Good morning

Hello,

I am Maddie, live in the UK & although I have done crafts most of my life I did not do cross stitch until a few years ago. Now I am really hooked on it. I do whatever appeals to me but like colourful projects. But must add the dark ones on here are tremendous, so beautifully worked.

Love going round charity shops to see what I can find. Most times nothing but occasionally find something really good. My latest find was a crewel work on a frame. A 1999 Jacobean design bell pull & also with it a very small kit of acorns & leaves with gold thread to be worked up the stems. I have seen the lady on here working with gold & that is astounding work -mine will not be that good of course as I have not done any crewel work for many years. I don't know when I will get round to doing that but am glad I found it.

At present kitting up 3 charts I want to do in future.

Thank you.

Maddie

Hi Maddie and welcome to the forum from South Carolina! Sounds like you are planning on some fun and lovely projects to work on in the future.
I hope that you will stick around so we will be able to see and admire them. We love pictures! Looking forward to getting to know you.

Hi Maddie,

Welcome from the UK.

I also like colourful designs. I mostly get them online but will keep an eye out in the thrift/charity shops in future.

Hi Maddie.
Colour is good. Brightens up life on dull days
May your needle be filled in the rainbow...

Welcome to the forum from deepest, darkest Kent.

Sounds as if you have a fair bit on your hands with those projects you're kitting up. Have fun with them & share progress photos.

All the best,

Richard.
