Hi All

Post by maria74 »

I have just joined this forum - Hello..

I use to do the Country Companions Cross Stitch when I was in my teens - 30 odd years ago now!
Due to some life changes have recently picked up some Cross Stitch magazines which have got the stitching juices going!

I do enjoy the mini kits, as I can complete them pretty quick and see I've actually done something!

Any good, reasonable website links for kits and accessories will be gratefully received.

:wave: Hello Maria and welcome to the forum from South Carolina! and welcome back to Cross Stitching! There are tons of online websites and a lot more kits (big and small) available now than 30 years ago. A lot depends on where you live. A good place to start if you are in the US is 123 Stitch. In Europe or the UK Sew and So would be worth looking into. I'm not sure which is best if you are from Australia or New Zealand or one of the many other countries represented here in the forum. I hope that you will stay with us, post pictures and let us encourage you now that you have relit the stitching urge.

Hi Maria :wave: and Welcome from me too in sunny Brisbane it is so lovely to read about another person returning to cross stitch.

I see Carole has beaten me by telling you of the 2 web sites I used to frequent - I keep trying to down size but they all kept tempting me with displays of lovely new kits. :lol:

:wave: Hello and welcome from SW France. 8)

I buy on line from here. I like to search for good deals, but there's nothing like actually touching and feeling the stuff is there?
