Hello, new member!

Post by Mummy_of_Tia »

Hello,

I decided to join this forum as I have been reading and getting tips here for a while.
I have recently started a big cross stitching project and I would like to share my progress with cross stitching lovers.
I have done little things like greeting cards etc, but this one is going to be something I can hang on the wall hopefully.

I work at a nursing home for the elderly and a lovely lady that I assist is teaching me to cross stitch. She has beautiful ones she has done hung at her bedroom walls and she was very happy to teach me some tips.

I will post in an appropriate thread my progress.

Thanks to this forum I already found some good tips like where to buy the cheapest material and so on.

:wave: Hello and welcome to the forum from South Carolina and welcome to the world of cross stitching! I think that not only have you been learning cross stitch from the lady you assist, but you have also been giving her a great deal of pleasure by having her share her love of stitching with you. I'm glad that we have already provided you with some tips and are glad to share as many with you as your want. Looking forward to getting to know you.

Hello and welcome from Yorkshire. What a lovely way to learn from one of your residents. I bet she has enjoyed sharing her skills with you. Can't wait to see what you are stitching.

Hi :wave: and Welcome from me too in sort of sunny Brisbane so glad you have de-lurked and joined us. It is always a joy to share our knowledge and to teach others the crafts we love and there is no doubt your elderly friend is delighted to share her knowledge.
Looking forward to getting to know you and to seeing your work. :lol:
