New Cross Stitcher from Portugal

Post by Stitchland »

Hey Cross stitchers,

My name is Catarina and i am from Portugal. I am very passionate about cross stitch and recently I have been trying to take it a bit more seriously.

Finally I found a huge forum like yours and will sure evolve and participate in the community.

Thanks

Hi Carole,

Thanks for the warm welcome! Actually I am trying to improve my designs and make some unique pieces. Until now I was running some images through a Cross stitch pattern maker. I have recently turned into pop art and will try to put it into cross stitch.

Here is an example of a present I made for my boyfriend:

Ola Catarina! I live in the US but my parents (and whole family, really) immigrated here from Portugal just a couple of years before I was born. I still have a ton of family over there and love visiting. It's been a few years since I was last there and I'm missing it so much! We are Transmontanos, from aldeas near Chaves. I just joined this forum today so I'm new too! Bem vinda!
