Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Hi all! I've just joined the forum and am very grateful for the answers to my questions so far. My name is Lauren and I've been a sporadic cross stitcher for years. I have three beautiful girls aged 8, 6 and 4 and we live in Melbourne, Australia.

I've mainly worked from kits but am about to begin my first project on linen evenweave. You can see it here: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1647280 ... oss-stitch" target="_blank

The forum has been invaluable so far and I am busy reading old posts and absorbing all the information I can to help with this more ambitious project!

Welcome, Lauren, and hello from Colorado. I hope you feel at home here...but be prepared...there are a lot of enablers who might cause your stash to grow.

Hi Lauren and Welcome from me in sunny and warming up Brisbane. It got down to 15 overnight - rather chilly for up here.

Its great to have you along. What fabulous designs Satsuma has and so colourful - which one have you chosen to work on? They are all great.

Where in Melbourne are you? I lived in Mooroolbark (near Lilydale) for 8 years until coming up here.

Hi Debby and Sally - thanks so much! Sally, I'm doing the pattern called "Forest". More info here: http://satsumastreet.blogspot.com.au/20 ... -fall.html" target="_blank" target="_blank

It is definitely autumn here in Melbourne - cold nights and crisp mornings! So the pattern seems appropriate, now that I think of it!

Editing to add that Sally, I'm in Footscray, full of fabulous food - we're going out for yum cha (dumplings) for brunch, in fact!

Thanks for the info Lauren, enjoy your lunch sounds great.

And a belated welcome from the West of Scotland!
