don’t know about and might want to order from one of the online shops. Just looking at your walls is so inspirational. Thank you for showing them in each video. Does your sister stitch as much as you do? What fun to have a sister who stitches too. Take care. Carol in Texas

Love all your projects!

I love watching and listening to you Carol and your projects are so beautiful to see. Btw stitching and all things associated are definitely a disease but one I happily suffer 😂

I have tried to get a good screenshot of that pretty floral leaning against your lamp…got it this time!! I knew had to be a Blackbird Designs. Spring Fling! Love your videos!! Beautiful stitches! ❤

As usual I love your videos! All of your work is beautiful. I have never been to a needle work shop to see samplers in person so I really enjoy seeing all of yours.

Hi Miss Carol. All of your wips are great choices. The question of portrait or landscape. Well, it's a landscape in portrait format. Enjoyed your flosstube today.
