Carol, I love your flosstubes, your personality, your cross stitch picks, such a breath of fresh air@ Can hardly wait til your next one ! You ate my # 1 !!
Loved all your finishes! I pulled an all nighter looking at my wips and floss tube and Etsy and just as you started talking about Live on Little , I was pulling it out and mine is kitted but I’m deciding on my fabric. I hope you get it finished! At 69 and stitching alone, I enjoy laughing and smiling as I watch your videos. My two quilty/ stitchy friends are sadly both gone and I miss the camaraderie. Thank you and happy stitching!
I’m sorry for your loss. Quilty and stitchy friends certainly enhance our lives. I’ve been working fiercely on Live on Little but sadly am not yet finished. But I have made some good progress. I’ll be thrilled when she’s finished!
So enjoy your videos. The FFOs were beautiful. The FOs are beautiful. ‘5 weeks’! Are you kidding me! That would take me years. As a seasoned stitcher, I always wonder how you flosstube Ra get so much stitched. I’d love to join you zoom, just to watch you stitch. I’m wayyyy too slow. Thanks for sharing!!!
Hi Carol. I never tire of seeing your stitching, especially "Sparrow". It is gorgeous. I want to also stitch a Hawk Run Hollow. But, one would be enough ! Lol. See you when you have time for another visit.
Hello Carol, it’s hot and humid up here in NC too!…summer indeed. Your finishes on are gorgeous! I found myself saying “gorgeous Carol”. Thank you for sharing the linen and thread choices with us. I love patriotic stitching. Thank Mr. Saltbox for his production expertise. More than anything, thank you Carol for providing those of us who love you, a respite where we can, for at least a little while, forget things when the world makes no sense. God bless America Carol…God bless America.
Great video beautiful stitching as usual.I'm working on Olga's stocking too.I'm Loving it So MuchI can't work on my other stuff !!!!. I Love every stitch of it! Take care and Enjoy💚
I prefer you'll be back in a week ;-) Here in Europe it's to cold for the summer so come to Europe in stead of sticking your head in the freezer. As always: love your work, love your stories!
Carol! You're a hoot!!!! I literally laughed out loud at "go stick your head in a freezer" if it gets too hot! Now I just hope you don't advise us to go stick our head in the oven when we get too cold this winter! 🤣🤣🤣 I absolutely love your videos. Which reminds me, don't apologize even if you did show one of your pieces last time. I could look at your work every half hour! I love seeing all that you accomplish. Thank you for the heads up on the symbol mix-up on God Bless America. I have that one and got one for my sister, too. I'll have to check our copies to see if they are the early prints with the error. Thank you for sharing!!! LOVE YA!!!!! 💖
I loved your latest video!!! Actually I’ve loved all of your videos and your fabulous stitching! You have a beautiful soft palette that is so calming and your embroidery pieces are icing on the cake. Your trip to Greece sounds fabulous!!! Enjoy!!!!❤️
Carol thank you for your delightful channel. Also thanks so much for talking about the differences in the colors for Live on Little. I just got back from Cape cod and decided to stitch it for remembrance. As always you are very informative and a delight to watch.
Hello, Carol, you are amazing! I have no idea how you manage to do as much stitching as you do! I live in the desert and it’s about 115 here but as you, am inside and in air conditioning. Thanks so much for the discovery and explanation of why my blue DMC varies. I’d never had caught that and the 931,932 etc. I use a lot. Thank you for taking time out of your day to do your floss tube. Sam
Love you too, Carol! It’s hot in Texas too….and it’s summer!!!! What do you expect???? I loved the video, all your patriotic and your wishes for fall stitching. Sunday is my birthday and I’m going to start Away We Ride. I got the chart months ago and I had admired it for a year or so before ordering it. I have to get the flosses all together in the next day or two. What fun to look forward to a piece you’ve liked a lot. Stay cool and come back when you can!!! Carol in Texas
Wonderful to see you! I stitched #monsterhousesal by Satsuma Street while “we chatted.” The old lady in the rocker is “Whistler’s Mother” I think. Your finishes are beautiful! I don’t like a lot of frou-frou either. Congratulations on all your progress! I love your changes on Plum Street’s God Bless America. I think you get a lot done! Happy stitching! Hugs!❤
I look forward to your visiting with me! Thank you did taking the time (and your husband). We will miss Running With Scissors!!! I love everything about your videos. Just saying
Loved your video, as always. Thanks for the update on Jane and Julie-I’ve been wondering and worried. It’s a hot, humid 90 up here in northern Illinois! Great time to stitch!
So happy to see your post that I went right to it! Get why you're scaling back, but will definitely miss seeing you every 2 weeks. Love all you shared today! Thank you!
I just love your videos & I think your finishing is beautiful…you inspire me to try some finishing myself. The interaction between you and Mr. Saltbox makes me smile…thanks for sharing.
Love all your pillows! They look great. As for change in DMC colours, as I understand it, it’s rather more complicated than just different dye lots. DMC have always prided themselves on consistency. I heard a year or so ago that environmental rules in the EU had changed, and meant that the chemicals used in the dyeing process, and the chemicals used for fixing the dyes, had to change in order to meet new standards. I thought it was mainly going to affect reds, but obviously the other colours look like they’ve changed a bit, too. (All the 926 I have is like your “old” colour). And yes, here in New Zealand we are in the depths of winter, and traditional Christmas stitching makes perfect sense!
Whistler's Mother , the famous piece of art on your bling. Enjoy seeing all your beautiful projects. and you are just fine, we all are unique. Take care and stay cool
Love all your stitching and all the episodes! I look at all but dont comment all the time. I should be better. Your stitching Are stunning Carol i dont know how you do it! And all the stunning FFO s , Bravo🤗🌞💞🙏 in middle Norway where i am its been from 24F to 93F this summer ( june - july) its crazy, hope you have a great summer ahead and looking forward to Next time 💞🌞🤗🇳🇴regards Gurli from Norway
You have some absolutely beautiful FFOs Carol!! What a great feeling to have them finished! It is always fun to see what you are working on. Love your fall/Halloween pieces. One of these days I am going to start Olga's stocking. I just finished Hello Halloween by Teresa Kogut and have Jack's Bash ready to start next. Thanks as always for the time and effort you and Mr. Saltbox put into your videos. It is so appreciated. I do plan on watching Mr. Saltbox's FT but I have a hard time in summer getting much FT time but I will get there. Happy stitching!
All your fully finished projects are looking gorgeous. I'm also a firm believer in letting a finish marinade before it gets fully finished 😂. Looking forward to your finish on Live a Little
Interesting info for "Live On Little". I have stitched it and really thought the waves lacked a lot of contrast, but I rolled with it because I was a newer stitcher when I started it. In the end I am very happy with it and did enjoy working on it. But, I have no idea how someone could stitch it in 3 weeks. I hope you can get your needle blazing. It's a beautiful pattern! Love all you shared. Thank you.
Carol, That God Bless America by Plum Street is gorgeous!! Just added it to my wish list, amongst others! LOL So enjoy seeing you and your finishes. All the love! Jennifer
Thanks for the eye candy Carol. I keep looking at the quilt over your shoulder, I've had the pattern for 87 years (as Laura Duet would say), no signs of stitching yet. Right now I'm done the hooked rug rabbit hole. Maybe some fall stitching will lure me away. Happy Stitching 🪡🪡🪡
I'm so glad you're pulling out some WIPs to work on. It's so satisfying. Your work is oh so beautiful. Oh and congrats on the many FFOs. What a shame that that big beautiful tree was taken down by the tornado. It must have been quite old. You know my mom told great stories and before telling one she always asked me if she'd tole me before. I always answered that I was sure she had but to tell it again because my memory is so bad and that was the truth. I just love rehearing the old stories and my one regret is that I didn't record some for me and my children. Love you too Carol. Stay cool if possible. It's been super hot here in Québec but we're getting a storm which seems to be cooling things down.
Thank you! I too wish I had recordings of both my mom and grandma! That’s one of my reasons for sharing my stitching journey on FT. So my grands will never forget grammie!!!❤️
Hi Carol, great video tend to watch twice in a row because there's so much goodness in the video. Your the only one I do this to. Everything is great take care 🤗
Hot in Arizona but higher humidity has lowered the temps. I live in the mountains. I love to see your plans for Autumn stitching but I started a Christmas-y design while watching you😅glad you and the Mr did not get hit by the tornado!
I agree with you on the DMC dye lots. We all consider them “stable”, but those of us with vintage stash can see a change. I try to gauge how much I will need for a project. If my older stuff is enough, I use that to try and get rid of it.
Carol…OH my word… that DMC issue happened to me…I pulled out thread from an older number and stitched part of a dress and it was a large part… I couldn’t believe it.. I ended up tea dyeing the old thread so I didn’t have to take it all out. I had no idea this was a problem. Loved all your finishes.
Someone suggested to me that the Dmc variations are from EU putting restrictions on types of dyes used. So that sounds like that was the cause. It would have been nice to know that!!! Oh well. Dmc is still our best and cheapest floss so we will keep using it obviously!
Loved everything. Just need more and more time! Summer in Midwest is hot...just the way it is! I just finished Patriotic Quaker I got at Colour and Coty....the floss is absolutely gorgeous! Working on Stars from Plum Street...aa much to stitch.
Oh my gosh love that shirt, Carol, all your Patriotic finishing is lovely. I have a collection of watering cans that I plant flowers in each year, love that sewing bag, I love Maggie Bonami designs, lovely progress on your stitching, oh my Baily is adorable, Mr. Salt Box, you are also adorable. I have bought new DMC to use with my old DMC, I have had nor problem with different color threads, I keep all my threads in a DMC box out of the light in the sewing room. Carol: You have so many lovely designs in the works, we have had many storms and another today. It is very hot here, I am a hot weather girl, here in Minnesota it gets cold, very cold, so sorry about the power outages. We also have a generator, so worth the money.
I love all the things that you show. Whether it's new stash, haul, or simply progress you've made on your WIPs, it's all good and inspirational. Sometimes when I get bogged down, I get one of your videos on because it's like visiting with a dear friend. Thank you, Carol, for all you do. It's appreciated more than you know.
Love your floss tube and seeing your beautiful stitching. I have some DMC that’s forty years old 😮- some of the colors are exactly the same as today and some are quite different like your examples. I pick the one I like best! Uh
Hi carol I just found your channel and I love it! Your work is amazing I'm on number 4 video so you could say I'm binge watching lol Sending you big Toni hugs from the UK 🇬🇧❤️
So sad to hear I will not get to see you every two weeks. I’ve been watching you for years now. Thank you for all the wonderful and inspirational ideas. You are my kind of stitcher.
Thank you for taking the time to explain the color change in DMC. I was having some of the same problems. Also, some of mine have faded in spots where light has got to the outside. Love your floss tubes.
Truly I “needed” your floss tube….sanity and comfort (and inspiration). Thanks, Carol and hubby, for all the time and effort you put into your videos. We love you and love all your stitching! ❤
Live on Little was probably one of my favorite stitches. I almost hated finishing it. I’m working on American Welcome now and looking forward to having it on the wall next to Live on Little. Keep at it and enjoy the stitch.
Thanks, Carol! Always love seeing what you are working on! Personally, I am already doing some fall, as I am hoping to finish a piece or two for this year. Am also working on some patriotic smalls that can stay out technically until after Labor Day. Great minds! We are on the same page! I finished 'Live on Little' last Fall and had some issues with the colors as you discussed. Now I see what some of the problem is. Thanks for that and heads up...my issue was more around the white that did not show up on my linen at all. The yellows in the sun were also problematic. Overall, though, it is a beautiful piece! Just need to find the right frame. Happy stitching and stay cool, my friend!
I’ve been working mostly on Live on Little which I call LOL! Seems to fit as it has a little of full coverage areas!!! I’m ready for fall too but I really want to get LOL finished!!! 😁
Another fun show! I adore your finishes... definitely pay your finisher self and give her a generous tip!! Thanks for remembering Julie and Jane... I miss them so much! 🥰
So good to see you. Your videos always make my day!! Sometimes I even watch them twice. You do such lovely stitching and it is "right up my alley". Thanks so much Carol for sharing !!
Carol and Mr. Saltbox...thank you for sharing your beautiful stitching...love everything you shared and your plans...you're so inspiring...best wishes ❤❤
"You're killing me, smalls!" I say that to my little dog all the time when he's driving me crazy. 😝 As always, thank you for all the inspiration, especially the hint of fall!
Good morning Carol. I love the comment on your post for this video. It’s hot. It’s summer, duh! It has always been hot in summer. It is usually humid. That’s why summer is my least favorite season. Deal with it people! Your patriotic finishes are beautiful. I love the choices of charts you choose to stitch. I love your style. Some of your future stitching is very labor intensive. I have been doing smalls lately. BTW, my husband subscribed to the new channel to be coming soon being presented by your hubby. I always look forward to your next video and seeing some of your beautiful work.
Hi Carol, I like all of your patriotic pieces that you’ve finished. Live on little island looking good. Wow I hope that no one was hurt from that huge tree that fell in your neighborhood. Where I lived in Jax when I lived there our power cables were buried.. Have a great week.
My daughter’s neighborhood also has the cables buried. I live in an older area though so ours are not. No one was hurt though, so that’s was a good thing!!!
Carol your finished are beautiful. Stop saying they’re not!!! Your stitching is always amazing. I love his eye on the sparrow. There are so many animal motifs. I love your videos too. ❤
The heat is here in Michigan too Carol. Love, love, love your finishings and all your stitching!! I look forward to seeing you again soon. Happy stitching, and stay cool❤
Hi Carol New Yorks weather is no picnic 😅😅 I always love your videos! And I want you to know that I ordered Hannah’s Brownstone, I bought mine from Everything Cross Stitch but 123Stitch carries it as well. So thank you for the enabling 😂 thank for another amazing video ♥️
Another great video Carol!! You are so funny, cracks me up every time!! Great stitching as always, can't wait until your next video. Happy stitching!! ❤😊
Oh perfect timing!! Car ride back from a wonderful crazy family vacay with all Of us and zero stitching time which is fine but I’m Getting antsy! So watching you is perfect! I can live vicariously !! And make my shopping lists of course!! Thank you so so much for feeding my stitching soul 😊
I’m always happy to see a new video from you ❤ I also stitch borders first for the same exact reason. Thanks for sharing everything! Looking forward to Mr. Saltbox’s new channel. 👍
Thank you for another beautiful floss tube video Carol. The weather here in the UK is awful, we’re basically not having any summer at all. Stitching and Floss Tubing keeps me going. I love all your projects and your stitching and finishing is awesome. Obviously you’re a great enabler helping me adding to my stash😂 💐

Carol, I love your flosstubes, your personality, your cross stitch picks, such a breath of fresh air@ Can hardly wait til your next one ! You ate my # 1 !!
You are my # 1 !!
Thank you so much!!! I just recorded this week and hubs is currently editing so maybe it will go live by this weekend.
Will no doubt watch this video over a couple orf times
Aww thanks so much!
Loved all your finishes! I pulled an all nighter looking at my wips and floss tube and Etsy and just as you started talking about Live on Little , I was pulling it out and mine is kitted but I’m deciding on my fabric. I hope you get it finished! At 69 and stitching alone, I enjoy laughing and smiling as I watch your videos. My two quilty/ stitchy friends are sadly both gone and I miss the camaraderie. Thank you and happy stitching!
64 and never had a stitchy friend but love watching this and a couple of other flosstubes.
I’m sorry for your loss. Quilty and stitchy friends certainly enhance our lives. I’ve been working fiercely on Live on Little but sadly am not yet finished. But I have made some good progress. I’ll be thrilled when she’s finished!
So enjoy your videos. The FFOs were beautiful. The FOs are beautiful. ‘5 weeks’! Are you kidding me! That would take me years.
As a seasoned stitcher, I always wonder how you flosstube Ra get so much stitched. I’d love to join you zoom, just to watch you stitch. I’m wayyyy too slow. Thanks for sharing!!!
Glad you like them! Thank you!
Hi Carol. I never tire of seeing your stitching, especially "Sparrow". It is gorgeous. I want to also stitch a Hawk Run Hollow. But, one would be enough ! Lol. See you when you have time for another visit.
Thank you so much! Go for it!!!
Whistler's Mother is the name of the woman in the rocking chair. Love to see our work.
Yes thank you! I couldn’t remember that!!!
Love all your finishes. Your husband’s pop in was great.
Thank you so much!
Hello Carol, it’s hot and humid up here in NC too!…summer indeed. Your finishes on are gorgeous! I found myself saying “gorgeous Carol”. Thank you for sharing the linen and thread choices with us.

Thanks so much! You are certainly right, the world is a mess!!! 🙃
Carol your makeup and hair is fabulous. That husband of yours is a keeper ❤
Oh thank you!

Always enjoy your videos so much, Carol. Your work is stunning ❤
Thank you so much!

Hmmm maybe not advisable to put your head in the oven. Lol.
Thanks so much!
Great progress & projects.
Nice haul too.
It is unusually hot early her in WI.
We don't usually get this kind of heat until late August.
Marilyn
Oh Carol what I wouldn’t give for some sun! Has to fly to Greece for it!! Love your stitches and plans ❤
I loved your latest video!!! Actually I’ve loved all of your videos and your fabulous stitching! You have a beautiful soft palette that is so calming and your embroidery pieces are icing on the cake. Your trip to Greece sounds fabulous!!! Enjoy!!!!❤️

Carol, That God Bless America by Plum Street is gorgeous!! Just added it to my wish list, amongst others! LOL So enjoy seeing you and your finishes. All the love! Jennifer
It was so fun! But it was a typical plum street with lots of dense stitching!
Love your wall of Samplers! You finishings are beautiful.
Thank you!
Thanks for the eye candy Carol. I keep looking at the quilt over your shoulder, I've had the pattern for 87 years (as Laura Duet would say), no signs of stitching yet. Right now I'm done the hooked rug rabbit hole. Maybe some fall stitching will lure me away. Happy Stitching 🪡🪡🪡
Nothing wrong with spending time rug hooking! I have a couple started that I need to finish. Someday! Sigh!
Thanks for the tip on the DMC that I have kitted for LIVE ON LITTLE. I must check.
I'm so glad you're pulling out some WIPs to work on. It's so satisfying. Your work is oh so beautiful. Oh and congrats on the many FFOs. What a shame that that big beautiful tree was taken down by the tornado. It must have been quite old.

Love your floss tube and seeing your beautiful stitching. I have some DMC that’s forty years old 😮- some of the colors are exactly the same as today and some are quite different like your examples. I pick the one I like best! Uh
Thank you!!! I agree!!
Hi carol
I just found your channel and I love it!
Your work is amazing
I'm on number 4 video so you could say I'm binge watching lol
Sending you big Toni hugs from the UK 🇬🇧❤️
Awesome! Thank you so much!! And welcome to my crazy ramblings!!
So sad to hear I will not get to see you every two weeks. I’ve been watching you for years now. Thank you for all the wonderful and inspirational ideas. You are my kind of stitcher.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for another wonderful video. Love ya!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for all of the inspiration! Stay cool! 🩷🪡
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you. 😊
Always love seeing your progress!!!!
Thanks Laurel!
Thank you for taking the time to explain the color change in DMC. I was having some of the same problems. Also, some of mine have faded in spots where light has got to the outside. Love your floss tubes.
Glad it helped! Thanks!
Truly I “needed” your floss tube….sanity and comfort (and inspiration). Thanks, Carol and hubby, for all the time and effort you put into your videos. We love you and love all your stitching! ❤
Thanks so much!!
Thank you for sharing your FFOs. Wonderful job.
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Love all your beautiful stitching. Always enjoy my time with you. 😊
Thank you so much!
Your finishes are darling.
Thank you!
Live on Little was probably one of my favorite stitches. I almost hated finishing it. I’m working on American Welcome now and looking forward to having it on the wall next to Live on Little. Keep at it and enjoy the stitch.
I love American Welcome too!!! Are you coming to Stitch Jax in August? Hope to see you there!!!
@@saltboxstitcher Yes! I’m hoping to finish American Welcome and bring it. Either as a finish or a WIP! 😉 see you there!
Thanks, Carol! Always love seeing what you are working on! Personally, I am already doing some fall, as I am hoping to finish a piece or two for this year. Am also working on some patriotic smalls that can stay out technically until after Labor Day. Great minds! We are on the same page! I finished 'Live on Little' last Fall and had some issues with the colors as you discussed. Now I see what some of the problem is. Thanks for that and heads up...my issue was more around the white that did not show up on my linen at all. The yellows in the sun were also problematic. Overall, though, it is a beautiful piece! Just need to find the right frame. Happy stitching and stay cool, my friend!
I’ve been working mostly on Live on Little which I call LOL! Seems to fit as it has a little of full coverage areas!!! I’m ready for fall too but I really want to get LOL finished!!! 😁
I always enjoy seeing the small projects with which you seasonally decorate. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Another fun show! I adore your finishes... definitely pay your finisher self and give her a generous tip!!
Thanks for remembering Julie and Jane... I miss them so much! 🥰
I love holiday hoopla odd july 4th. I love all the red.
Great video. Just love to see all you have..started or finished.
Thanks so much!
Good video! I tell stories all the time too. Love all your finishes. I finish some of my things but send alot out. I really am not a good finisher.
So good to see you. Your videos always make my day!! Sometimes I even watch them twice. You do such lovely stitching and it is "right up my alley". Thanks so much Carol for sharing !!
Thank you!
Everything you are working on is so beautiful. You are definitely an encouragement
Thank you so much!
Carol and Mr. Saltbox...thank you for sharing your beautiful stitching...love everything you shared and your plans...you're so inspiring...best wishes ❤❤
Thank you so much!
Such beautiful stitching. I always look forward to your videos and appreciate you sharing them with us!
Thank you!
Your finishes are fabulous. At least you do them. I enjoy the stitching! Like you, my pieces have to age before I FFO.
"You're killing me, smalls!" I say that to my little dog all the time when he's driving me crazy. 😝 As always, thank you for all the inspiration, especially the hint of fall!
Good morning Carol. I love the comment on your post for this video. It’s hot. It’s summer, duh! It has always been hot in summer. It is usually humid. That’s why summer is my least favorite season. Deal with it people! Your patriotic finishes are beautiful. I love the choices of charts you choose to stitch. I love your style. Some of your future stitching is very labor intensive. I have been doing smalls lately.
BTW, my husband subscribed to the new channel to be coming soon being presented by your hubby. I always look forward to your next video and seeing some of your beautiful work.
Hi Carol, I like all of your patriotic pieces that you’ve finished. Live on little island looking good. Wow I hope that no one was hurt from that huge tree that fell in your neighborhood. Where I lived in Jax when I lived there our power cables were buried.. Have a great week.
My daughter’s neighborhood also has the cables buried. I live in an older area though so ours are not. No one was hurt though, so that’s was a good thing!!!
Carol your finished are beautiful. Stop saying they’re not!!! Your stitching is always amazing. I love his eye on the sparrow. There are so many animal motifs. I love your videos too. ❤
Thank you!! We are always our own worst critic. At least I am!!!
The heat is here in Michigan too Carol. Love, love, love your finishings and all your stitching!! I look forward to seeing you again soon. Happy stitching, and stay cool❤
Thank you so much!
Love all patriotic, I stitch it all year and add some Christmas along the way. Great finishing ideas, thanks 🪡🧵
absolutely everything you show is beautiful. I also enjoy your story very much. Happy Stitching. ❤️🌻👍🏼
Thanks so much!
Hi Carol New Yorks weather is no picnic 😅😅 I always love your videos! And I want you to know that I ordered Hannah’s Brownstone, I bought mine from Everything Cross Stitch but 123Stitch carries it as well. So thank you for the enabling 😂 thank for another amazing video ♥️

Oh boy Carol you are getting things done, and you are moving right along!! So good to see you again!!😘
Thank you for sharing all your beautiful projects. I love all the Patriotic finishes you have. So glad you weren't harmed in the tornado.
Thank you so much!
I’m always happy to see a new video from you ❤ I also stitch borders first for the same exact reason. Thanks for sharing everything! Looking forward to Mr. Saltbox’s new channel. 👍
I love that your finishes have to age…like a fine wine, before they are fully finished. lol. That’s just perfect!!
Thank you for another beautiful floss tube video Carol. The weather here in the UK is awful, we’re basically not having any summer at all. Stitching and Floss Tubing keeps me going. I love all your projects and your stitching and finishing is awesome. Obviously you’re a great enabler helping me adding to my stash😂 💐
Thank you! Bad weather is a great time to stay home and stitch!!! That’s my plan!
I loved all of your patriotic stitches and finishes! Patriotic stitching is my favorite! 🇺🇸
Oh thank you!
Hot and Sunny here in Alberta Canada, love your stitching and I always look forward to a new video from you.
Thank you so much!
Love everything you stitch….enjoy the heat, it’s sure nice having to wear a coat, lol! Wow you were blessed tornado passed by you. Keep stitching!
