Hi from Sunny Southend
Hi,
I'm Pat and I've been cross stitching for about 25 years. I was introduced to cross stitching at a Simply Cross Stitch home party. Anybody else remember those? I've been addicted ever since then.
I'm currently working on 2 Humphrey's Corner projects, one for my youngest grandson, Charlie, and one as a wedding sampler for his parents. His older brother, Dylan, who is 3 now, had a HC sampler so I'm keeping the tradition going.
I've also nearly finished a sampler for my middle grandson, Thomas, who was born 3 weeks before Charlie. My daughter and I have shared the cross stitching and swapped projects every few weeks, but she's left most of the backstitch to me! I just hate backstitch but once it's done it looks so much better.
As well as cross stitching I sing in a choir and play in a brass band.
That's me, so hello everybody. I look forward to being part of the forum.

Re: Hi from Sunny Southend
Hello and welcome!
What was a home cross stitching party? That sounds like fun!
How lovely that you and your daughter swap and share projects, that sounds like a great way of doing things. Shame you get the backstitching short straw though!
Great to have you join us![Dance :dance:](./images/smilies/eusa_dance.gif)
