I love a great patriotic stitch parade! I have several of the same ones in the "waiting to be finished pile"...need a finishing retreat. 😊 Have a fantastic trip!
Thank you for a great video. Even though I’m Canadian I love watching your patriotic stitching. And there are some great U.S. patriotic patterns that I’d love to stitch and give away as gifts, but first I need to finish some of my patriotic stitching before Canada Day!
Have a great visit with family! At least you have a lot finished, even if not fully finished. Me, I kit stuff up ready to go...then I end up doing something totally different...I only work part-time now, and I'm off for the summer so I hope I am able to get some stitching done! Always love seeing your stuff!
As one of nine, living near each other is the best. I could not imagine not seeing them so infrequently. Does she share your love of cross stitch? I have not done patriotic stitching yet but just love seeing it. It is still cool in Boston so please send us some warm weather. Have a nice trip.
Laughing aloud listening to the episode. Favorite quotes: „Nothing wrong with being fatter.“ (Talking about threads, I think);“what’s your name?“ (jokingly covering up forgetting Hubby Saltbox‘ name; „Thank you for listening“ (before starting the patriotic section to the Canadian and other international subscribers).
I so enjoy watching what you are up too, you always choose such amazing designs to stitch, I am a Patriotic nut, anything with The American Flag on it. I have to say that Your A Grand Old Flag is one of my top ten favorites. If I lived close, I would come and finish for you. Congratulations on all your finished stitching, I am looking forward to seeing them fully finished. I hope your toe heals quickly, love that horse, that Uncle Sam is amazing, perfect finish, will you share how you display your pillows sometime please. Salute to Abigail is beautiful, love all your want to stitch designs. Thank-you for the amazing Patriotic Parade.
The word you were looking for is “cording”. 😊. I love your Jane Atkinson! And I love ❤️ ❤❤ your patriotic ffo’s and wanna stitches! I would love to find the BBD sewing bird pocket.
Sweet pieces Carol…..🇺🇸 Never tire of stitching 🧵 Patriotic…🇺🇸 FYI The Pin Keep is on Etsy & very helpful in getting what one wants. I’m surprised you haven’t stitched “ The Pledge of Allegiance “ by The Pin Keep ..it’s really lovely. Have a great trip … Looking forward to mr Saltbox new floss tube :-)) Blessings…
Can’t wait to finally see you in person! I will be driving and plan on arriving Wednesday afternoon. I’m hoping there may be some antique shops nearby! I have no clue how to pack as we’re already in the low 90s with high humidity!! I’m thinking coastal Mississippi “winter” clothes?! Oh, the word you were searching for was cording, lol. I can’t wait to see what Mr. Saltbox has to offer!
I'm one of your Canadian fans...and you're right; we're much quieter about our allegiance to Canada. That said, I enjoyed your talking about the stitching in "Grand Old Flag" -- first the clarification of Weeks "old" linen and Zweigart. I already knew about it but some might not -- and I've used both bases and had no problem with either. And second, that interesting stitch pattern created in both the roof and the walls of the house. I think that would be challenging -- to get it right, that is. One thread off either way and...!!! But the roof rather resembles the colour (and appearance) of the new shingles I had put on my wee house a year ago. Very realistic! Love it! I mean, yes; that tree in the other piece -- and all those wild flowers -- are "beasts" but that house in GOF -- Whoa! I admire your persistence!
Another great episode and funny, you’ve mentioned the Flag-„thingy“; I’ve lived in Canada for 15years, in the USA for 10 and as a German (now living back home - unfortunately 😢), I totally admire the patriotism and American pride! In Germany there are not one flag-design for cross-stitch and matter of fact, National Pride is here considered with being a Nazi and flags are barely displayed! (Since I have children in Canada and in the USA - I proudly stitch patriotic designs ….and despite me, missing my kids, I thank God daily, that they live in a free country! 💞
If I could only stitch as fast as I buy patterns! It’s almost shameful to have soooo much and everything is stored away!!! Maybe the designers need to take a break and let me play catch up!!!😂 awesome video!!❤ thank you so much!😊
Hello from NC Carol…the same thing happened to me with the old Weeks linen..I almost trashed it, it was also Tin Roof. I was stitching the Blackbird Design “Strawberry Fields”…I put it down for a short time and came back to it, and finished and had it framed. I love it, but did not like stitching on the old Weeks linen. Please give a big thank you to Mr. Saltbox on the stills…fabulous! The stitching and the beautiful thread colors are so fun to take in slowly. Have fun with your sister, can’t wait to hear about your trip! Love patriotic stitching! God Bless the USA!
I loved seeing all of your patriotic charts and finishes. I am stitching the Blackbird chart America as I memory piece for my Grandmother whose name was America. She is the only person I have known named that. Have fun on your travels. Janine
Carol, you are a hoot and a half! Love your sense of humor, but mostly I am in awe of your talent; such a gifted stitcher. And your pattern choices are everything I am drawn to. Also, you looked like a queen flashing that fan! Just sayin.
Always love your videos, Carol! Your hair always looks amazing!! Ps. Mr. Saltbox can you please make us "O Tannenbaum!" BOX FOR THE cross stitch design by Brenda Gervais of With Thy Needle and Thread. 🎉 🧵🪡✂️❤️☕️ so much love to y’all from Clemson, SC ❤
Enjoyed your channel. Beautiful stitching. We are all like that... Can't stitch it all but want it all. I believe it is called cording for the trim. I would like a house tour of all your beautiful items.❤
Love all the patriotic pieces. I have done about all you showed except the big ones. I did american eagle and put my husband name and years of service. He retired as Colonel with 29 years in the air force and I framed alot of my pieces. When you showed City stitcher another time. I got it and it hangs on my wall. I decorate my house with red white abd blue. I did home of brave too. My favorite red is 221. Also schoolgirl sampler.
Surprise, surprise, surprise, you quoted Gomer Pyle!! Lol. Wish there was talk flosstube. I could say yes that's plum street or that's called cording. I can see why the finishing gets put away after you pulled out all those kitted projects. Well golly❤❤❤
I have enjoyed this soooo much - u r wonderful! I want to do everything that you do, but alas, I am so old I fear I won’t last long enough 😂😅-keep going on for all of us old sisters😊 I love you and you bring joy to my life❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❤️♥️❤️♥️
I have stitched a lot of the same red, white and blue things that you have. I have Americano stuff in my bedroom, but like you I have a lot that aren’t fully finished too. Enjoy your time with your sister.
I spotted Sophia Neal's chart in your opening, and it made my day!! 💕💕💕 Thank you, Carol! I'm so happy that you will be stitching Sophia's sampler. And yes, I'm in the north - North Yorkshire! 🥰
Yes! Thank you! I had intended to talk more about it but ran out of time so I’ll be chatting more on my next video. It’s so pretty, I can’t wait to start her!!!
Love seeing all the patriotic stitches. Made me drop everything and pull out those WIPS 😂 safe travels and whoo hoo to Country Sampler stitch Camp 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I prefer Zweigart, the old Weeks to me has a weird weave on the lower counts for me. Agree, you need to finish those soon. I stopped the video & subscribed to Mr. Saltbox :) Great Flag Parade! TY
I always love to see your sewing, patterns and stash. I know nothing about woodwork but will give Mr Saltbox a watch. I don’t know why he hasn’t framed all those beautiful small samplers 🤔. Thanks for sharing another interesting video.
Carol, I could get lost in your Kitted Project for DAYS!!! So much fun to see all the joy that lies ahead. I have always been pretty much a monogamous stiticher but I am thinking if someone (hint, hint) would start a BBD rotation, I might be able to allow myself 3 or 4 WiPs at a time so I could get all the Blackbird projects started/finished while I'm still here! I hope you have a wonderful, safe trip and a great adventure at Stitch Camp and visiting with your family. I will certainly miss you while you are gone! xoxoxo P.S. I will certainly be checking out Prof.Saltbox's RUclips channel!!
I feel your pain,Carol. I have so much kitted up and feel that I won’t get to them. I feel frustrated and overwhelmed sometimes. Everything you showed is lovely. Have a great time visiting with family.
Please thank your son for his service. We are an Okie family that has a long line of military men ❤. May God bless your son always and his entire family. God Bless the USA.
Well, you are my favorite, and I loved this patriotic parade. Thank you. I’ll go see the Blackbird parade you mentioned by Heidi….I don’t think I’ve ever watched her flosstubes. I know you will have a wonderful time with your sister…..enjoy every moment!!!! Carol in Texas
I sat down to stitch (I thought on a sampler) and what to my wandering eyes should appear but Betsy Ross by Little House. It was the perfect thing to stitch during your video! Thanks for the patriotic parade.
I'm so glad to see your new video today, Carol! Always a happy stitching time while I get caught up with your news! Beautiful pieces and now you are taking time for smalls. Maybe you can get them done!😅 Thank you for bringing such inspiration to the rest of us!
Had to rip out 3 hrs worth of stitching, left out a letter in the alphabet. Didnt see until I stitch whole alphabet. Your "visit" cheered me up.Enjoy your trip!
Carol, love all your beautiful stitching!! Your patriotic parade was awesome!! Love you and Mr Saltbox you’re so cute how you talk to each other!!! Carol have a wonderful visit with your sister and great time at the retreat!! Lynn ❤❤❤❤
Have fun at Country Sampler!!! We have a graduation so I couldn’t go this year. I will have fomo regarding Brenda’s project☺️ loved seeing all of your patriotic stitching!!! Connie from Iowa
Thank you Carol! Love your patriotism and all your stitching! You are a gem and we love you and Mr. Saltbox for providing our entertainment whilst we stitch. Have fun with your sister-sisters are the best!!
Your Jane Atkinson is so beautiful, I love seeing your progress, even if it’s only a few stitches. I’m always impressed by how much you get done. I’m doing something that is sooo tedious but forcing myself to keep moving on it as it will be beautiful when/if I’m ever finished. Hope you have a wonderful time with your sister always nice to spend time with family especially if they share an interest.
Loved your show today … your works are so beautiful and I love seeing them … enjoyed the patriotic parade and I love the way you speak … until next time and have a happy trip ❤Dena
Oh, Carol! You speak just fine! I think the word you were looking for was cording. Thank you for showing previous finishes! Lovely! I love Blackbird Designs! Praying you have safe travels and much fun! Blessings!
@@saltboxstitcher I can’t tell you how many times a day I have a word fly out of my head. I always tell my husband to give me a minute & it will come to me. I tell people it’s chemo brain, although June will mark 8 years ago that I went through 5 months of chemo, so I may need to revise my excuse.
Carol, it is always such a joy to visit with you!!! I love seeing your stitching and wanna stitches! I would be the same and take way too much stitching with me! Have a fabulous visit with your sister and at Country Sampler! Thanks as always and happy stitching.
Hi Carol!! Lots of great patriotic stitches there! 🇺🇸🇺🇸. I hope you have a wonderful visit with your sister and a fabulous time at Stitch Camp! I really want to go to that sometime soon! Happy stitching til next time!! 🪡🧵🪡✂️✂️✂️💕💕💕
I did not know that counts of linen fabric have names, that is so cool! So I looked up 46ct Bergen and 56ct White Kingston. Thanks for the info! Also I agree I like to take my time and “slow poke” lol 😂 and when working on higher counts like 40,46,56 you’ll be stitching for hours then look at it as a whole and think “hmmm where’d the time go?”
Hi carol and thanks again for a great video and seeing all those wonderful patriotic charts, I want to stitch everything too. Have a safe trip and you’re one of my top fluster so thanks for everything. Cheers.
I think we all have a feeling of having more that we want to stitch but just haven’t been able to get to! I have many of the BBD books that you showed, and want to stitch them all! I always enjoy seeing your progress on your WiP’s. You are a beautiful stitcher, and it is always fun to see the display of smalls on the table behind you, and also the beautiful samplers on your walls! Enjoy your trip to Stitch Camp, and spending lots of quality time with your sister! BTW, I believe that the word you were looking for was cording!
Thank YOU for another fun video and as always beautiful stitching. Loving all the patriotic stitching. Wishing you safe travels and have a wonderful time visiting family and stitch camp. Looking forward to seeing you back in June. Pamela A/PA
Love your patriotic parade! Don't be so hard on yourself, Carol, about all the projects you want to stitch but haven't yet. We do have to sleep, prepare meals, keep our house somewhat clean, have time with family and friends, and in your case, work at your quilting business. There is only so much time in the day! Have so much fun with your sister. How fun that you share the love of stitching.
I always love your videos. I’m currently working on a monochromatic project called “Thankfulness” (Diane Arthurs - Imaginating [2004]). I’m loving it, but you’ve got me wanting to stitch all the good ol’ U.S.A. stuff now. I’ve got a bunch of it kitted up. Now I just need four to six extra hands and about 50 more years added to my life! LOL! Travel safely, enjoy your sister time (my sis and I are besties, so I know), and happy stitching!! ❤
I can ramble on all day long about how i love your stitching!, which is the absolute truth. I get so happy when i see you have posted a new video. Also excited to tell the hubby when he comes in from work that Mr. Salt box is making a youtube channel. He is gonna like that so much. What i really came on here to say, and this is unusual for me because i seriously rarely notice one’s clothing, hair, makeup etc. I am a very plain jane 😂😂. But, i just want to say that the blouse you are wearing is perfect on you!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I love your blouse, especially the sleeves! I don’t know what it is that caught my attention other than the fact that you look very lovely today ❤️. You always look lovely, it is just something about this blouse that suits you to a T. Okay, I will hush now that I have probably made you extremely uncomfortable, which was not my intention at all. I am a tshirt and blue jeans shorts kind of ol redneck gal. That is 99.9% of my attire. If i have to “dress up” I get very uncomfortable and feel so totally out of place. I just wanted to compliment you on your attire. You look absolutely lovely! ❤ Keep on stitching Sis and making these videos & i will keep watching. Thanks a million and Blessings to you and Mr. Saltbox and family 🙂🙂🙂

😂😂😂 she sooo makes you work. Worth it but whew. Great video as always.
😊 thank you my sweet friend. “Trouble”
@@saltboxstitcher 😂😂😂😂
Love that patriotic quilt with the heart I hope to get the pattern.
I love a great patriotic stitch parade! I have several of the same ones in the "waiting to be finished pile"...need a finishing retreat. 😊 Have a fantastic trip!
Thank you!
Loved the video. You have great taste in Patriotic designs. Have a safe trip seeing your sister.
Thank you so much!

My sister does stitch but it’s not her crazy passion like me, she’s more well rounded in her interests.
Absolutely wonderful and inspiring - I really should do a bit of finishing myself! Maybe this week ...
Carol, I look forward to your floss tubes. You are delightful!!! I’m stitching Patriotic now, Teresa Kogut’s “ Land That I Love”! It’s a beauty!
Oh thank you! I love that piece!!
Laughing aloud listening to the episode. Favorite quotes: „Nothing wrong with being fatter.“ (Talking about threads, I think);“what’s your name?“ (jokingly covering up forgetting Hubby Saltbox‘ name; „Thank you for listening“ (before starting the patriotic section to the Canadian and other international subscribers).
Thanks😂gotta have a little fun in life!!!❤️
I so enjoy watching what you are up too, you always choose such amazing designs to stitch, I am a Patriotic nut, anything with The American Flag on it.
I have to say that Your A Grand Old Flag is one of my top ten favorites. If I lived close, I would come and finish for you. Congratulations on all your finished stitching, I am looking forward to seeing them fully finished.
I hope your toe heals quickly, love that horse, that Uncle Sam is amazing, perfect finish, will you share how you display your pillows sometime please.
Salute to Abigail is beautiful, love all your want to stitch designs.
Thank-you for the amazing Patriotic Parade.
Thank you so much!
The word you were looking for is “cording”. 😊. I love your Jane Atkinson! And I love ❤️ ❤❤ your patriotic ffo’s and wanna stitches! I would love to find the BBD sewing bird pocket.
Yes! Thank you! That’s the word!!! I had brain fog!!!😶🌫️
Thanks for the Flag Parade! With Memorial Day right around the bend (yikes!), I am ready for some patriotic stitching! Have a great trip!
Thanks so much!!!
Sweet pieces Carol…..🇺🇸
Never tire of stitching 🧵 Patriotic…🇺🇸
FYI The Pin Keep is on Etsy & very helpful in getting what one wants.
I’m surprised you haven’t stitched “ The Pledge of Allegiance “ by The Pin Keep ..it’s really lovely.
Have a great trip …
Looking forward to mr Saltbox new floss tube :-))
Blessings…
I actually do have that chart!!! Someday hopefully!!!
Can’t wait to finally see you in person! I will be driving and plan on arriving Wednesday afternoon. I’m hoping there may be some antique shops nearby! I have no clue how to pack as we’re already in the low 90s with high humidity!! I’m thinking coastal Mississippi “winter” clothes?! Oh, the word you were searching for was cording, lol. I can’t wait to see what Mr. Saltbox has to offer!
Yay!! I’m looking forward to meeting so many new stitchy friends!!!❤️
Have a great time at your retreat! The parade of patriotic was fabulous. I have loads of framing and finishing I need to do too.
Thank you!
I'm one of your Canadian fans...and you're right; we're much quieter about our allegiance to Canada. That said, I enjoyed your talking about the stitching in "Grand Old Flag" -- first the clarification of Weeks "old" linen and Zweigart. I already knew about it but some might not -- and I've used both bases and had no problem with either. And second, that interesting stitch pattern created in both the roof and the walls of the house. I think that would be challenging -- to get it right, that is. One thread off either way and...!!!

Enjoy your trip! Loved all the Blackbird patriotic. I am planning to stitch the "everybody and their brother" chart too 🤣
Hoping to at least get a start on that one soon!!!❤️
Hello from NC Carol…the same thing happened to me with the old Weeks linen..I almost trashed it, it was also Tin Roof. I was stitching the Blackbird Design “Strawberry Fields”…I put it down for a short time and came back to it, and finished and had it framed. I love it, but did not like stitching on the old Weeks linen. Please give a big thank you to Mr. Saltbox on the stills…fabulous!

Thank you so much!
Enjoyed your channel. Beautiful stitching. We are all like that... Can't stitch it all but want it all.
I believe it is called cording for the trim. I would like a house tour of all your beautiful items.❤
Oh thank you! Yes cording is the word that left my brain!!

Yes you’re right!!! I love those old sitcoms. Definitely shows my age. Lol.
Oh my goodness Mr Saltbox is doing a great job on the graphics on your video!!!! Carol you are an enabler I want to stitch it all!

Thanks so much!!! I appreciate your kindness!!!
The "beast tree" looks fabulous--love. Every time I see that tree it reminds me of William Morris.
Thank you!
I have stitched a lot of the same red, white and blue things that you have. I have Americano stuff in my bedroom, but like you I have a lot that aren’t fully finished too. Enjoy your time with your sister.
Thank you!
Fabulous floss tube! Thank you for sharing all your beautiful stitching pieces!

Awesome! Thank you!
Carol, I could get lost in your Kitted Project for DAYS!!! So much fun to see all the joy that lies ahead. I have always been pretty much a monogamous stiticher but I am thinking if someone (hint, hint) would start a BBD rotation, I might be able to allow myself 3 or 4 WiPs at a time so I could get all the Blackbird projects started/finished while I'm still here!

Thanks so much!
Yesterday was Armed Forces Day! My son retired a year ago after 23 years of US Army service. So proud of him!
God bless your son 🇺🇸!! …and to you for raising a patriot!! Please pass along my thanks to him for his service. ❤
Thank him for his service!!!❤️
Please thank your son for his service. We are an Okie family that has a long line of military men ❤. May God bless your son always and his entire family. God Bless the USA.
Thank him for him service! 🇺🇸🫡

@@saltboxstitcher I can’t tell you how many times a day I have a word fly out of my head. I always tell my husband to give me a minute & it will come to me. I tell people it’s chemo brain, although June will mark 8 years ago that I went through 5 months of chemo, so I may need to revise my excuse.
Excellent video presentation
Thank you kindly!
Oh Carol, so enjoyed while I stitched. Have fun with your Sister at Retreat. 😊
Carol, it is always such a joy to visit with you!!! I love seeing your stitching and wanna stitches! I would be the same and take way too much stitching with me! Have a fabulous visit with your sister and at Country Sampler! Thanks as always and happy stitching.
Thank you.
Enjoyed. Im excited to look at saltbox woodwork. Thanks
I love long videos! JS
You really make me want to start a Hawk Run Hallow piece and His Eye is on the Sparrow!
Go for it!!!
@@saltboxstitcher and Jane Atkinson! Ha!
Maybe you could “Finish with a Friend” and that friend could help AND learn? Oh yeah I’m that friend! LOL 😂 🤣
You silly girl!!! Love you Jean!!
Hi Carol!! Lots of great patriotic stitches there! 🇺🇸🇺🇸. I hope you have a wonderful visit with your sister and a fabulous time at Stitch Camp! I really want to go to that sometime soon! Happy stitching til next time!! 🪡🧵🪡✂️✂️✂️💕💕💕
Thank you so much my friend!!!
I did not know that counts of linen fabric have names, that is so cool! So I looked up 46ct Bergen and 56ct White Kingston. Thanks for the info! Also I agree I like to take my time and “slow poke” lol 😂 and when working on higher counts like 40,46,56 you’ll be stitching for hours then look at it as a whole and think “hmmm where’d the time go?”
So true! It’s the same with over one!!!
Wishing you a wonderful trip and happy stitching.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for another wonderful FlossTube. I love seeing all you are working on.
Thank you so much!
Hi carol and thanks again for a great video and seeing all those wonderful patriotic charts, I want to stitch everything too. Have a safe trip and you’re one of my top fluster so thanks for everything. Cheers.
Thanks so much!
Sorry about you're toe. I've done the same thing before. You talk just fine and you are a wonderful part of the FT community.😊
Thanks so much!
Your little finished pillow is a Plum Street design - it is Peace, Love and Purpose, a design I’ve been eyeing for years… so darn cute.
Thank you!!!
I think we all have a feeling of having more that we want to stitch but just haven’t been able to get to! I have many of the BBD books that you showed, and want to stitch them all! I always enjoy seeing your progress on your WiP’s. You are a beautiful stitcher, and it is always fun to see the display of smalls on the table behind you, and also the beautiful samplers on your walls! Enjoy your trip to Stitch Camp, and spending lots of quality time with your sister! BTW, I believe that the word you were looking for was cording!
Thanks so much!!! And yes I definitely had brain fog 😶🌫️ about the word cording!!! Lol
Carol thanks for sharing all your wonderful charts! Have a great trip I know you will enjoy it. Hope your toe is better!❤ See ya!
Thank you so much!
Carol...enjoy all that you share...best wishes and have a great trip ❤❤
Thank you, I plan to!
Patriotic is my favorite stitch, so enjoyed the inspiration!
Yay, thank you!
Oh I love that flag flock. Yours is so cute Carol.
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for the wonderful video. I love all of you work and dozens of want to stitch.
Thank you so much!
Love your “Shame Shame Shame” that brought me right back to Gomer Pyle!!
I just can’t get over how beautiful Jane Atkinson is!!
❤️
Your videos are never too long! Enjoy your travels Carol.
Yay! Thank you!
Cording!😊
Loved your video!
Thank you!!
I also thought liberty and was very nice also
I love a parade, especially patriotic!!😻. Have a great time at Country Sampler but bring your fan because it was 89 degrees last Saturday!!!
Oh wow! We’ve had some humid days in the mid 90s so I’m used to hot!!!
Thank you Carol for another fun video. You are an incredible stitcher.❤
Thanks so much!
Thank you for your wonderful video sharing everything beautiful ♥️
Thank YOU for another fun video and as always beautiful stitching. Loving all the patriotic stitching. Wishing you safe travels and have a wonderful time visiting family and stitch camp. Looking forward to seeing you back in June. Pamela A/PA
Safe travels next week, looking forward to seeing you. ❤️
Another great video with lots of wonderful stitching. I look forward to seeing you at Stitch Camp.
Thank you so much! So much fun!!!
Love your patriotic parade! Don't be so hard on yourself, Carol, about all the projects you want to stitch but haven't yet. We do have to sleep, prepare meals, keep our house somewhat clean, have time with family and friends, and in your case, work at your quilting business. There is only so much time in the day! Have so much fun with your sister. How fun that you share the love of stitching.
Sorry about the toe! I love all the patriotic stitches. My fav!
I always love your videos. I’m currently working on a monochromatic project called “Thankfulness” (Diane Arthurs - Imaginating [2004]). I’m loving it, but you’ve got me wanting to stitch all the good ol’ U.S.A. stuff now. I’ve got a bunch of it kitted up. Now I just need four to six extra hands and about 50 more years added to my life! LOL! Travel safely, enjoy your sister time (my sis and I are besties, so I know), and happy stitching!! ❤
Thanks so much! Yes six hands would be great!!!!
Enjoy your time with loved ones!
Love your Eyes on a sparrow, It’s gorgeous
Thanks so much!
I can ramble on all day long about how i love your stitching!, which is the absolute truth. I get so happy when i see you have posted a new video.
Also excited to tell the hubby when he comes in from work that Mr. Salt box is making a youtube channel. He is gonna like that so much.
What i really came on here to say, and this is unusual for me because i seriously rarely notice one’s clothing, hair, makeup etc. I am a very plain jane 😂😂. But, i just want to say that the blouse you are wearing is perfect on you!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I love your blouse, especially the sleeves! I don’t know what it is that caught my attention other than the fact that you look very lovely today ❤️. You always look lovely, it is just something about this blouse that suits you to a T. Okay, I will hush now that I have probably made you extremely uncomfortable, which was not my intention at all. I am a tshirt and blue jeans shorts kind of ol redneck gal. That is 99.9% of my attire. If i have to “dress up” I get very uncomfortable and feel so totally out of place. I just wanted to compliment you on your attire. You look absolutely lovely! ❤ Keep on stitching Sis and making these videos & i will keep watching. Thanks a million and Blessings to you and Mr. Saltbox and family 🙂🙂🙂
Aww shucks! Thank you so much!! ❤️
