Hi I am new to this site but have been cross stitching since I about 15, I did other crafts before this it runs in the family. I don't really post on forums but it would be nice to have some friends with the same interests as me. I currently live in Germany just got here in November. My husbands in the Air Force, I'm from Colorado, no kids just me the husband and two cats. I have finished 3 Mirabeilia's and I am on my fourth which I making for my grandmother. I just got the pattern for HAED's Nene Thomas's The Lover's so I can try my hand at one of those.

Hi and welcome from Brisbane Australia.
It must be hard to be away from home and family in a strange country. I am sure that your stitching is a help to you over these times.
Quite a few on here love doing HAED's so you will be in good company.

Hello and welcome from Newcastle in Australia. I am stitching a HAED project at the moment and will probably do a second one for another grandson. They are very challenging but then I like a challenge in my stitching. Look forward to seeing what you are doing.

that must have been a challenge moving him so far... had to move mine twice (about 3 miles so not far at all) and he nearly killed the car

Hello and welcome from South Carolina. I'm looking forward to seeing your work. I got introduced to HAED designs through this forum and love them. Also love Mirabelias. You definitely have found designers that will keep you occupied.

Welcome =)
Another one from Germany, I can't believe it

We seem to be rare (maybe because stitching is a rare hobby in Germany....) Where in Germany do you live? I'm from Bochum, which is in Northrhine-Westfahlia
