Beautiful memorial to Jennifer. Yes cancer did not win she is no longer in pain. My brother who was 53 died last December after fighting with cancer for 2 years, he left behind 3 children ages 11, 12, 13. I have vowed that I will talk about my brother so he is remembered. My grand father died before any of his grandchildren were born. My mom nor my aunt could talk about him without crying, now we know very little about him.

Great flosstube. Your trip sounds incredible. Your shares are so inspiring. It's always a joy spending time with you.

Always great watching your flosstube.

That was a great flosstube. Yes, so sad about Jennifer ❤ Glad to hear, (Professor ) Mr Saltbox is getting his own flosstube! Take care, happy 4th of July 🎆

I love watching FlossTube… I don’t have a local Needlework Shop so I enjoy seeing what is out there… I feel like I have a whole new set of friends…I can’t believe how CCS has changed over the years… I’m an old long time stitcher!!😊

Another wonderful video, thank you for sharing. I love all the patriotic. Glad you had such a wonderful time at the retreat

It just never fails to thrill me when I see that you have posted a video, Carol! It sounds like you had an amazing time with your sister and at Country Sampler. Love your finishes and seeing what you are working on and hope to work on! What a beautiful tribute to your friend. I am so sorry for you and all her friends and family. Thanks as always, Carol and happy stitching.

I love watching you Carol! I am trying to watch from the beginning! I love your smalls!

Enjoyed every minute of this.Thanks for continuing to share with us. Yes the ending was a 💔. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 for her family.

I always look forward to all of your videos and all that you show and have to talk about! I am sorry for you and for the friends of your friend who has died. Far too young. I hope that her family are finding comfort.

So glad you’re back and what a wonderful time you had. As always it’s such a joy to see your projects. Thank you for another fantastic flosstube video, please never stop 💐 ❤

I'm tending not to pick symetrical samplers. I like when there is a a variety of motifs and not just a copy of the one side to the other even if they are beautiful!

So good to see you again,Congratulations to Camille, she is adorable, it sounds like you had an amazing time with your sister and at retreat, I like small stitching as well as large items. Thank you for sharing your Patriotic finish’s, I am looking forward to seeing your progress on your new starts, i have been stitching many of Birgits designs, love her designs. So many lovely items from the teachers, all your gifts from the other attendees are wonderful,stitchers are so generous. Love all your new stash, the fabric is my favorite of all your new stash, thank you for sharing your stitching with us, oh my gosh love the Patriotic quilt , so lovely. I agree she won she had suffered so much, pain free and in our Lords arms.

Beautiful video! It was so nice to meet you and your sister ❤ And yes, Meg (Ginnie Thompson's daughter) and her husband Steve are running the Flower thread company - alongside their day jobs!! Loved al the beautiful treasures you shared today. I need more time!!!

Welcome back Carol. Wow, live on Little is a big piece. It will be beautiful when done. I also like Little Moon. Are the flowers poppies? I also have done the red, white and bloom. I ordered that when you showed it on a previous video. They have yet to be fully finished. Crossing my fingers to do that when I return home. I have been working on a piece called strawberry salt box, a small chart by Pinker and Punkin Quilting. Keep on keeping busy. My aim one day is to own a wall hanging quilt done by you. Thanks for the video.

Carol, first my heartfelt sympathies to all regarding the loss of your dear and beautiful friend. May she rest in eternal peace. Now for some fun: a great video! So happy you are back from your adventures! I laughed because Brenda from Brenda and the Serial Starter was telling us on their Floss Tube how fun it was getting that much loved Lakeside Linens! It's fun being short! I am too! Your projects are so beautiful! It's always inspiring to watch your videos and they bring me such happiness. My husband is happy such simple pleasures bring me so much joy! I have been quilting a bit in the late mornings and then I switch to cross stitch. It's the only way to get these "oh so many" projects done. Nonetheless, boredom is not in our vocabulary! Can't wait for your next video! Enjoy your stitching and quilting! Oh... Carol, do you use a hoop or stitch in hand? Just wondering. Thank you for making me happier than I already am😃💕✂️✂️✂️

Thanks for sharing your gorgeous work and the information about Zweigart.

Great video. What wonderful goodies you received at the CS retreat. It sounds like a great time with friends. Prayers for Jennifer's family. Marilyn

Love your channel. In case someone hasn't beaten me to it, zweigert linen salvage is different to signify the count it is. Thanks for sharing all your stitching!

So beautiful Carol. Beautiful tribute. 🌷🌺❤️💕

Wonderful episode. So good to see you back again. I send my condolences on the loss of your friend

Great to "visit" with you today. Enjoyed hearing about your adventures with your sister and the retreat. So glad you had a great time. I finally finished stitching Lady Liberty and FFO'd her last Friday. Started Happy Birthday America and hope to finish it soon. Such a nice tribute to your friend. Take care and Happy Stitching!

You really make me want to start a Hawk Run Hallow piece and His Eye is on the Sparrow!

So enjoyed your video and all your beautiful pieces. Absolutely love the flag quilt you are making. Can’t wait to see it finished. Happy you have you back! Love your videos so much ❤❤❤

Fab video as always 😊 I finished the Star a Day quilt a couple of yrs ago, spoiler alert ,I didn’t make it in the yr 🙄😂 It was a great travel piece I put a stars worth of pieces in a hard glasses case with needle and scissors anytime we went out.

Carol, when you mentioned flower thread you made me think of a project I did many years ago, by request, for my sister. It was a twelve panel afghan that used every color of flower thread. They were starting to discontinue the thread and I had a hard time finding all the colors in the days before the internet. The last one was a 0:07 red that I searched and searched for. It turned out to be used only in the final panel for literally three stitches! Thanks for another enjoyable stitchy visit.

Coucou Carole I please to meet you I am french i leave in thé North of France and i love your Stitch I love to do that So sorry for m'y english i am not at the top Thanks a lot for your vidéo A bientôt Anne

Thank you Carol for a wonderful inspirational video. I always enjoy seeing your beautiful stitching. Thanks again for sharing. ❤

Wonderful flosstube. So sorry about your friend. ❤

Enjoyed my time with you and Mr. Saltbox…Carol… you are a classic! Beautiful stories, beautiful stitchings and a beautiful tribute to a wonderful friend… Blessing’s to you.

Wonderful as always, Carol. ❤

So glad you had such a wonderful trip, Carol! Hope you get some rest and good stitching in soon.

Eat the cookie ❤

Hello Carol…always a fun visit with you Carol, thank you for sharing all your beautiful pieces with us. So glad you and your sister had a fun time. Prayers for Jennifer’s family. So sorry. (P. S. I’m “fluffy” too!)

Funny, my youngest son told me the same thing, "No Mom you are fluffy". Dear Hearts of ours. 🤩

Thanks for sharing all your haul! It was great. I just live 2 hours away from Spring Green, WI, and 1.5 hour from the Woolen Needle. My girlfriend and had took a day and went to Woolen Needle in Williamsburg about 2 months ago.

Carol - Welcome back! So happy to see when you posted a new video to share your trip and all the goodies you were able to bring home. It sounds like you had a wonderful time with family, shopping and the retreat. Also, CONGRATS to Mr. Saltbox on his new channel. May I ask a favor - you mentioned the magnification glasses your sister was so graciously given. Can you please tell me a brand if what I could look for or if there is a shop that has them for sale? I think this would help me tremendously. I currently work on 32 ct but would love to work on 40 ct. Lastly what a beautiful tribute to your friend and fellow stitcher. It is wonderful to hear you say how much you treasure her piece of work that you have, we should all be so lucky. PS Love all your new charts! Pamela A/PA

I wear the magni clips that were given to your sister. I have purchased three pairs off Amazon and one pair from a cross stitch store. They come in several magnifications. I have different ones depending on the count I am using. I too have a long arm that is all me no statler stitcher. I use a saddle stool on wheels. Works miracles as I can go back and forth while quilting. I use an APQS longarm. Love your finishes. I try to start fall stitching in August as well. Glad you had a great time with your family.

Carol, what a sweet friend you are to all of us; your tribute to your friend was heartfelt even to those of us who never had the pleasure of knowing her. I have certainly missed seeing you these last few weeks and hope you have a wonderful summer of stitching! xoxo

❤❤❤❤

So sorry for the loss of someone so special to you.

What a lovely tribute. Sounds like an excellent retreat ❤. On the "morbid" topic of who goes first and the labeling of stitchy stuff- I bet you could set it up so that the pieces your family didn't want could be raffled or auctioned (say at Stitchcon) and the funds donated to a cause of your choice. As a stitching audience it would fetch top dollar.

Beautiful projects Glad your retreat went well and you had time with your sister . Heartfelt tribute to your friend Hope you and Mr Saltbox enjoy your 4th of July 😊

Thanks for the catch up Carol. Sending condolences to all the stitchy friends of Jennifer.

I had to laugh when you were talking about being "fluffy". We say the same thing at our house-- and I think it started in about the same way. "Fluffy" girls unite! 😂❤

I have been watching for years and had no idea you are a fellow Cyclone!!🌪❤💛❤💛❤ makes me love you even more!! I graduated in 1986, was an AGD and LOVED ISU❤

Could you ever just sit and show us what it looks like when stitch? Thank you

Very sweet friend tribute! Very special! I am a Hawkeye and I love Cyclone fans - I knew I felt a connection to you and Mr. Saltbox (with your stitching and quilting)! So glad you got to take your recent road trip with your sister! Sister are a sure treasure! How fun!!!!!! Love all your videos! Thank you!

Thanks for another great video. Love ya!

So happy to see you last night. I had so much to comment on I made myself wait… or you would have needed a table of contents 😂😂😂 I loved meeting you in person in Spring Green❤❤ tho I felt we were friends already. Flosstube is so weird. 😜 Your Red White and Bloom made me “Schoom” immediately . How did I not have this? That watering can!!! 😮 I have lots lots to say and thanks for a wonderful Flosstube. But after getting to the end ….. all I want to say is a heartfelt Thank You for all the inspiration and the chuckles and keeping me company as I stitch, and make sure you know how much you mean to so many people out here. ❤ that’s all that really matters isn’t it?
