Hello from Chicago

Post by sleepyhollow »

Hello, I'm Erica from a suburb of Chicago, IL. I'm 35 and have been stitching since I was about 18. I love working on all things halloween-y the most and also like to work with beads such as Mill Hill kits and Mirabilia. :D

Welcome from the West of Scotland. :wave: Chicago is practically my home town, although I've lived here longer than I lived there. Can I ask, which 'burb? Anyway, glad you found the forum.
