Hello & Welcome
Hi Pink Panther,
I hope you are well!
It is nice to meet and welcome you to this new forum. I am always around and it is nice to be in at the off when a new forum begins.
I look forward to chatting with you soon. I am disabled and do not get out much so all friends are welcome.
Obviously I have a lot of time on my hands to do a lot of stitching and hopefully a lot more talking and meeting people.
Write a few more lines if you get time and let us know your Cross stitch accomplishments, favourites.......etc.
Hope you have had a great weekend.
Take care
Courtney

Hi
Hi girls, welcome Pink Panther!
My friend is interested in Harleys but I haven't seen any kits anywhere, did you buy a kit or chart, if so where can I get one?
Cheers
Maggie (razzamatazz)

Morning ladies,
Well, I definately stand by my words, we need a chat room.
How were your weekends? Mine was quiet. I have to take shed loads of meds and sometimes sleep for a day or two at a time, so Friday & Saturday I slept and yesterday I just stitched a little and chilled.
I am single and have been for at least 6 yrs or so, no children and have been stitching for about 20yrs. I love to stitch anything with a bit of class. I love Lavender & Lace and a few of the Mirabilia charts.
My last challenge was Celtic Christmas. I actually completed it in 1 month apart from the beads, now it is 12 months on and I still have the beads to complete.
I do love the WTP and other Disney characters and have a great friend whos daughter is a lover of tigger. I suppose not having children myself has kept me away from the cute kits. Although I do have to admit I do have a framed WTP which was stitched by another friend I met on eBay.
This is really great and it is really nice to meet more people with similar interests.
Blimey, a Harley. Do you ride one then? I like bikes but sports bikes are more to my liking. I have to agree that Harleys are beautiful beasts to look at but they also look very heavy. Are they difficult to ride? I assume you ride as you said you were doing it for yourself.
My next cross stitch challenge is going to be a design of my own. I have drawn a lady from the art deco era with the relevant arty background. All I need to do now is get the colours right and put it into form. Of course, there is always that chance that something else will catch my eye in the meantime.
What type of Classic cars have you stitched and where does the interest come from?
Well ladies, I have a little work to be getting on with so hope to catch up with you all again very soon to find out more!
Bye for now & Have a Great Day

Just thought I'd say hi, too. Not quite sure what I'm doing, as experience with this sort of thing is pretty limited so hope I don't offend by accident!
A broadly-based stitching forum would be great. I used to belong to a small local group of pals who would get together to stitch and solve the world's problems (as you do), but everyone is too busy now (kids in exams, too much work, the usual).
Love cross stitch and hardanger, hope someday to pluck up the courage to try pulled work and do a bit of designing. Have ideas, but not a clue as to how to start...

Hi Serinde
Hi Serinde,
Welcome to crossstitchforum.com nice to have you on board.
Do not for 1 second worry about what you are doing. Just chat away and we will be here to chat back.
I am sure you will be pleased with the response from alex for avatars etc..... I would just like to add that as yet and as you can see we are a small community so far but have no doubt we will soon be thriving with activity. Not just chat but many other activities which will be a benefit to many users.
Lots of freebies and enough information to give everyone a different insight into all dimensions of the sewing world.
Obviously eBay is a forum for cross stitch & all types of thread work. Keep watching this space though as I do know that there will be more information with reference to your queries so far
I am a cross stitch designer too, more about that another day! I did mention, I am disabled and have plenty of time on my hands to provide useful information when needed and if I do not have an answer, I will always find one.
Once again welcome and I hope you stay on board. I am sure you will enjoy this forum and what is to come, along with making many new friends.
Have a good evening one & all.

Hi Sue,
You did make me laugh with this little post.
Glad you found it though. I hope you are enjoying the forum. We are trying to get things going.......Forgive us if we seem to be a little slow. Alex, who is our Web Designer also has 101 other things to do but that does not mean he will be skimping on his responsibility to our site.
The competition will be showing shortly, by Monday at the latest. We have one of the designers finishing the finer details. There is a lot of work involved in designing new pages, it is amazing all the things they need to do.
Anyway, all of you that have registered and started to post are already entered into the competition. I have seen a preview of it and I think you will all be impressed. I certainly am.
Well, I had better go to check out the other posts.
Catch you all later

Morning
Morning ladies,
Sorry for my absence over the last few days. I have not been too well.

I am sure you will have a great time with us all.
Thanks Serinde for welcoming our new guests
