Hi everybody,
Don't know if you remember me, but I haven't been on for a long, long time. I've been knitting - taught myself to knit socks - and learned to crochet, so haven't done any cross-stitching for ages. Our new grandchild is due in a couple of weeks, so I've been knitting/crocheting for him/her, but have now got my threads out again to begin a birth sampler. It's from the Historical Sampler Company and I'm really looking forward to starting it. Hope that everybody is well and it's good to be back!

Re: Hello from an oldie!
Hello everybody, how lovely to hear from so many people.
This is the sampler, Mabel.
http://www.historicalsamplercompany.co. ... =30&page=1" target="_blank
I'll put the baby's name and date of birth in later, obviously.
I'm using 16ct aida and I can't get over how small the squares are! Have my eyes got so much worse over the past year? I wondered whether to go for 32ct linen and am pleased now that I decided not to.
