Hello, I'm new here

Post by KittyZ »

Hello, I'm new. I will admit I have lurked here for about 2 years now.
I really enjoy the stitch along section seeing what everyone is working on.
You all are great with the encouraging comments to keep everyone stitching.
You even helped motivate me to finish a Disney UFO that I had for over 20 years!
Since I finished that project, I have been stitching more smaller items from my stash.
I love animals, especially cats since I have two, many of my stitching projects have cats in them.

I look forward to making some new stitching friends here.
I'm off to comment in the stitch along section now, I think I have the answer to a mystery there! :D

:wave: Hello KittyZ and welcome to the forum from South Carolina! It’s so good to meet you. We have a lot of “lurkers” and love when one joins us. The encouragement and motivation we give each other is so helpful as you have seen. I hope you will post pictures of your stitching. We love photos.
I’m looking forward to seeing them and getting to know you.

Hello from Colorado and welcome to the forum. I’m glad you’ve come out of lurker status as we really are a pretty nice bunch of men and women (with many cat lovers) and it’s a refreshingly drama free place to escape to. I hope you’ll share your projects with us.

Thank you all for the nice welcome! :wave:
I will see if I have time this weekend to post some photos.
I found a nice thread that Carole posted about posting photos using postimage. Is that the one most of you use here?
Years ago I used Photobucket but they changed the way they do things.

A lot of us used photobucket until it was no longer free. And I think it was Mabel who found photos age, but I’m not sure. Anyway, there are other sites available,but so far, I’m pleased with this one and hope that they continue to have the free option for a long time.

This is a cross stitch I just finished last month. I am also finishing up a few small ornaments that I will post photos of later.

Your test photo worked perfectly as did the piece you used for testing. I love it. And the only issue my Rosey has with it is Cats know being a Cat is probably lots better than being human.
