New Cross Stitcher from Portugal

[Stitchland]

Hey Cross stitchers,

My name is Catarina and i am from Portugal. I am very passionate about cross stitch and recently I have been trying to take it a bit more seriously.

Finally I found a huge forum like yours and will sure evolve and participate in the community.

Thanks

Hello Catarina and welcome to the forum from South Carolina! You have certainly come to the right place if you are passionate about cross stitching! I hope that you will share your stitching with us through pictures. We love pictures! What types of projects do you like to stitch?

Hi Carole,

Thanks for the warm welcome! Actually I am trying to improve my designs and make some unique pieces. Until now I was running some images through a Cross stitch pattern maker. I have recently turned into pop art and will try to put it into cross stitch.

Here is an example of a present I made for my boyfriend:

Ola Catarina! I live in the US but my parents (and whole family, really) immigrated here from Portugal just a couple of years before I was born. I still have a ton of family over there and love visiting. It's been a few years since I was last there and I'm missing it so much! We are Transmontanos, from aldeas near Chaves. I just joined this forum today so I'm new too! Bem vinda!
