Another newbie checking in 
My name is Laura, I'm 46, getting married (for the 2nd time) in 8 weeks! I've just got back into stitching after a pretty long slump, and went back to the old stitching forums I used to visit, only to find they've all gone very quiet 
I used to visit CrossStitch Pals and Cross Stitch Corner, amongst others. I don't really have any favourite designers at present, having just started stitching again, I'm having a look around to see what's new. I'm currently stitching a Derwentwater Designs kit called Cumbrian Village, one of my many UFO's I've picked up and started again. I used to prefer linen or evenweave to aida, but my eyesight's worse now than it used to be, so not sure how I'll get on with. Hoping to make lots of new stitching friends here

Welcome. Congrats on the upcoming wedding. I, too, was a regular on a few boards and dropped them for a long while. I'm glad I found this one when I decided to return. In the past month, I've found great people, variety and very high quality work here. Enjoy!

Thanks so much for the welcomes everybody 
You know how some boards you visit and feel like an outsider trying to get in, and some you just feel at home in right away? Well, guess which category this one falls into for me Woohoo!!
