    Have you ever been asked “if you could sit and talk with anyone, who would it be?” Well Carol, hands down it would be you. To spend an afternoon talking with and learning from you, would be a dream come true. Your talent and your knowledge just blow me away.

Your primitive style and beautiful stitching and finishing, your expertise and suggestions combined with your banter make for a video I always look forward to. And I think you should make YOUR videos just as long or as short as YOU want then to be!!!!!

    Hi Carol and to all your stitchy friends. Thank YOU for spending an hour with us all, it is so much appreciated. So inspiring to see your beautiful work regardless of the state of being finished or just started. How great is it to have your upcoming trip to look forward to. I could say that a lot of us is just a little bit jealous(in a good way). Hoping you safe travels and have a wonderful time with family. Now for the 64K question. What is a portrait... a painting, drawing, photograph, or engraving of a person, especially one depicting only the face or head and shoulders. Look forward to the next time we get to see you. Happy stitching! Pamela A/PA (also a special thank you to Prof Saltbox)

Most look small and would be a quick stitch & memory of the event. This patriotic stitching season will be fun! Have fun with your sister.

I'm not as "hepped up" about houses as some...and I don't think I've made *any* sampler as large as those on which you've worked (at least, not yet) -- so you have my complete admiration for doing THAT HOUSE!

    Thanks for an Awesome flosstube. You are correct, no lnd shops in Georgia, so I watch flosstube to see what's out there and then have to order online. I like under an hour time limit. 😊 Have a safe trip!!❤

    I love so much of what you stitch and even have some of the patterns and a few that I've finished as well!!!! Keep all the "whatever" parades going, I love them. I have finally convinced myself that any Plum Street is going to take much longer than I think - I love every one of them but for me they just aren't quick stitches!

I wonder how many you could complete, it would be very interesting. Thanks to Mr Saltbox for his wonderful contributions to your Chanel.

    Carol: as a retired librarian often called on for copyright questions, if you both own a copy of a chart/pattern/etc, it is permissible to make a working copy of the chart which will give you the best quality to work from (especially if one is damaged, smeared print, etc). You won’t remember me but we met at Quilter’s Station two years ago. I love watching your videos, wishing I could just sit and visit with you while stitching.

    Carol you are always a treat. The blue linen blouse you wore in this video is very becoming and it looks so cool, springlike. You are right about stitchers who do not have a local shop. I live outside a small town and Hobby Lobby is about an hour away. So watching flosstubes allows me to see pieces in progress or finished that I don’t know about and might want to order from one of the online shops. Just looking at your walls is so inspirational. Thank you for showing them in each video. Does your sister stitch as much as you do? What fun to have a sister who stitches too. Take care. Carol in Texas

I don't have a group to stitch with nor a shop within 4 hours of where I live, so everything is done online - shopping and zoom sessions with others. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to share. ❤

    I’m stuck on ‘Blueskin’! This is my first project back after not doing cross stitch for a number of years and I think it wasn’t the best choice. The horse is difficult and I’m lost in it with all the whites and creams- plus counting on linen. I saw a finished version at my needle work store here in Vegas and it’s gorgeous! You’ve inspired me to take a deep breath and go back to it with all your great patriotic pieces. I don’t know how you churn out so many beautiful pieces, but I am grateful to be able to see them! 🇺🇸💙❤🤍
