Hi,
I have been cross stitching for about 25 years. I stitch lots of gifts for family and friends, and myself. I live in South Dakota and I wish our weather would warm up. Happy Mother's day to all the Moms out there. JoAnne :)

Welcome to the forum, Joanne, and hello from Colorado, where snow is in the forecast for Mother's Day. (Our last snow last year was on Mother's Day, so it's not unusual.)

What kind(s) of designs do you like to stitch?

Hi JoAnne :wave: and Welcome to the forum its great you have found us. Happy Mothers Day to you from sunny but chilly Brisbane.
It was 9.4c this morning at 6.45am but is warming rapidly and now around 11c. Wish I could send it over to you but we need it to warm us up - definitely not used to mornings this cold up here in the sub tropics.

Sounds like you love to keep busy with lots of stitching. Looking forward to seeing your work.

Debby, that sounds cold for sure - but oh what a lovely present it would be for me to have snow on Mothers Day.

Thanks for all the welcomes. I use to do lots of Round Robins but then I couldn't get my own projects done. I do lots of wedding, anniversary, baby, confirmation and graduation samplers. I did the Nativity scene and now I am working on the Last Supper.
We are getting lots of rain today which is good at least it is not snow, we need the moisture. JoAnne [GRANNYJO]
