Saltbox Stitcher [Episode 120] "Fall Show and Tell" 

I was so absolutely excited as soon as Jean announced this cruise that I even asked for 10/12 off so that I will be ready for registration at 11 ET on the dot!!! I've done 4 cruises with Jean so far and have loved every single one of them so this will be every bit as much fun, made even more so by the chance to meet you, Deb and Liz.

Your work is beautiful - remember travelling from Toronto to West Palm and stopping in Jacksonville --- a wonderful sign on top of a hospital on a freeway said "Delivering Miracles Daily".

Another lovely visit. I have the same boundaries too Carol. Some fun stitching. Blessings and happy stitching.

Belated Happy Birthday, dear Carol. Wow, your finished sampler was just wow! Wow! Wow! And because of your positive influence, Carol, I bought some haul / present to myself: A Map of Hawk Row Hollow, fully kitted. I will start it, as soon as it arrives, I promise. How exciting: a cruise, I am seriously thinking about it.

Carol - Your stitching is so beautiful! Congratulations on the over one for the lamb and the way you have to make compensating stitches that surround it for the lawn. A good reminder. And you're very brave to have done that on 46 count!

As always, your stitching is so inspiring - thank you for sharing your work. I enjoyed your autumn show and tell and I’m looking forward to stitching some fall pieces too! Thanks again.

Hi Carol, enjoyed seeing all your fall finishes and congratulations on your sampler finish…beautiful. Thanks for sharing your time with us. Terri

Sweet Carol, Happy, Happy Birthday! Those things come around so much faster than they used to....lol. So glad you had a celebration with your family. Hold them tight, every chance you get. My sweet Mister has the same one coming up in December, but I never dreamed we'd be celebrating it with his constant major health issues. I have come to realize that life seldom turns out like we'd planned but God is good and there are still blessings in the midst of the worst storms. Your Margaret Cheetham "Jello" Sampler is GORGEOUS!!! I can't focus on anything that intense right now but some day I'd love to start that one. You never cease to amaze me with all your Samplers, Finishes, Charts, and Kitted Projects. It is so inspiring and wonderful to see your work and see your smiling face and your passion for the stitching that brings us so much joy! The Cruise sounds wonderful and how I wish I could be there, but for everything there is a season....So I will be content to spend time with you online and hope that some day we can have a chat or even meet in person. Thank you so much for all you do to share the Light within you and know that it shines brightly! xoxoxoxo

Thank you for sharing all your beautiful and inspiring work with us! I always enjoy your flosstubes.

Cruising with all of you would be soooooo fun! Autumn blessings and hugs

Enjoyed spending time with you Carol! What wonderful pieces you have created. Thank you!

Ur a lovely stitcher I enjoy your work and your choices of charts

Loved this video. All of your pieces are wonderful. I'm excited for you & Mr. Saltbox to be going on such an awesome trip. Have a great week and happy stitching.

Very Nice Fall Pieces. Good idea to leave a Note when you borrow a floss from one to go into another. Ummm, "The Sixth Sense" w/ Bruce Willis. Beautiful work, nice progress, great designers, love all the charts. Oh, that will be a fun Cruise!!! Hmmm, maybe teach a small tropical design with a couple fun specialty stitches & an easy finish.

Happy Belated Birthday, Carol! I look forward to your Fall stitching every year. It would be a blast to meet Mr Saltbox on the cruise!🤣and you, of course!😂 anyway, it sounds like fun.

Have a great weekend and love all your beautiful stitching! 😊🪡🧵🤗🤩

As always, a wonderful video. I love the opportunity to see your in season finishes, past and present. Thank you Mr.Saltbox for your “techi” contributions!

Another FUN time with you!! Your projects are as beautiful as ever. Elizabeth Cheetham, what a lot of work. It paid off, so beautiful. Can't wait to see it framed. Your other WIPs are great, too. I already knew what your news was going to be. Saw Liz and Deb's flosstube recently, and they spilled the beans. 😂 I'm going to look into the info regarding the cruise. Would love to meet you all. Happy belated birthday, also. Sounds like you enjoyed your time with family and going to a favorite restaurant. I'll be waiting for your next time to share with us your faithful fan club. Until then, thanks for all you both do for our enjoyment!!! ❤ya, Donna

Thanks for ‘coming over’ this afternoon Carol! Loved seeing your Autumn stitching and you!🍁🍂🍁

Hi Carol, loved this floss tube. Autumn is my favourite season with the amazing sunsets and beautiful golds, oranges, browns and purples as Mother Nature puts on one last show before winter. The stitches you have done for autumn are fabulous and the colours so cozy. Thankyou so much xxx

Gorgeous samplers for September! Enjoyed the fall finishes as well! So many lovely colours in autumn. Happy stitching.

The Silver Needle has all of those Workbasket monthly Quakers/bookmarks. I help! Loved seeing your wips and September Samplers.

Wonderful floss tube..again 🎉🍁🍃. The finish, the Wips, the smalls.. everything is superb. Love seeing it all. Autumn is the season of nature's colors. Enjoyed every minute. Thank you for the info, as always. A cruise! Yeah. Quite a consideration, to be sure. Congratulations! Enjoy the stitching!

Need to get Gather Inn back out and finish!!!! I have always wanted to go on a cruise and this sounds spectacular!

Show me again! Anytime. I love your work and creative ideas.

Thanks for sharing your lovely stitching. Happy belated Birthday! I went on the cruise this past January, it was wonderful! We are hoping to go on the cruise in February of 2026. Have a good week. 😊🪡

Hello Carol belated happy birthday. I love the jello sampler look forward to seeing it framed. I enjoy seeing your beautiful samplers you achieve so much stitching. Happy stitching.

Your stitching is always stunning. It’s amazing how much you get done. Thank you for another terrific video. The cruise sounds amazing

Good to see you Miss Carol. Happy Birthday!

A beautiful finish. Wow! The cruise sounds fabulous!

Love love you and your stupendous cross stitching -cruise sounds delicious never been on one before-sure would be a once in a lifetime opportunity ❣️🥰 see you next time❤

Love your autumn smalls. So exciting to hear you are going on the Floss-tube at Sea Cruise in 2026! Cheers.

I always thought he called it the jello sampler because those hills look like jello that came out of a mold! And I agreed! 😂 They are bright and jello colors!

Carol...thanks for such a sweet posting...awesome stitching on everything you shared...congratulations on the sampler you completed...best wishes and happy stitching ❤❤

Happy Birthday! September is also my birthday month; I believe I'm a year younger...but who's counting! Have fun on the cruise when it happens!

Beautiful sampler finish! I am enjoying seeing your progress on all you showed. You have dome really cute Fall ffos, too. Thank you for gathering up all the eye candy for us to see. The cruise sounds wonderful! ❤

Late Happy Birthday 🎈 … enjoyed your video today and I loved all of your wips, finishes and your fall parade … it was fabulous … until next time Happy Stitching 🧵 … 😊❤ Dena

The samplers you are working on are amazingly beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing and taking the time to post!

Happy Birthday. Thank you for sharing. Not enabled at all!🤣

Always love your 'show and tell'! Am doing a couple of these Fall pieces myself, so your finishes are inspiring to see. Congrats on the cruise invite. I have a hard time imagining stitching and bathing suits with suntan oil, but fun will be had, I am sure! Many fall blessings and happy stitching!

Happy belated birthday! 🎈🎂🥳Beautiful autumn stitches! And congratulations on finishing Eliz. Cheetham!! Wow! Perfection! Happy stitching!❤

Thank you, Carol, and belated happy birthday! Your samplers are gorgeous! That chart by Brenda Gervais is Hilda Boo & Sunflowers, Too!

Loved all your fall finishes. Thanks for sharing. Love ya!

As always, a great video! Thanks for sharing your finishes. Smell My Feet by La-d-da is a freebie (I printed off a few days ago). Just when I told myself “no more additional stuff”, your fall finishes have enabled me. Oh well, that’s why we watch…right?😊

Cruising with Jean is lots of fun.

I enjoy your videos so much!!! Love all of your projects, beautiful, exciting news about a cruise!!!

Thanks for visiting with me on this beautiful Sunday afternoon while I stitch on Halloween Parade by Pinker n Punkin 🎃 The cruise sounds like a blast!

You inspired me to do Autumn on Lazy Bear Mountain. I love everything about it. Itnterestung to consider this is more of a mourning sampler than just Fall. Take care!

Carol I had heard about your cruise on the sable stitchers video. Sounds fabulous! I would love it❤.Thank you for a great video & letting me buy gifts for me😂😂❤

Enjoyed seeing all your adorable finishes! 😊

What a wonderful video! I love fall stitching & you showed so much eye candy 🎃🧡🤩! The cruise sounds fun, but I can’t be out in the middle of an ocean without losing my mind, lol. But enjoy it will be a blast I’m sure. Happy belated birthday 🎉

Your show and tells are the best! And, yes, your stitching IS beautiful! Happy Birthday! Mine is this month, too…great September babies!😊

😊 what do you mean to the fall semester is over. Do you mean christmas? I shall die by then but feel no pressure. How can I last that long. Oh boy I better get mentally ready. I live for you too 🥰

Great video as always! I always look forward to watching you!

Happy Happy Birthday, Carol! I am glad you got to spend your special day with your family. I loved seeing all your pieces - WIPs and Autumn collection. I am sure I have missed mention in the past but do you stitch in hand, with a hoop or a q-snap? Your stitching is so gorgeous!

That sounds like a FUN time!!

Happy birthday! Thanks for sharing all your wonderful stitches.

Beautiful sampler projects but the fall pieces hit the spot! Also thanks for showing your Halloween at Hollyberry Farm! Started it on my birthday and I love it so much! By the way! Happy Belated Birthday! We were almost birthday twins! The cruise sounds so heavenly!!!!Dreaming!!!

Your stitching is also gorgeous, Carol

Enjoyed your in-progress stitches as well as all of the beautiful finishes you shared. You mentioned sawdust for stuffing. Where does one obtain quality sawdust for stuffing smalls? Please and thank you.

Uh oh!!! I just gave you a thumbs up, and my number was 666. Get thee behind me, Satan! 😳 JK. I know you don’t draw the numbers. Anyway, as always, loved your video. Loved seeing all of the autumn goodness. That all makes perfect sense when I see you hold up one of your patterns and I think, “Yep! I have that pattern too!” Are we sisters??? We must at least be cousins. Hello to Mr. Saltbox and have a wonderful Fall semester. Happy stitching to you, Carol. See you next time! ❤

Beautiful finishes. What do you do with your pieces?

What count of linen did you use on halloween at hollyberry farm? And colour? Did you say Mink?

Do you do your own lacing on finished pieces?

Do u stitch in hand

I will never tire of saying I absolutely love your stitching. It would be great if you could say what size your pieces finish at.
