- Yeah ! Cooler weather ! Now I'm in the mood for Fall Stitching and Decorating... but, that does not mean putting traditional "Samplers" on hold ! Get a cup and hopefully enjoy my ramblings thru my Fall Finishes, Works in Progress Updates and of course my "Fix'in to Stitch" Kitted projects.

I love the way you two chat back and forth….hubby did well with his math. Your stitching is always fantastic.
Thank you! 😊
Hello Carol and Professor/Editor, this was great fun, with all your new starts, plans and decor. Miss Jane Atkinson is breathtaking-it won’t be much longer before her finish. Enjoy your upcoming retreat. Love you…!
Thank you so much!
Love your floss tubes as always Carol! The two of you make quite a pair and I’m constantly laughing.
Thanks my friend. Hope you are doing well!! Pam H said she missed you being at the Scarlett House retreat. ❤️

Thanks so much
Happy birthday Mr. Saltbox!! Love Jane Atkinson! Beautiful job.
Beautiful stitched pieces and wonderful variety! Always an inspiration.
Thank you so much!
I have been watching too much news. I am re-watching your Flosstube now to help me relax.
Oh no! Flosstube is a nice getaway from the world’s problems. 😬
Happy Birthday to the Professor! Your Scarlett Letter stitch is stunning! Thanks for all the shares!
Thank you so much!
What a fun video. I love to collect fall patterns. I have WAY more collected than stitched, That’s for sure! You kept me company in the car on a long drive to the middle of nowhere AZ to show houses. Thank you 😊
I’ll keep you company anytime sweet friend!!!❤️
So you had me singing "High Hopes" at one point...an old Frank Sinatra song...he had high hopes, he had high apple pie in the sky hopes...haven't thought about that in years.:}. It's always fun to see you past finishes and all the ones you have "high hopes" for. Happy belated birthday to Mr. Saltbox.
I remember that song from when I was young. 😊
Happy belated birthday Mr. Salt box 🙂. I enjoy listening to y’all’s banter before the videos ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much
Happy Birthday Mr. Saltbox! Carol, your Fall pieces are beautiful, Thank You for sharing. Happy Fall.
Thank you so much!
Love you and Professor Saltbox’s interactions. You both make me smile and chuckle. My cell phone let me down and didn’t tell me your flosstube was posted. On the bright side when I sat down to watch flosstubes this Sunday my tablet gave me the wonderful surprise that you had a new flosstube waiting for me to view! Enjoy our get togethers. Love your work. So happy to hear that you’re going to frame a couple yourself. I just finished my last three that I have frames for yesterday and got them up on the wall. I’m ever so happy I found Kitten Stitchers video teaching us how to do the framing. Never did I ever think I’d be framing my own stitching. Now I can enjoy them up on my walls. Hope the Professor is enjoying his birthday family party today. It’s nice his birthday is being celebrated more than just one day.
Thanks. Soooo I have a question since you do your own framing. I ordered 3 frames from Hob Lob. I took my pieces and let them measure as I was planning to lace them myself. And after getting them, I realized they are too small. So my question is … what measurement do you give them when you order a frame, the opening size or the total size (foam core size)? Obviously this was their error because they measured but I’m curious because I would like to order some online and I want to get it right. Hope that makes sense. This is confusing to me as the lip on the inside can vary right?
@@saltboxstitcher the lingo framing uses is a learning curve just like anything I guess. I had such trouble with trying to figure out what in the world dimensions I needed I wrote to the company. The short of it is that the demensions you use is what you want to see. For instance if your stitching area of the sampler is 10x10 inches, because I like it framed tight, I order an 11x11 inch frame. I just add an extra inch so I have a half inch of linen on all sides of the sampler. So figure out how tight you want your sampler in the frame. I keep my math easy. Hubs likes it less right and on one order I added an inch and a half extra and the math broke my brain because I was working with 8th of inches on my sampler. Finding half of 8ths was just too much for me and since I'm doing the framing I decided he's just going to have to live with a tighter framed piece. I use Custom Frames Solutions (thinking that's the name as I'm not home to check.) I was worried about picking out frames I couldn't see in person but have been pleasantly surprised with all most all the 17 frames I've ordered. They usually come in better than I hoped. Oh, try to hit their sales. I try to hold out for the 40% off! Hope that helps.
Reread your note. Order the opening size you want. The company I order from takes into consideration whatever that lip is. It's the opening size they need.
@@maryellenmcinnis7693 thank you so much. I took the wrong ones back to Hob Lob this morning and they handled it well. Reordered and no extra charge since the new frames are larger. I appreciate you taking the time to help me with the lingo. Thanks again.
@@saltboxstitcher glad it's working out!
Happy birthday Mr Saltbox🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Brenda … 😊 Mr. SBS
Husbands need to understand the ABC’s. Anniversary, Birthday and Christmas when they go shopping in our favorite stores. All we need to remember is Anniversary and Birthday cards. We have cooled off here in the high desert. Chains require over Mt Rose last night. Sunny days and in the 30’s at night. They took down the sign watch for bears and the wild mustangs should start coming through the neighborhood any time. Great finishes and I’m about the same spot in Jack’s Bash as you. 😊
Wow!! Signs for bears and mustangs are not common here in Florida. Although surprisingly we do have bears. Who knew?
Happy Birthday to the man in charge!🎂
Thanks for the Happy 😊… in charge, you’re kidding, right 😊
Jane Atkinson's border is awesome! Love all your choices.
Happy birthday Mr Saltbox hope you have an amazing day.
Thank you Joyce, for your kind birthday wishes 😊
Happy belated birthday to the mister. I was singing High hopes as well! Loving all of the pieces you shared today. Have fun stitching. Janice
Thank you! You too!
I love those crows Ida May and Ira Ray, I can’t wait to see your WIP of them.
Another great video, as usual. Your stitching and finishing is so beautiful. I love everything you stitch. It amazes me how much you get done. Take care - hope to see you soon
Thank you so much!
I love you work & videos. Please keep them going.
Thank you! Will do!
Happy Birthday to Mr. Saltbox 🎉 I always enjoy your videos so much. I was in Louisburg Kansas recently shopping at the “Louisburg Market Street”. I was in the process of buying a antique JP Coats thread case when I asked for some help from the nice lady that worked their when she told me that she was going to by it for her step mother & asked me if I’ve heard of “The Saltbox Stitcher” on RUclips? I said you mean Carol. She said yes. Hi said yes I Love her floss tubes! She said oh wow you’re the first person that I’ve asked that too that knows who & what I’m talking about. She said that’s my step mother she’s married to my dad. So we chatted awhile & it was really super great to connect with someone close by that not only knows you but is related!!! Kind of a small world. I also wanted to say I would Love to stitch Ira Ray & Ida May sometime but it seems doubtful I will as I don’t have those charts & haven’t been able to find them anywhere yet! Thanks for another great video!!!❤😊
My step daughter Maria works there occasionally and she told me that she talked to you!! Small world!!! Love her!!!
Great seeing you Carol! Love you!
Aww thanks so much!!❤️
Fun episode…happy birthday Mr. SBS
Sweet Carol, So good to see you again...I always have Hiiigh Hopes of your next video!!! Happy Birthday to Mr. Saltbox; I hope you have a wonderful celebration with your family this weekend. Your Fall stitching is beautiful and makes me want to pull out every Fall chart I have and get started! I have been kitting like a Mad Woman and once I have the linen chosen I get excited to pull threads and get going. I am holding back to finish up a couple of long term projects and will reward myself with new starts in a week or two. Until next time...Happy Stitching! xoxo
Thanks so much!!!
I always look forward to seeing your videos🧵🌸🪡
Oh thank you!
Happy Birthday to the hubby. Good video!😊
Thank you! 🤗
Fun video!! Northern NH we would be ecstatic for low 70s. Lol. It’s been in the 50 s and 60s during the day. Tonight supposed to be around 37. Yes definitely quilt weather. The trees are changed and just gorgeous!! Stay healthy and Happy Birthday to Mr Saltbox!!!😊
I’m sure your foliage is gorgeous!!! I love the 50s and 60s. We sometimes have that in January.
Carol, we won’t discuss January around here lol. 🥶. Take care. Always enjoy your flosstube 😊
I am a shame too because I have all the hello too! I thought I was only one!
Great video!!! Your “assistant” did a great job also. I can’t wait to see your Ann Grimshaw completed!!
Coming soon! Hopefully!!!
Happy birthday, Professor Salt box!
Thank you Kathy 😊 Mr. SBS
Happy birthday Mr Saltbox!😊
Absolutely joyful - love it all so much!! :)
Thank you so much!
Happy birthday Mr Saltbox
Lots of lovely stitching, thank you
Thank you! 😊
I get the hair thing!! I wrestle with the same thing! I have thought about a wig….but my kids already think I’m nuts. I’d never hear the end of it. Beautiful stitching as always!
Always!!! Either too short or too long. Or too stubborn to behave. I had a lot less trouble with it when I was young and it was waist length, then it was either bun, ponytail or down my back. Lol
I so enjoy your videos, although I don't usually comment. Now that we are out of triple digits here in Texas I am inspired to do more stitching and your video is very timely and inspiring. Thanks so much for everything you share.
Thanks so much!!!
Great show. You have a wonderful helper. It was fun to you have Mae and Ray crows on your list I did the 2 years ago for my sister. Looking forward to next time.
Thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing ask your beautiful stitching! Lori at Once Upon a Stitch
Hi Carol. I'm new to your channel and just wanted to let you know how much i enjoyed it. Looking at your walls of stitching makes me think if I would have stuck with it all those years ago I might have as much as you do. However, I gave up stitching back then and have only recently returned to it. I love how far everything has come and the community of cross stitchers is unbelievable. Thank you for sharing all your work. You are truly impressive with all the mediums you do. Take care, Pat Tackaberry
Aww welcome and thank you so much!!!❤️
It was a fantastic video and I always love seeing your past finishes! You have so many cute stitched pieces for Halloween! Happy belated birthday to Professor Saltbox! Love your cute intro’s to your videos!
Thank you so much!
Loved your video!!!!!! fall is my favorite time to decorate. Your husbands laugh about your sister was hilarious 😂 can’t wait for your next video and see what you worked on.
Thank you so much!! The last few days I’ve been working on Olga’s Stocking by Plum Street.
Soooo there I am @ 12:30am singing High Hopes , thinking of Ginger Rogers & Fred Estaire dancing to it 😀lol
Anywhoooo always enjoy your videos, your rambling just makes you all the more special🤗
Don’t change…
BTW is the bowl in your hutch ceramic, with leaves 🍃 on it
My Mom had a set like this.. brought back good memories of Mom.. ( older sister got those ) lol
Take care
Enjoy getting a hair cut 💇♀️
Blessings, Carol & Staf manager 🥹
Psalm 91
Where would we be without His promise to keep us, & have a shelter…In these troubling times 🙏🇮🇱💔🙏🙏
So true. Praying everyday!!! Yes my bowls are the same. They were my mom’s. I can’t remember the specific name of them but I have a couple and I love them !❤️
Here south of Liberty, mo. It's 57 degrees.. Burr 🥶.
Well it's not bad but chilly.
Loved seeing your stitches.
Hi to Professor Saltbox!😊
Take care
Sounds wonderful!!
Thanks Carol......... I love Brenda G's funky holiday characters. Working on Tricks & Treats now.............
Wonderful! Her funky witches and Santas are the best!!!
Carol, I am thrilled to see a new video from you! Always a joy in my day. Wonderful stitching. Inspiring! Happy, happy Birthday to Mr. Professor Saltbox Stitcher. So enjoy the humor!
Thank you so much!
You scared me for a brief moment on the video number. I knew you had reached 100 then asked your husband how old he was on his last birthday! 😂😂😂 Always love seeing all of your stitching!!!
Oh wow! That’s hilarious!!!
Carol, at our age if we can find a bathroom we are grateful. 😅
So true!!! And quickly!!!! Lol
Carol your stitching never ceases to inspire me. I am crazy for fall and Halloween stitching, so this episode was a delight. Happy birthday to Mr. Anatomy Professor 😉
Love your fall things!!
Thank you!!!
Carol, that Jane Atkinson is just so beautiful! I keep getting Raven Bewitched by BBD out and putting it back because it looks dull, but now that you have shown the threads, I am going to get it back out, buy the dmc threads and give it a start. I too have "the disease". I can remember when I used to buy a kit, stitch it to the end and then start something new. How the heck did we do it. I need to HAVE and STITCH all the things!!!I just can't stitch fast enough and I am of an age that I will never stitch everything I want to...I am 70...oh and I still work full-time! Shame on me!!!!!
It is crazy how I have so many things going and I used to have multiples ready but only concentrated on one at a time. Maybe I get bored more nowadays. I blame the fast pace of technology. Lol
Another awesome video!! Thank you!!
Thanks again!
Oh my gosh Carol … I have the same disease … but it brings me joy….. 🎃🎃🌻🌻💕always a great video … and your hubby is so supportive … I thought mine was too.. he would drop me off at my L&S and go meet his mistress ! He’s now my X…. Lol…
Oh my!!! That’s awful!!! I hope you’re in a better situation now!!!❤️
Love your videos ❤❤
Jane Atkinson is gorgeous!!!
Thank you!!
Great episode. Here in Indiana it's quite cold.
Professor Saltbox definitely gets positive husband points for knowing quilt block names! Thank you both for another enjoyable flosstube!
Fall is my favorite stiitching season and you have the best floss tube videos around... well, you and the Mister Saltbox! Thank you!!
Oh thank you!
Have a wonderful birthday Mr. Salt box! This is a beautiful video! Your needlework is amazing! Always a joy to visit with you!
Thanks again!
Loved seeing all your beautiful finishes. I have high hopes to get some completed projects
You can do it! 😬
Happy birthday, Professor! Good job on your math! Carol, as always, I loved seeing what you've stitched. You're very enabling though.
Thank you so much! I get enabled watching Flosstube too!!!
Another great video 😊
Thank you 🤗
Oh, Carol! Once again I was laughing while watching! Totally get the whole hair thing, but since mine is mostly white you can't see it on the bathroom floor, but alot shows up on my black or navy or all dark tops! 😮 I am almost finished with Turkey Hollow Farm! It IS NOT perfect, but I really like it. Several others you shared I have done or kitted so you know I love your prospects!
Oh I’m jealous, I love Turkey Holliw Farm!!! Hopefully I can get it started soon!!
Thank you Carol and Mr Saltbox for another fantastic flosstube. Have a good birthday celebration with family 🎉
Thank you so much!
A belated Happy Birthday to your wonderful husband (and video editor). Fall stitching is one of my favorites, thanks for sharing your finished and WIPs with us!
Thank you so much!
Oh Carol, I so appreciate all your stitching! It was so fun to see all the Halloween pieces. Thank you! Take care. Happy Birthday to Mr. Saltbox!
I went back watched episode 82 and it started with a Turkey gobble I cracked up.
I blame the editor. 😝
I totally agree with you about starting to stitch a new project. It's my least favorite part. Until I get into a rhythm and know which end is up, that's when I begin to enjoy it. As always, your walls are such an inspiration. I look forward to your videos. You are hands down my favorite flosstuber. And thanks to your hubby for all of his work.
Awww thanks so much!!! I appreciate your sweet sentiment!!!❤️
I just have to say this … LOL … just before you were lamenting about your hair, I had just said to myself “Oh, I just love Carol’s hair!” Just saying! LOL! I so look forward to your videos!
Oh thank you! That’s too funny. I think we are all too critical of ourselves!!! Oh well, better that than to be critical of others. 😜
Great video! Loved the way you turned the tables on your hubby! He did a good job. Happy Birthday Mr. Saltbox!
Thank you for the B-Day wishes … Mr. SBS
Happy Birthday to Mr Saltbox. I bet he was eating some lemon pound cake during filming. Love all your projects, Carol. ❤
Oh yes! He definitely has a sweet tooth!!
Happy birthday to your husband. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them and to your husband for his editing support.
Happy stitching
Thank you so much!
Good to see you 😁
😁
Happy Birthday to Professor Saltbox!🎊 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Carol and Professor Saltbox for a great video, your floss tube always brightens up my evening stitching. Keep rambling, it’s such fun❤
Oh thank you!
Fab video as always 😊
Thank you!! 😊
Crosstitch is my favorite disease. I've become a multi project stitcher now. So many things to stitch! Happy Birthday Mr. Saltbox!
Thanks so much!!!
Another good one
Thanks again!
Loved this video. Mr. Saltbox cracks me up--39? lol and your daughter is 37! Happy stitching.
He fibs!!!
Thanks for great video and stitching - I finished sampler September and now I am doing red October ( in honor of foliage in the north and changing of the leaves at this time ) I am on to only red samplers this month - have a great time with your group in Gainesville - Victorian rose is a great shop
Great idea, red October sounds fun!!!
Love your channel. I recently came back to stitching after a 27 year pause (when my daughter was born). Someone told me be about Floss Tube. When I accessed it for the first time, yours came up. Samplers are and will always be my passion to stitch. I watched some of your first videos and was so excited to hear you talk about The Salt Box Sampler (Overland Park, KS?) and Old Mill Stitchery (Liberty, MO). I shopped there many times (late 1980’s/early 90’s) being from Missouri (live in NC now). Keep doing what you do…so inspiring!
Those 2 stores were just the best!!! Good memories!!! Thanks for watching!!!
As always a lovely visit. Can’t wait to be getting back to my stitching once the radiation level done a bit more. Your pieces are beautiful. Love your quilt in the background too. Blessings and happy stitching.
Thanks so much and prayers for you!!!❤️
Hello from NC Carol…thank you and happy birthday to Mr. Saltbox! Have to tell you it has been so nice “visiting” with you…just what I needed. Your fall pieces are just gorgeous…I have a few of the same patterns finished. I love Blackbird and Brenda Gervais too. Always fun Carol…thank you so much.
Thank you so much!
When my mom passed I realized she was a hoarder of the plastic that went of your dry cleaning. Not only did I find it on her clothes I found several neatly stacked in every drawer. Then in the back recesses of one closet there was a pile of this plastic. It was crazy. She had everything wrapped nicely in plastic. I never knew this about my mother.
We all have our quirky things we collect. My mom used the old butter containers for leftovers. So it was a real challenge to find the actual butter. Lol❤️
I love going back to the beginning seasons and watching again. Like I just watched number 30. Lots of inspiration in the oldies too
Thanks!!!
Your videos are always entertaining, Carol, but today you were hilarious. You and your husband are a hoot. I am so impressed that he evidently is in the room while you're recording and it doesn't distract you. I'm also impressed, of course, with your stitching. Love it - love your optimism! Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much!
Hi Carol. Another fun time with you and the professor. Happy belated birthday to him. Everything was beautiful the stitchings and your fall decor. I know all your "High Hopes " for your WIPs will come true. I have tremendous faith in you and your talents. The only trouble is, just not enough hours in the day. You are one busy gal. Quilting and stitching, I'm sure you never sit a moment and just twiddle your thumbs so to speak. Thankyou for all the hard work it takes for you and the professor to get these videos ready to air. It is much appreciated !! Until next time, ❤ ya!!, and hope that one day our paths will meet, Donna
Thanks so much and yes I do twiddle my thumbs occasionally!!!🤪
Jane Atkinson is absolutely stunning! I enjoyed the parade of finishes, pumpkins, and projects to do. Your assistant did a nice job handing you items and taking the hand offs without a hitch!
Oh thank you!
