Hello from Michigan

Post by AshleyO »

Hello everyone, my name is Ashley! I'm from Northern Michigan. I just started cross stitching. I am also a quilter and love to sew. I am new to cross stitching but can't wait to learn more. Here are my first 2 items. I finished them last month.

Welcome from Vancouver Island, B.C, Canada! :wavesback:

Although I did grow up in Battle Creek, Michigan until I moved to Canada with my family at age 13. I have been to upper peninsula to many times.. a place called Munising. I remembered vaguely a hiking experience at Porcupine Mts but I think it is near the Wisconsin border. U must be at Sault St. Marie if u are near the Canadian border, eh?
