Thanks Carol for the great podcast…you and your husband are very gracious with your talents…there is an old African saying…”when an old person dies, we lose a Library”…that is very true…congratulations on your sampler finish…the kitted samplers are beautiful…great news about your quilting podcasts…I appreciate everything you two do to enrich our life…stay safe and happy stitching❤️
Like you I may start to thaw something for dinner and change my mind before it has thawed. The idea of a separate quilt episode is a great idea. Thank you for doing these videos, I love every one of them. I have quilted for a long time and cross stitched and then took a long break before coming back to cross stitching the last couple of years.
Hi Carol, my friend! I love to stitch and watch British murder mysteries, too! And Vera is also my favorite! I also love her books and her friend, Anne Cleeves’ books. They are both awesome! I can’t wait to see your new quilt videos and your quilting. That Dear Jane quilt is really going to be fun to watch you do. That takes a lot of perseverance!! Stay warm and happy stitching til next time!! ❄️☃️❄️🧵🪡💕💕💕
Thank you my friend. Stay warm!!!🥰
Carol to me you are the most amazing stitcher I know...they are all so beautiful. I do not know how young I was sewing all my clothes. I do remember sewing the dresses I have photos of in the 5th grade. My Mom would take us to a chicken house farm to pick out our feed sack fabric. I have that sewing machine still. My Mom never would let us quilt. My grandmother hand made & sold quilts out of her home that the money was used to build a church. Up until a few years ago the celebrated one day each year in her honor because of those quilts she dedicated toward the church still standing. She was a midwife, she did doctor children & mother of 13 children. My grandfather was a Justice of Peace & carpenter of hand cut out furniture.
Wow! You have a wonderful heritage of handmade pieces!! I too sewed my clothes growing up! Unfortunately that is rare nowadays!!
I am excited for your new podcasts pertaining to quilting!! I love your stitchy projects, but I also quilt. Have been quilting for about 45 years and still love it. So I am looking forward to seeing quilts and tutorials. Thank you so much. It will be fun. I'm planning a Dear Jane quilt, I've had the book for years. ☕💗🙋♀️
Please, show your 65 year old quilt! I love the idea of doing quilting videos. I am going to make a quilt like the one hanging behind you. I am excited about this new adventure. Absolutely love your channel. Thanks Carol! And now a Dear Jane….awesome!
You could bequeath a sampler to each of your subscribers😍
I can’t even imagine how much $$$$$ you have in your home with fabric, floss, speciality floss and frames, and patterns! And then the quilting supplies Wow!
Stay warm it’s 14 here in Northern Utah this morning I’m thankful for our furnace. 💚
I don’t want to imagine that either. But I don’t drink or smoke or go out for fine dining sooooo my hobbies are my thing.
@@saltboxstitcher I agree Very good use of money.
Your Snooty Parrots is beautiful!! You are just good for my heart! I love your sense of humour! Thanks for sharing some of your beautiful kitted up projects. I will look forward to your quilty channel as well. Thanks as always Carol and happy stitching!
Hi Carol, I have to say you make me laugh! I love your sense of humor, the little rabbit holes you go down and when your "shipment" comes in I hope its amazing, lol! Like you said, that would be amazing, right?! Beautiful work on the Snooty Parrots, wow! I just started the border on All Creatures great and Small. I have never ever stitched anything that size and am a bit intimidated. One stitch at a time and enjoy the process. I am so excited for your quilting videos🎉🎉 The few quilts of yours that I have seen are so gorgeous, including he sawtooth quilt behind you! Hope you are staying warm! Thanks for sharing your makes and time with us! ☺
I enjoy your Floss Tubes and always wait to see and hear about your quilting. I am so pleased that you will be doing videos specific to quilting. Like you, I enjoy cross stitching, wool appliqué and making quilts. For a good many years work prevented me from digging into my projects, and I am now enjoying all of my creative outlets once again in retirement . Thanks so much - we also share being 70! Take care!!
Looking forward to your quilting videos in the future!! What first attracted me to watching your videos was all your old projects, so I think this will be as good as your cross stitching!! And you make me laugh about the cold!!! Stay war
M, Tammy
Thanks my friend!!!
Carol, Loved this video so much. Thank you for doing them. You are my very favorite flosstube stitcher. I am amazed at all you accomplish. I laughed out loud when you gave your 'weather report" and people wearing parkas and mittens when it is in the 50's, originally from Iowa I too know what below zero feels like. You have inspired me to get going again on Amy Eliza Herbert & to restart on 32ct tin roof ( originally started on 28 ct raw ). Looking forward to your quilting videos. As a longtime quilter I have long admired Jane Stickles civil war quilt, so am looking forward to that journey as well. Take care and stay warm whatever that requires!!!
Thank you so much. You’re very kind! I’m sure your Amy Herbert will be gorgeous!
You are such a beautiful stitcher and quilter! The number of kitted projects and packs of silk floss you have are amazing! That Dear Jane quilt is spectacular! That is an ambitious project! Your Snooty Parrots sampler is so pretty! I have no idea how you get things finished so quickly! Stay warm, it is cold for FL! Ohio is going to get another storm starting on Wednesday, so I'm going to stay home and stitch!
Hi Carol, love your sense of humor, it’s very like our British sense of humor, only we don’t tend to have to explain ourselves as we Brits, get the gist of the joke,. Love your work it’s beautiful. You make me laugh, with your ‘senior moments’, love it, you are so refreshing. When you laugh at yourself. You are so knowledgeable about cross stitch. Love your mention of Vera, we are retired and have our holiday home , a caravan based in Northumberland, it’s a magical place we spend as much time as possible up there.
Hello and Hello Carol. I will certainly be on your quilting journey with you I would love, if possible to give a tutorial on hand appliqué. Thanks Carol for all that you share. You’re a wealth of information. Xxxx
Wonderful video & love the quilt video idea too. Can't wait! You always give me so many ideas for more samplers to purchase & stitch. Never stop Carol & thank you.
I have been binge watching your Floss Tubes today. The applique Bonnie Blue/Red Crinoline quilt you shared (episode 51) was one of the most beautiful applique quilts I have ever seen. I love the changes you will be making in the lettering. It is just magnificent.
I am so excited that you are planning to show quilts! Don’t worry about the fabric. We can find other to use. Thank you for showing your work. Such a joy to watch! Shary
I sew love the Dear Jane. My mother made this and I am sew fortunate to have it. I have her first quilt and her last one which was the Dear Jane. I think it took her several years and I cherish it and know how much time and love she put into every block.
What a wonderful legacy that she has given you. I can only hope my daughter will get mine and love it!! But I guess I need to finish it first. 😂
I can't wait to see all your quilts. Love your videos and get excited every time I get a notification there is a new one!
Love your first Barbara design. And thank you for some of your favorite shops, I have found some lovely treasures. You are fabulous. We love the product on your walls too!
Happy to hear about your quilting adventure. I think part of the joy of quilting is choosing your own fabric combinations. I am sure you have lots of experience to share with us all. I would love to do Dear Jane. Have loved it forever!
I really enjoy seeing your beautiful work. I am not a quilter but I will be watching your quilting floss tubes. I love learning about them and admiring their beauty. I also share your love of British mysteries. Vera is my favorite too.
I loved seeing all the Hats kits and hearing about your future plans! I am also a quilter so your announcement made me happy. I have a suggestion for a future flosstube. Since I don’t have a close LNS I’m not familiar with all the different flosses available. I’d love to have you go over some of the different flosses available and tell us why you like some more than others and how you decide which to use for specific projects. Also where do you buy hanks?
I was thinking that very thing. I would also like to know what counts of fabric are best for the silks.
I chime in and agree. Some of these flosses I've never heard of. How are they used, how many strands and how expensive are they?? Where to buy it etc.
I'm so excited for your quilting videos!!! Thank you to you and your husband for deciding to do that!!
Well you certainly inspired me with your blue one patch quilt. I have some jelly rolls that are red/cream and I was thinking 🤔 “should use those up and make a quilt like Olivia B”. Keep quilting please!!! Try some mini quilts to get your mojo back. And ps…I made an all white quilt years ago for a friend to give as a bridal shower gift for her daughter. And while machine quilting it on my sewing machine, the needle went right through my finger. Tip of the day…. Your own spit(saliva) will get out your own blood from a white quilt. That’s why I now have a long arm. 😂 😂😂
@@saltboxstitcher See, this is why people like me need quilting videos from people like you. I never even thought to use a jelly roll! Lol! Now I need to make another one...
I'm not sure the needle through the finger story has me clamoring to do more machine quilting, Carol, but you make a heck of an argument for a long arm! 🤣
I’m very excited to see your quilting videos. I’m also a quilter, but very novice compared to you so your quilts will mean a lot to me. I really enjoyed your video today. I am in the middle of making my chart selections for the year. I have about 10 in mind, but they can be changed if I see something new. Please keep showing us all you have, I love it and love your bubble personality. Keep it up and enjoy your creative juices.
Carol there is always buy me a coffee!! You have given so much information to everyone we could help you with money to be used for framing. Please think about it. We love you.
So excited for the Saltbox Quilter episodes! Thank you for taking the time to show us your quilting journey. An occasional tutorial may be fun too. I’m also addicted to Vera.
Glad to hear about the refreezing thing. I also do that. But you made laugh when you said you wouldn't cook something thawed out too long! I enjoyed your HATS focus! Because of you & Brenda & Laura I started 3 HATS samplers this week. I
used to be a totally monogamous stitcher & then Covid happened & I found flosstube! Thanks for sharing with us again!
I too enjoy watching Vera. Always a pleasure to watch what you have and work on and see all the pattern goodies.
Carol I just love you so much! I do the same thing....chicken sounds good in the morning but by noon I’ve changed my mind and want pork chops. I always enjoy seeing your patterns and linens and floss because like others, I forget that I’ve seen them before. 🤣 I got to see the Dear Jane quilt in person several years ago - such a treasure. I’m looking forward to seeing your quilt videos. Blessings, Marlene
I love you too my friend!!! You are the absolute sweetest!!!
Great video as always. Can’t wait for you to share your quilting with us. Stay warm. It is below zero in MN and we consider it a nice day at 30-40 degrees in the winter.
I love that you are planning to have some quilting videos. Please don't worry about the issue of the fabric not being available. There are plenty of folks online sharing their quilting and I don't get the feeling that it's an issue for them. I'm both stitcher and quilter and I love when you show your quilts at the end of the videos. In fact, I watch what you show us even though I'm not a sampler stitcher because I find the charts fascinating. However, I get really excited when the quilts come into view. It will be fun to watch your journey with "Dear Jane."
Carol, I love how you go off on tangents and laugh at yourself for doing so. Glad you know that you can’t re-freeze meat 🥩 🤣. As always I am fascinated on how much stitching you get done. Love watching your videos.
I do look forward to your quilting video. It will be lovely to see your quilts!
I will be 72 this year, so I identify with two of your concerns: will I live long enough to finish my stitching and quilting projects and who will want the things I have made? Then, I look at my mom who just turned 94 and is still quilting, so there is hope! She has a boat load of quilts, and thankfully, lots of grandkids to inherit. Keep stitching and making your videos. We love them.
Had such a laugh about the weather and how people bundle up. My daughter has asked if I will leave all the quilts I’ve made to her in my Will. No, you will have to take turns. “But how will we decide?” Not my problem, I won’t be here! I look forward to your quilting videos!!! I was quilting while watching tonight. I did counted cross stitch in the 80’s, started quilting in ‘86 and in the last few months picked up the cross stitch again. I live in Lincoln, Nebraska and not far from the International Quilt Museum.
Hi Carol! Love your flosstube and how many charts you have for such beautiful samplers. You are very inspiring. I also am excited about your Dear Jane journey and quilting UA-cam. I have finished the first row of blocks for DJ and am excited that I can crossstitch along and quilt stitch along with you. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Hello from NC Carol, thank you for another fun visit. Cold up here too! Thank you for sharing your beautiful WIPs with us. I learn so much about thread and linen choices from you. Your granddaughter sounds precious, thank you for sharing those stories with us.
Just spent a little time in Cocoa Beach & saw lots of stocking caps & parkas, while others were sunbathing, but it was nice to run away from the VA snow! Absolutely love FL & can’t wait to be a real snowbird or move permanently! Love seeing the patterns, linens & flosses you choose, as always, & you definitely caused me to add to my “ wants & needs” list!!
Best wishes on starting your Saltbox Quilter Channel & I will highly recommend to all of my quilting friends, who keep trying to inspire me to learn how to!
Enjoyable as always! Thanks! I’ve always wanted to quilt but have been afraid of the commitment so I’ll enjoy it vicariously through you 😄
Yay for future quilting videos! Wow - Dear Jane is quite the undertaking, but I can’t wait to follow along on the journey. Happy February! ❤️
I look forward to watching your quilting videos too. You kept me company today while I ripped out 30 year old stitching. I probably should have just chucked it and bought new fabric, lol! Have a wonderful couple of weeks.
I love it when I see another video notification from you, Carol! 💗
Aww you are too sweet! I’m always excited to see yours as well!!🥰
Yeah for Saltbox Quilter. I am so excited! Love all you do.
Congrats on your Snooty Parrot finish . Great kit and pattern parade. Looking forward to your quilt journey and channel .
Carol, I am so excited for your quilt videos! I am both a stitcher and quilter, and will love seeing both! I just love spending time with you…I am your age, and laugh so much! Thank you for sharing your gifts…it means more than you know!🥰
I’m thrilled about Saltbox Quilter!
I'm excited for the separated quilt videos. This is going to be good. Can't wait. I love both stitching and quilting and really would like to see more of your quilting. Thanks for the video and thanks to your husband. He does a great job too
He does do a fabulous job. But let’s not give him a big head about it. Hahaha!!!
I can hardly wait for the Saltbox Quilter!
Another wonderful video, Carol! I always enjoy seeing and learn so much about the samplers and charts you present to us. And, I am excited for the future ‘Saltbox Quilter’ videos to come! I look forward to seeing your quilts!
Enjoyed all the HAtS charts...i'm trying to build up the courage to pick one and go for it! Although I don't quilt, I LOVE seeing your work and am happy that you will be adding the new episodes for Quilters. Happy stitching!
I’m very excited to see your quilting journey on Dear Jane! I love cross stitching, quilting, punch needle and wool appliqué!
I love how you make me laugh right along with you!!
I always enjoy spending time with you, seeing your projects and progress.
Happy stitching
Charlotte
Woo hoo! Can’t wait for quilting videos, too! Doesn’t matter if we can’t get it; appreciating beautiful handiwork is always great! Thanks for putting in all the work for our viewing pleasure.
So excited that you will be showing more of your quilts. I also do quilting and cross stitching. Enjoy your videos very much. Love your samplers. You may donate one or two to me in your book of days. I started Dear Jane about 25 years ago, but never finished it. I may have to start it again.
Loved watching your progress and so happy you are adding quilting!! Yay!!
Always fun, always entertaining. You never fail to make me giggle. Thank you
I can’t wait to see your quilt videos, I have quilted for about as long as you and stitching for about as long with a long hiatus while raising my three girls. I am also a Longarm quilter as well. I love everything you do, we have similar taste, but I don’t cross stitch quite as fast as you. Thanks for the videos I enjoy each and everyone.
Ooohhhh...quilting too, and Dear Jane no less--yes please!
I started a Dear Jane quilt around 2007-I probably have 20 or so blocks completed all by hand. I look forward to watching you work on yours. I haven’t quilted in years (other than EPP) but maybe watching you will spur me on to work on Dear Jane.
Looking forward to the quilting videos. I also do quilting (that could be said to be my primary craft, in fact, more than cross stitch) and will enjoy seeing what you're working on and what you have done in the past. Thanks for this video and for all of them - I enjoy them all and look forward to seeing a new one.
Hi Carol, really looking forward to your new quilt videos , great video this week . Thanks for sharing xxxxx
I have done Dear Jane. Sewing the little blocks was more fun than eating candy. I paper pieced, hand appliquéd, machine pieced the blocks together and hand quilted it. I named it “My Journey with Jane”.
How fabulous!!!
Carol
Your Snooty Parrot sampler is beautiful
I like that you work on what you want to stitch
Your stitching is so pretty
Have a good couple of weeks
Your Snooty Parrots looks beautiful. Can’t wait to see your beautiful quilting!
You did it, another sampler in a month! It is a beauty. I totally understand though you cannot do it the whole year. I can totally see you during there stitching away and promising: next month you can switch as much as you want, Carol...
I love seeing your stitching and you inspire (enable!) me to do more! I'm looking forward to your quilt videos!!! I too, am a quilter.
Snooty Parrot is beautiful! I am amazed that anyone could stitch a complete sampler in one month, start to finish. Loved seeing all your other sampler possibilities. Thank you for sharing all your stitching with us.
Hello there my friend…I was so comfortable with my projects for the year until I watched your video! I’m dying to start the Lady in Red Spinning Her Wool!!!!! Oh it’s so hard to stick with a plan🤣😂. So many fantastic charts. I love everything you showed!!!!! So inspiring. So Rachel inspires you and then it spills all over to me and I bet many others!!!!
Aww you are so sweet! Thanks so much my friend!🥰
I’m so happy to hear about the quilting videos
Loved seeing all your samplers and listening to your plans! I, too, am a quilter so I would LOVE to see your quilts. I think I started quilting around 1975. I remember sitting on my bed in the college dorm and hand piecing Bear Paw. (Nerd alert!) I just fininshed piecing and appliqueing "Harvest Basket" from BBD "When the Cold WInd Blows," the third quilt I made from that book. Love their quilt designs as well as cross stitch!
So excited to see your quilting videos! My favorite flosstubers showcase both stitching and quilting. I’m always in awe of your beautiful samplers! Thanks for sharing YOU with us! Blessings from Nebraska.
Snooty Parrots is beautiful!
Love all of your future projects.
Marilyn
I’m very excited about your quilting channel. I quilt a little but I would love tips and inspiration. I’m unsure of doing a difficult quilt like Dear Jane. I look forward to your first quilting video.❤️❤️
All your work is just lovely. I can’t wait to see your Saltbox quilter videos. Thanks for sharing! Nicole 🇨🇦
Yaaaaa I quilt also. So excited about your upcoming quilt youtube. Wonderful
Great video awesome Sampler charts!!! Your finished Sampler is gorgeous!!!
Looking forward to your quilting videos!!
Hi Carol, yes to the quilting videos, I've been quilting since 1981, seeing what others are working on is inspirational. Love your stitching videos also. I also have a large stash of cross stitch suppliers.they all said by the stash before retirement. ..lol first retirement was 2015...second retirement from nursing was 2021...40 yrs of full time nursing....time to stitch in my new studio.
I have had times when I could not hear you very well, but the last couple of times, you have sounded perfect!
Hi Carol! Loved the video as always! Can't wait for quilting videos! It will be interesting to see your older quilts and see how you could use today's fabrics. Stay well and worm. Happy stitching! Lori at Once Upon a Stitch
I love your channel and am very excited about your quilting shows.
Love that you going to do quilt show! Happy dance!💃🕺
Your stitching is fabulous but I can’t wait to see your quilting videos!
Sooo good to see you Carol! Your work is exemplary and I love to listen to you share your thoughts. Snooty Parrots is lovely. I have it kitted with sooo many others. Made a list for Nashville and that will give me plenty and I too must curb my enthusiasm and frame as. I go. I do get such pleasure at just reading my graphs. Life is busy and I getting better at juggling my life and my stitching!
I always love seeing your posts on what you are stitching! You are a sampler inspiration!!! ❤️❤️
I’m so excited about your new quilting video adventure! I always look forward to your videos as they are so inspirational. Thank you for sharing all your gifts with the stitching community.
Snooty Parrots is gorgeous! I'm looking forward to seeing the progress on your other samplers and seeing your quilting
Loved another fun video. I can’t wait to watch your quilting videos! What a great idea! Yay!
Yes, to quilts. I love piecing and quilting and have some laying around to finish and I know you will enable me to just get it done !
Beautiful Snooty Parots❤️
Anxious for your quilting videos Carol, I am sure I will enjoy equally as much. I don't want a ton of duplicates either. I don't kit ahead nearly as much for that reason, so not as yummy to look ahead as your projects. Stay warm.
Carol, I really enjoy your videos and look forward to watching your quilting videos. I have the Dear Jane book that I bought many years ago and have never made it. I need to pull it out and try making it with you all. Looking forward to you next video.
Yay, quilting videos. Can’t wait.
Enjoyed your floss tube! Love all the information on flosses and linen! Your work is beautiful. I am a quilter and look forward to your quilting floss tube!!
That's such great news, I'm super excited to see your quilt videos!
Love that you have finished Snnoty Pariots.
I had to laugh when you were talking about Floridians being bundled up during your cold snap. We visited Walt Disney World back in a February in the late 90s, and it was in the 80s when we arrived but soon turned colder. It was in the 60s during the day (like a fall day for us). All of the natives were dressed in heavy coats, hats, and mittens. We were comfortable in long sleeve sweaters, hoodies and sweatshirts, but the people from Minnesota and Wisconsin were in shorts and tees! I guess it is what you are used to temperature-wise.
I enjoy watching Vera also. You tempt me with your Dear Jane journey!
Hi Carol
Love Everything that you showed. I cannot stitch anything higher than 28.
I have been to Jacksonville FL 3 different times due to my brothers being stationed there when they was in the Navy.
My area - Northern Indiana - is getting a real bad Snowstorm on Wednesday and Thursday.
Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🪡🧵
Hi Carol, I look forward to your quilting videos.
Loved the HATS charts and can’t wait to see your quilting videos. I am a beginner and have a lot to learn. :)
