Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

This is an old, old thread but I thought it was a goodie! I was wondering how the forum started, whether there was a group to begin with that knew each other and it just grew or what.

Anyway back to topic, I found the forum by googling, this one was the top link, and although I did have a lurk around the others, I really liked the feel of this one, it took me about two weeks to actually join and say hello though!!

I'm soooo happy I did, I feel so at home here and feel like I've made some really good friendships, even though my initial aim was to just pump you for answers!!!

Thanks for reviving this Ekidna!

I found the link after it was covered in Cross Stitcher mag. I'm so glad I found you guys, you brighten my day!

I first found this link on the WOCS (Origin Publish. co.) site, where I'm a member. Now, I just remembered the name and came back ot it.

I joined this forum when it was covered in Cross Stitch Mag, too.

I googled cross stitch forum and here I am and everyone was so welcoming,I just had to stay

Which issue was it featured in? I think I'd quite like to read that!

I remeber when the post came up that we had gotten a mention. There was quite a lot of buzz for a bit and then it went away. I am so glad so many of the current members found us because of that article. It has improved our board with their entry.

We got a mention in - Issue 186 of Cross Stitcher magazine - out Friday 30 March. Cross Stitch Forum was one of two 'top websites for chat'.
The other site was 'Cyberstitchers', which I had never heard of.

I was just loooking around crossstitch sites when I came across this one and found everyone so friendly and inviting I stayed.

Found this forum by googling Cross Stitch Forum

rose: you've never heard of cyberstitchers? It's like a bible to some people; I always go there for conversions, tips, and the freebies.

Me too for Cross Stitcher Magazine

I think I first heard about Cyberstitchers there too and that is also on my 'daily check' list, which is getting ever longer

I'd never heard of Cyberstitchers before this thread! I'm tempted to have a look, but I already spend too much time on this forum, myspace and my hubby's West Ham forum (I'm a mod!! *puffs out chest proudly!!*) so I don't want to get too interested!!

Our Own Serinde gave me the link.
I am so happy that I found it too.

I asked for help on another craft site and ConnieO gave me this link.

I was searching the web and found it and I'm so glad i have
