the Saltbox Stitcher [Episode 105] "Thanksgiving on the way to Christmas'

Wow ! It's almost Thanksgiving and now we're on the way to Christmas 2023 ! I finally completely framed a few of my own stitching ... And I continue my craziness of more new starts, see my kitted and ready to go ! And of course see my progress on current WIPS as well as even more finished stitching in need of framing. Oh Yes, and more about my upcoming Quilt Sale ...
Love ya :-) Carol

    I was saddened to hear that someone was leaving nasty notes to your videos. Two years ago when I found flosstube I broke an ankle and was unable to walk for 7 weeks! If it weren't for you and other wonderful flosstubers I would have lost my marbles! Your work is beautiful and it is such a relief to know that other stitchers have lots of wips. Thank you so very, very much for your videos.

I do worry when she speaks about nursing homes. Carol is obviously sharp as a tack and enjoying friends, travel, and life! I think she's everyone's favorite stitcher! I pray Carol can know that there a great things coming to look forward to and she needs to wait for it! No giving up!❤❤🙏🙏

    Carol, you and Olivia (Pumpkin Hollow Quilts) are the only FTs I watch. I have jettisoned everyone else. Why? You are both REAL, and are true stitchers. I stitch in hand as well, and I am not one to have 25 projects going at a time, or stitch rotation of multiple projects....but that is my personal preference. Ignore the troll. There are some miserable people who most likely are jealous of your wild productivity! You are a jewel. I thoroughly enjoy your postings. I hope you and your family have a very blessed Thanksgiving.

    Being a scientist too, I just have to giggle every time Professor Saltbox appears in the background. I have known so many people just like him it's like being among old friends. I never taught outside of grad school, instead going into research and then industry before I retired. I have so many charts on my wish list because of your enabling and added a new one today. The BBD Christmas sampler you showed caused me to pause and go in search of it. It's "The Bells on Christmas Day" in the booklet of that name!

As a former professional framer, I know it's not easy to keep everything straight. You did a great job! I look forward to seeing your progress in your next video. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. You are so right when you mentioned how important it is to be grateful. We are so fortunate next to so many people in the world. Every time I start to complain about some insignificant thing, I try to remember how fortunate I am. Hope to see you soon!

I started stitching again after being away from it for probably 20 years. I am blown away how much is out there now. I love what you do. Your taste is like mine. Eye on the sparrow is amazing! Please don’t pay attention to the idiots out there making nasty comments! They are just jealous! Thanks. Sue Chavanne

    Hi Carol - your framing is great - keep going. I lace and pin - the pins are for the tweaking. Look at thrift shops they have great, inexpensive frames as well. Have just been cutting paper templates in either 36 or 40 count design size so I can take them with me and put the paper on the frame to see if it fits. Have saved a fortune doing this.

    Hello Carol! I watch all your floss tube videos, but this is the first time I have ever commented. I have cross stitched off and on since the 80’s, but became obsessed with knitting, cooking and gardening while working and raising our family, so had little time for other hobbies. I returned to cross stitch briefly in 2014 while recovering from a big surgery, but set my stitching down again after returning to work. I so wish I had discovered floss tube back then! The CS fire was lit in January, discovered FT, and have not looked back! I am amazed and humbled by your stitching productivity! Your stitching is lovely. Thank you for sharing your talents with us!

    Your analogy of starting a border is like getting acquainted with someone new is a perfect description. You put into words what I feel about starting a new piece. I don't necessarily start with a border but it seems to take some time to get familiar with the way the chart is printed, how the colors look on the fabric, how the fabric feels, etc. It takes me a little while to get comfortable. I also loved your comments about how much you can stitch before the Lord calls us home. Being older, I feel the same way. I started stitching about two years ago and wonder how fast I can stitch ALL THE THINGS! Happy Thanksgiving and blessings to you and yours.

    Carol, I LOVE your haircut! You are such a beautiful, Happy Queen within your kingdom! Sorry you have an ugly troll, it amazes me how some choose to spend their time, trying to make other folks uncomfortable, what a waste of precious time. I think your Hawk Run Village is beautiful & the trees look amazing. I know what you mean about starting huge projects at our age; I find myself looking at all my "want to starts" while deciding which ones I really want to spend my time on because I know there are many that will be left behind. I just wish we all could have used that mindset when we were 20 instead of now when we are 70ish! I loved seeing your new starts & have several of those on my Radar for this Christmas season. Have a Blessed Thanksgiving with your family and know that you are on my Gratitude List as I count my many blessings this year! xoxo

    Hi Carol. So much beautiful stitching and inspiration! I can't wait to start "And Heaven and Nature Sing next week, probably on Wednesday since Thanksgiving Day is always so busy. I'm also stitching His Eye is on the Sparrow and seeing your progress inspired me to pull mine out again and dedicate it as a Sunday Stitch. Hopefully that will let me see some progress:) Thanks for another great video. I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

    Hello Carol! Thank you for another lovely flosstube. I like your new haircut! I always listen to your opinion and now I use to border complete my wips, before moving to all the motifs inside. When I didn't, I regretted it, because my border didn't meet. Yesterday evening I was sititching the border of the Winter Sampler by Crocette a Go Go and I was thinking about it as my first date with the sampler. Of course we do personalize our wips! We don't have Thanksgiving here in Italy, so we do celebrate August 15th, All Souls and then we move to Christmas! I wish a Happy Thanksgiving and many hours of Happy Stitching!

    Well, I don’t know who is posting those horrible negative comments but I just want to say that you are my most favorite floss tuber. There are many others that I like a lot but you are my favorite. I will sit there if I’m doing stuff in the house and will sometimes just listen to you in the background because I just love your personality, I was on a trip recently and couldn’t really get much on the TV and I really wasn’t watching TV anyway so I had you on in the background. I’m single and alone so I always like to have something playing in the background. Anyway, keep up the good work and once again, I love your work and these are my favorite podcasts😀

Anyhow please continue, so I can sit, stitch, rewind, watch, watch it again, admire and make some crosses myself. Lots of appreciation from The Netherlands !

    I so look forward to your videos. You show just the right mix of WIPs, finishes, kitted projects & charts -in-waiting. I vote for framing the Christmas in My Heart finish; it's beautiful! In fact I love it so much that you have inspired (not enabled) me to purchase the kit. Your explanation as to why you complete the borders on samplers first made perfect sense to me. Although I have cross stitched off and on for years I had not really stitched samplers. I have recently started 2 samplers and will try completing the borders first. Thanks again for sharing your time and expertise. Happy 🦃

Ohhh - I want to stitch that BBD giant strawberry, but it just never comes to the top of my list. 🤦‍♀️ Delete and block those trolls, Carol - nobody needs that negativity. 🤪 Wow - The Eye is on the Sparrow is just amazing. Your BBD Christmas kitted pieces are lovely - last year I started 10 Christmas stitches in December - 6 of them are BBD and I hope to start working on them again after Thanksgiving. Sending you and Prof. Saltbox a happy and blessed Thanksgiving. 🤗 ❤️

I have Martha Jefferson and it was a special spring offering from Country Sampler. I've seen it finished and it's wonderful; I have to get back to that one!

    Hi Carol! I think you should just frame all your finished pieces you showed us then you won’t have to worry about them anymore!! Don’t you wish you could? That would be so nice if we could all afford to get all our framing done! Mr Saltbox sounds like he has the same yucky cold I have ☹️. I woke up yesterday morning with a horrible sinus infection and now I have a cough. Such a waste of time. My head hurts so bad I can’t stitch! But I’m sure I will live to stitch another day. Hope you don’t catch it! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and happy stitching til next time!!! 🦃🍽😁✂️✂️✂️🪡🧵🪡🤎💛🧡
