Hello everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself quickly before I forget!

Not much to tell really. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada, in a teeny tiny town... I have been x-stitching since I was about 12 when my older sister bought me a little sampler from the dollar store. I have stitched about 10 patterns, given them all as gifts except one! Someday I will do one for ME, lol! My DH and I are currently expecting our first child, so I will soon be starting a project for that (after I finish the birth sampler for my sister, haha!).

Welcome to our forum from another Canadian. I am in Ontario and have been stitching for many years and I still give most of my stuff away. I think we are all guilty of that.
This is a great group of stitchers and I am sure you will enjoy your visits.
Put some pics in the gallery of your stuff, we love to see what everyone is stitching.,

A big welcome from the east of England, formerly from Missouri.

And an even bigger congrats on your expected bundle of joy!

Look forward to hearing more from you.

Welcome from the very wet West of Scotland. So glad you found us. All I know about that part of the world is that it gave us Joni Mitchell, which gives you lots of brownie points!

Thank you for the welcome everyone! I think this will be a good spot to keep me motivated! I need to start a S-A-L thread so you can all kick my butt and get me going on the xstitch for my sister.

Oh, and thank you all for your congrats on the baby! We are very excited! We are due on January 30, but I have a feeling it will be a February baby like its daddy

. We have decided not to find out what we are having... we want a surprise! I will be stitching something general for this little one, but have yet to decide what it will be!

Welcome to the forum. I have been off for a while racing. It is good to see another newbie and I hope that you are able to come often and to find lots of advise and motivation.

Congrats on the baby I remember when we first learned we were going to have a little one. It is going to be loads of fun and loads of work. Both my babies are adults but the are still loads of work.

Welcome from me too. Glad to meet you. I stitch many years. I like to make picture like a present, but many of them I use to decorate my apartment.
