Hello, I live in the UK and have been stitching (and knitting) for years and years... to the point now where I have definitely got to get myself organised. I have so many WIPs that I'm hoping I can learn something about rotation stitching from you all and, hopefully, sort myself out so that I can manage to produce some finished projects next year! I have been trying to focus on just 3 projects: Carriage House Samplings 'Houses of Hawk Run Hollow', Chatelaine Designs...

Hi,

I'm 40 year old, married to a wonderful man and mother of our two boys (3 years and 1 year).

Well, stitchingwise I think, I'm a OAATer. I'll try to get one thing done, bevor I start an other. But because life get's the way, there are some UFOs lurking in boxes, waiting to see some light - and finally get finished.
Actually, I'm stitching a freebee from Teresa Wentzler (Jeannes Love Angel) as Guardian Angel for my younger son with some color...

Hi all!

I don't know how many people are still here from a few years ago... so I figured I'd reintroduce myself now that I'm pulling out the needles again.

My name's Melissa - I usually go by Measi online. I'm a mid-30s married woman in Rhode Island, owned by six cats. I work as a secretary up in Boston, Massachusetts and have LONG train rides every day to stitch. I've been stitching...

Well I failed miserably at staying on the wagon so maybe I had better try hard to develop a good rotation to help me get rid of the bit of stash I have laying around the place.

Hello to you all. I am from Perth Western Australia. The start of my email is stashqueen so it might give you an idea of my terrible addiction. My aim every year is to start at least 50 projects but I have never aimed at finishing 50 projects. Last year was the first year I had a rotation for most of the...

Hi,

My name is Sylvie and I'm French! I used to come here a long time ago, but I stopped stitching... now I'm back and I wish to start a little pretty rotation! I'm sure you all will be helpful!
I'm happy to be part of that board!

Hi, I'm Jill. I used to come on here, but it was at least 3 years ago. I recall how friendly and helpful everyone was, and I could certainly use some encouragement to get rotating. The UFOs are piling up and I'm in danger of becoming a serial starter.
I live in the East Riding of Yorkshire which is quite rural and extremely flat. There's not a lot in the way of stitching shops round here so I use the internet a lot. I like to stitch samplers and anything country style. My...

I am so excited about this forum. I don't have any close stitchers here (anyone from or near Lutz, FL?) so I do my best on my own. I never had heard of the rotation approach although I have been stitching (off and on) for 15+ years.

I have very few finished projects but LOTS of UFOs--for all the reasons I have seen others mention (burn-out, etc.). I am very excited about the...

Hi, I am new not only to this group but, to this whole forum. WOW looks very nice in here. My name is Julie and I live in the midwest with my husband, three dogs and two African Grey Parrots. I have been stitching for almost 30 years. I have belonged to EGA in my area since 1995. I am very active in EGA as well as an avid stitcher.

Hi, everyone! I'm Sharon. I live in western NC in the mountains with a dog and a cat. I've been away from the boards for a couple of years now. My DH lost his battle with cancer in 2007, and I've needed the time just to get my life in order. I have two sons, both semi on their own. The older one is a USMC Reservist who will be activated May 1, and the younger one is a freshman at UNC Chapel Hill.

Knock!

I was invited to join up and make some noise by a friend on another forum, thought I'd pop over and say, "Hi, how are ya? Can I borrow a cup of sugar and a needle, I seem to keep losing mine..."

My name is Drea, I've crossed stitched since I was eleven and use silk and cotton threads. I've worked on aida 14 ct all the way up to 32 ct over 1. I'm a busy mother of (oh-my-gosh-he's-almost-) a 3 year-old mischief maker and a part/full time college...

HI All!!! I was searching around yuku hoping to find a site that does different kinds of stitchery, and I am so glad I found one. I love doing all forms of crocheting. I also found a very old form of lace making, and just fell in love with it also. I hope you don't mind me mentioning it, but it is called Bobbin Lace or Lace Making. About 4 years ago I accidentally while searching, fell upon a site with the Bobbin Lace, and I saw how they make the pillows, so I made my...

Hi everyone - that is what the title of this post says - in Swedish

I've been a member of this board since May '05 but haven't posted very much - for almost two years I didn't make one single post nor did I make one single...

Rejoining

I've been MIA for about a year (health problems) and am planning on picking up my cross-stitching again. Great to be back! I have several Theresa Wentzler (including Egyptian) as well as other designers. Will have to reset up my rotation to get those done. Anyway, I love the new set up, but it will take me a bit to learn it. Happy stitching all!

Hi

feeds@yuku.com (AprilKnap) — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 06:37:14 GMT

Hi All,

My name is April and I love to stitch. I am a SAHM to a 4 year old son and a 2 year old daughter. I am finally getting back to being able to stitch more. I have so much I want to stitch and am looking to start a rotation, but I can get bored very easy, so that can be the tricky part.

Look forward to meeting new people and getting a rotation set up.

April

Hi

feeds@yuku.com (blubird7) — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 19:23:43 GMT

Hi from Winnipeg, Canada.
I've been lurking for a while and decided to type up. (as opposed to speak up...)

I mostly a OAAT with a few rotations when the "one" is driving me batty.

I'm also in awe of peoples' work and both inspired and intimidated at the same time! (And since finding this site been inspired to try Mirabilia's Winter Queen! Wish me luck!)

Am looking forward to wonderful cross stitch!

Blu.

Hi - I pop in here from time to time and thought I would re-introduce myself. I could not live without my rotations. I constantly am tweaking my rotations.
I live in Aust and have recently moved to the Seaside. I am looking forward to being a regular here and getting to know you all.
