Hello in France!

When I was living in France I thought the cross stitching materials...threads etc were much more expensive than in England!

Hello & welcome from an English Grandmother living just north of Toulouse in SW France.
I buy my fabrics and threads in the UK as they are trop cher here!
Where in France do you live?

Bonjour et bienvenu. :wave: I like your pseudonyn, does that mean you play petanque?

My late wife and I played all over the continent and liked France very much. We were often challenged to play by Frenchmen whilst on holiday and very often won. We were County standard players in England by the way.

Hello and welcome to the forum. :wavesback: I've got a Lanarte design that my parents bought me for Christmas about 2 years ago but I haven't got round to starting it yet.

I'm sure that you'll enjoy taking part in this forum.
