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.
Aww my that’s quite a compliment!!! Thank you so much. You’re very kind!!!
Ps tho, I may be somewhat boring!!!! 🥱
Always inspiring. You are such a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤
Thank you so much Sarah!!! ❤️

Thank you! You too!
Always enjoy your videos! 🙂
I appreciate that! Thank you!
Thank you, Carol, for your lovely stitching. I have been stitching for about 11 years and am always blown away by stitchers I meet and at those I watch. Really fun and so comforting for me doing this hobby!
Thank you for watching!!! It is definitely a comforting hobby!!!❤️
Carolyn you are a blessing to watch. I love it when your husband has a few things to say.
Thanks so much
I love seeing your wonderful stitching! You are right. For those of us whose LNS is far away, flosstube provides that eye candy. Loved seeing the patriotic parade. I wrote down several. Thank you for your time and effort; the Prof’s too. Happy stitching! Hugs.❤
P.S. Loved the picture!!!
Oh thank you!
I just love your videos. You inspire me! And your banter with Mr Saltbox is adorable! Happy stitching everyone.
Thank so much!
Length of your videos is perfect. Perfect like your work/ projects, displays, presentations etc etc etc. You are just perfect!!😊
AGREED!!!
Wow, thank you!
I don’t understand how someone I’ve never met before bring me so much joy! Thank you for all you share.
Aww thanks so much!
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! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! You too!
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.
Thank you so much!!! ❤️
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!
Thanks so much! You’re very kind!!!❤️
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.
Oh thank you so much!!! I appreciate that!
"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!
So true! But I’m happy to keep trying to stitch them ALL!!!!
Gesundheit means Good health.
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
Aww thanks so much!! I agree that Tammy has some fantastic designs.
Good Evening Everyone ❤ Have a wonderful and safe weekend to all.🎉 InezArnetta 🌹
Carol, another wonderful video. I wish you could see yourself as we see you…..an amazing human!!!❤❤
Wow, thank you!
Thanks for sharing! You look very lovely in that color!
Oh thank you!
Jane atkinson is beautiful. So colorful. The border, wow!
Hi, Carol Another happy video! You crack me up in parts but in a GOOD way!! Please, anyone who is prayerful, my only son is being treated for an extremely rare blood cancer. Thanks so much. His name is Eric.
I’ll be praying daily for your son. I’m so sorry🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@marylynnlutenski9196 Thank you. God bless.
Yes I’ll definitely pray for Eric! ❤️
@@saltboxstitcher Thank you, Carol. Bless you.
Jane is just gorgeous!! I would love to find a sampler with my mom’s maiden name, Wainwright. It is a popular name in England and my great grandfather came from there. Thank you for the shout out to my dear friend Tammy Black , I do the thread cards for her… she is so talented.I am working on the Tallman House 1864 Sampler while watching you!! Love her designs !!😻It is a house in Janesville,Wisconsin.
Thank you so much Ona for always doing such a lovely job on the thread cards...couldn't do it without your help! 🥰
That’s so interesting! I know that Linda (designer of Chessie and Me) is from Wisconsin so that makes sense!!!
Gesundheit is a German word that literally means "health". It is always a treat to see that you posted a video. Thanks for sharing all your beauty work. Take care.❤
Hello Carol. I am a viewer who doesn’t comment much but always enjoy your videos. I love your sense of humor sense of humor, your taste in charts to stitch, and your abilities to stitch. Your backdrop of work display is a perfect place for you do do your videos. My husband passed through one day when I was watching your video and said “she looks like your Mom”. I guess I never noticed it but you do. Enjoy the time with your sister.
Thank you so much! They say we all have a twin somewhere!!🤷🏻♀️😀
Your stitching is beautiful!! Always enjoy your flosstubes!! Always look forward to the next one!
Thank you so much!
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!!🤗
Hello Carol in your next video would it be possible to give a closer look at the beautiful quilt behind you with the green basket and fruit. The little baskets are cute and vibrant flowers is charming. Always enjoy seeing your stitching. Happy stitching.
Please Carol. I love seeing your stitching but when you add your quilts double bonus.
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!!
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.
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!!
Give me all the patriotic cross-stitch!!! They are my very favorites!!!! 🇺🇸
Carol, have you ever shared a video of your stitching setup? I’d love to see how you handle working on those high count linens (light, magnification, etc.) Thanks! I just love your videos!
Maybe a how-to video showing process of making that red, white, and blue wool penny mat? Maybe not cross stitch, but very complimentary to that sort of stitching. I am so, so new to cross stitch, and your videos are fun and informative. Thanks!
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!!❤
Great projects and progress.
We love the same colors as you.
It's like we speak the same language.
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.
OMG! Carol I also like all my floss drops to be the same white comic book backer board! I don’t use fancy floss drops.
yes make a copy of your friends chart to stitch from, just don't talk about it. I think since you both paid for it you are in the clear. Happy Stitching.
I started thirteen colonies this month , called for threads on ‘Mayflower’ 36 count.
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.
Make the copy!! Love your videos, they bring me so much joy.
One of your flax reads sage…
Old brain, I’ll show the 2 flax next video.
Carol, it's kinda like having a stitchy friend too. XO
Did you or Mr. Saltbox know Jesse James. 🤭🤭🤭
The Beast is Beautiful -as is all you do. Thank you for sharing.
I cant see the problem with you making a working copy.
I always make a working copy of my patterns, so make the copy.
Definitely copy your friend’s chart!
We LOVE to see your stitching Carol- keep 'em coming!!!
Thank you! Will do!
Congrats on your finish. It is beautiful. I adhere to the motto, "Finish one, start two." Thank you for sharing all you do, your kits, patterns, and hopes for future stitching. I don't have a group to stitch with nor a shop within 4 hours of where I live, so everything is done online - shopping and zoom sessions with others. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to share. ❤
Thank you so much!
I'm definitely NOT an attorney, but since you both purchased the chart and it's no longer in print, I'm not sure that there should be an issue.
I love all you do. It makes me happy to listen to you. Thank you😊
Thank you so much!
Not a lie or a fib, you misremembered, therefore misspoke
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.
Thank you so much!
Oh yes! Hiya Carol and Mr Saltbox stitcher. Where's my cuppa tea for a nice relaxing hour.... got it.
Perfect!
I just purchased Eliza Mitchell because that is my married name. (Mitchell) Just completed Jane Moore which is my maiden name.(Moore)
Jane Moore is a beautiful sampler. Lucky you that you have the same initials!
I have been looking for Vintage Light Exampler fabric. Do you remember where you got yours?
Thank you.❤
I bought mine a while back at 123 stitch as it was more readily available a few years ago. You might try calling The Attic in Mesa Arizona to see if they have any.
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!
I do love BIG houses!!! Especially red ones!!
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!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words!
Thanks for having coffee with me. That’s what it feels like ❤
Aww thanks for watching.
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...
♥️✝️♥️
Oh thank you so much!!! That’s a lot of Carol to watch over and over but I get it, there are some shows I watch reruns and enjoy just as much as when I first watched!
Wonderful episode, Carol! You've got me itching to do some patriotic stitching! Love ya!
Thanks. I’m definitely a seasonal stitcher and this season is my favorite!!!
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😂
Wonderful! Definitely my favorites!!!
YES for longer videos!!! Oh you enabler…last night I finished Liberty-1776 that you showed on your last video. It’s so beautiful ♥️. I have stitched ‘Bloom’ that is behind you (thanks to you showing it last year 😬). NOW…I have to stitch the 1776 pillow (that I just found & printed) from Samplers and Santa’s. I just finished Summer and Christmas at Holly Berry Farm this past couple of months. Oh yes & I’ve done all the beggars, all the Hello Summer seasons etc lol Do you feel like I’m a stalker? 😆 I just love me some Carol (& Mr Saltbox) 💞 OH the old picture of you two ♥️♥️♥️
Oh wow thank you!! Not a stalker but I find it flattering that you would stitch the same things. Let’s just say we both have great taste!!! 😂
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Carol you are awesome! Thank you for showing all the things you want to stitch and all of your beautiful projects & finishes!!
Thank you so much!
To answer your question; GESUNDHEIT - (what in Germany is usually said when someone does sneeze 🤧) means: Health! So basically wishing somebody good health 🤷♀️😇
Thank you!!! I’ll remember that!!!
Were you the one stitching Eliza Jane Stiles 1824. If so. who was it by. looking for it on secondary market.
No it wasn’t me. Sorry!
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!
Wow, thank you! I’ll relay that to Mr Tall. Lol
Hi Carol, I was wondering have you ever stitched Elisabeth Cooper: Jesus Wept Sampler by Sassafras Samplers? And if you did, did you brighten up the colours? Love your flosstubes, never miss one. Cheers from Down Under!
I haven’t stitched that. I think I do have it tho. I doubt that I’ll change the colors as I generally prefer the duller palette as I think it looks more antique.
Carol , Do not think that people do NOT enjoy watching your floss tubes. The count when I watched after 2 days was over “10,000!!! Views”. Thanks- Susan
Wow, thank you! Sometimes that is overwhelming to me. I always think there’s probably 10 or 20 viewers that must have it on constant repeat!!!! Haha!😆
Your. Videos great. Was wondering how much fabric did Thr villages of Hawkrun Run Hallow took. If you could let me know ow, I’d appreciate it.
It depends on what count you are using. I got a fat half of 36 ct.
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.
Oh thank you! I appreciate the answer!!
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.
Thanks so much!
Here is the information I found about the Susana How Whitchurch sampler I found.
“British silk on wool sampler, dated October 1827, and signed Susanna How Whitchurch, with passage partially ,"...The interests of an endless state/They who can call the lord their friend/may look toward death without dismay/and only they can meet their end/as the summers closing day", 14"h x 11"w. Property of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sold to Benefit the Acquisitions Fund.”
Thank you so much!! Maybe I’ll chart and stitch that!!!
I was happy to see you this morning. Working on kitting up "And a Forest Grew". Will work on this project and trade off with "Shores of Hawk Run Hollow" and smaller projects such as Cottage Garden Samplings (on my 6th ornament) and Spring Fling by Brenda Gervais. Happy places.
Great plans. I love And a Forest Grew. A friend of mine has it stitched and framed. Simply gorgeous!!
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!!
Oh thank you so much!
I love watching FlossTube… I don’t have a local Needlework Shop so I enjoy seeing what is out there… I feel like I have a whole new set of friends…I can’t believe how CCS has changed over the years… I’m an old long time stitcher!!😊
Wonderful! Thanks for watching!!!
Carol - You are not my one and only, but you were my first and you and Mike are definitely my favorite. Your primitive style and beautiful stitching and finishing, your expertise and suggestions combined with your banter make for a video I always look forward to. And I think you should make YOUR videos just as long or as short as YOU want then to be!!!!!
Thanks so much!
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👍🏽😁
Thanks. Yes we’re definitely the long and short duo.
Love your husband "kibitizing" in the background, reminds me of my grandfather. :}
One nut talking to another nut!!!
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. ❤
Thank you so much!
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.😊
Love that!
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!
Thanks so much!!!❤️Yes he’s 6’4 (at least he used to be) and I’m 5’1 so we’re definitely Mutt and Jeff.
You are such an inspiration to me! Your projects are absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!
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.
Thank you so much!
Carol, you mentioned you’re a jaguar fan! My grandson )9 years old) loves the jags. He wants me to make him a quilt of all the NFL teams EXCEPT cowboys and bears. My JoAnn’s has very few teams and to order online it’s a minimum of 2 yards! If you happen to be by JoAnn’s and they have jags I would love a yard and I’ll send payment right away.
Send me an email www.saltboxquilts@gmail.com and I’ll check next time I go to Joann’s. They should definitely have it late summer when it’s closer to football season.
I appreciate YOU so much ! I’m one of those stitchers with no LNS so I love seeing what you’ve done🌸 I’ve been in Scattered Samplings one year, and agree, I’ve never received anything so beautifully packaged. Might be time to sign up again! Also love your quilts, what’s in the background this time ?
Thank you so much!! The background quilt was a Joined at the Hip pattern that I made years ago.
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
Thank you!
Loved this video with all your pending patriotic stitches! Ordered two charts while watching! So thank you!
Yay! Thank you!
Back again. Would you please list where you get the magnifying eyeglasses ? I know you’ve done it twice- I got a pair! I need stronger now-cataracts-I appreciate it! Thank you
I get mine from www.eyekeeper.com
Hi Carol, When you were talking about the project Your a Grand Old Flag and said you had 2 different shades of Flax, you were showing Sage and Flax. Don't feel bad about not getting to everything. I have 60 finishes, but just started FFOing them. I have gotten 7 done and still stitching. If you don't have another video done before you leave, have a wonderful time!!!
You are right! I’m blaming my old age!! I really do have 2 different flax , I just held up the wrong ones!!! 🤣🤷🏻♀️
Dear lady, you did not fib, you misspoke. It's not like it was intentional - somewhere in your brain you thought (hoped) the house was complete. Give yourself a break! It's lovely. And quite frankly, your videos are as long as they should be. There are many flosstubes I don't mind pausing and coming back to. Some are so long I give up. I also like consistent floss drops, and use the same ones you do, as they were available long before the floss card exchange. As always, enjoyed the pattern, floss, and fabric talk, and repartee with hubby.
Thanks so much!
Hi my friend! Get busy on those smalls, I want to see what they look like all finished! 😂 You have such a nice collection of patriotic smalls and I need to stitch more of those myself, so thanks for sharing. Wish I were going to the retreat with you in May, it sounds fun! Happy stitching til next time!! 🪡🧵🪡✂️✂️✂️🌞🌹🌹💕💕💕
Thanks so much! 😊I hope our paths cross again soon!! Miss you!!!
Always love seeing your progress, Carol! And your finished patriotic projects are gorgeous. I'm hoping to stitch Liberty's Welcome some day. I also think it would be perfectly acceptable to make a better quality working copy of Anne Raynor since both you and your friend own and purchased the charts. Nothing wrong with making things easier on yourself.
Thank you!
Ann Raynor has been OOP for too long! Love it. Who is the designer? Why don't they reprint it? Glad to watch you stitch it. Since you have the chart, you should be allowed to copy a clearer chart for your working copy. My opinion. Thanks for sharing. The closest needlework shop to me is 1 1/2 hours away.
My understanding is that the designer passed away and so the rights to it are long gone. Sadly!
I enjoy watching your videos and seeing all your beautiful 🤩 kits and finishes. Have a wonderful week and happy stitching 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
Thank you! You too!
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.
Oh thank you!
