Are introductions in order?
I joined the group in October and have been posting since I discovered
this great group. I see some of you post daily and others come in when they can. I thought it might be nice for those of us who are newer to the group to get to know the rest of you. I saw another newbie on the threads the other day so I don't think I am the only one wondering who is here and such. I will start since this was my bright idea. Name: Alice I live in: Salt Lake City, Utah How long I have been stitching: Well when living in Turkey I had my DM send me some needlepoint kits since I had read every book in the library that I wanted to read. (I was with my USArmy husband and one of the few women there.) When we got back Stateside I tried a class in quilting but lasted until I made a new friend who did Danish Cross Stitch. That was 26 years ago. Been stitching ever since. Groups I belong to: EGA - I live in the Rocky Mountain Region Swan Sampler Stitchers (home nest is in Salt Lake City but, members from all over the world.) More of possible interest: I have done some designing for EGA and Swans as well as for myself. I have entered items in our State Fair for about four years. The first entry was one of my designs based on a view of the Pacific Ocean just south of Monterey, CA and I won First place. I have entered ever since with my lowest showing a Forth place. Family: Great husband and two sons ages 25 and 23 and a soon to be daughter-in-law (as of December 29). Hope to get to know all of you. Alice |

Name: Alice I live in: Salt Lake City, Utah Alice Hi Alice I'm Margaret (Mag) I live in Beaverton, Oregon which is near Portland. I started stitching 16 years ago. I stopped for a year and half or so after my DH lost his battle with cancer in 2001. But I am back as enthusiastically as ever. I have a DS and I must say, two of the cutest GK's ever! I met one of my closest friends right here on RCTN. You just never know where it will lead and to what. Keep Stitching, mag |

Name: Michelle
nick: cocoa (actually the dog's name ) from: Minneapolis, MN I've been stitching off & on for years, started again about 4 years ago. Current favorites are blackwork & Christian/Inspirational. Also a big TW fan, although I haven't yet attempted any of her stuff. I also collect free patterns from online - I have literally thousands from newsletters, websites, newsgroups, etc. Only the legal ones though - I have no interest in the ones that violate copyrights & such! personal - married 8+ years, 2 daughters, 15 & 16, disabled veteran, 37, master's degree in Counseling Psychology.......and a dog (toy poodle) and a cat (rescued, probably at least part Maine Coon - weighs about 18 lb. & is about the size of a small cocker spaniel!) did I miss anything? --cocoa wrote in message ups.com...

Cheryl Isaak - southern New Hampshire
Married, DS age 14, DD age 8. Spend most of my winters haunting hockey rinks as both play hockey for travel teams and DS has high school tryouts next week. Stretched a tad thin as DH is ailing at the moment. Stitching - all sort of bits but really want to get back to Ladybug Gardeners. I have some knitting in the bag with me right now along with a canvas work ornament, a flower fairies card and couple of samplers. Cheryl |

I'm Frances. I turned 76 this year. Been stitching ever since my Mother decided I needed to know the "gentle arts" when I was 8 or 9. Got out of it once I hit my teens, and didn't get back to it until I was 19 or so and was bored sitting home all day. Learned to tat when I was 45. Learned macrame when I was 40. I also do needlepoint, crochet and knit. But love counted cross stitch the most. Have enough SABLE (Stash Above and Beyond Life Expectancy) to last 3 lifetimes. My 16 yr old toy poodle likes to sit beside me as I stitch. Frances |

Name: Alice Hi, Alice! Always nice to see new faces in the group. I'm Elizabeth and I've been stitching since I was about 13. I actually started being interested in it when I was about 7 or 8 or so, but at the time, my motor skills weren't up to the visions in my head so I quit in frustration. I'm 38, have a DH of 4 years, a 3-year-old daughter and an almost-1-year-old son, two cats, and a house full of DIY projects. I work at home as a medical transcriptionist, which I hope to not have to do for very many more years. I live in a suburb of Kansas City, Missouri. I entered the state fair last year (adolescent wish fulfillment) and won 2 first-place and 2 second-place ribbons. I don't knit. I can crochet, but don't like it much (though our recent conversation about Tunisian got me thinking about More Stuff To Do). I don't quilt if I can help it. I sew. I mostly do counted cross stitch with a good helping of surface work thrown in for good measure. I'm a budding handyman/carpenter, which would interest me more if I had the $$$ for the workshop. My favorite thing is to make pretty things with my hands or fix something that was broken. Again, welcome to the group! -- Elizabeth Pop the bubbles to reply. www.effervescentdesigns.com |
