[Doreen Grey]

Hi all--I'm Doreen Grey and I live in Canberra Australia which also happens to be where Sharon lives.
I have always loved stitching but for a long time it has been mainly Free Machine Embroidery but last year I enrolled in Sharon's TAST challenge and my whole world changed.
This year I am doing the TIF challenge and have chosen to do a Crazy Quilt block each month which has ignited my crazy passion again.
I have also invested in an Embellisher (needle felting machine) so who knows where this will lead.

Doreen what are you up at this hour for? Only nuts like me are online now not tucked into our bed

[Doreen Grey]

Sharon I am always up this late it's the only time to get anything done and anyway I can nod off during the day-(had 3 hours sleep this afternoon).

[sharonb]

Hello everyone. I'm interested in creative textiles of all kinds. Forgive me if I'm quiet for a while. We are off on holiday within the next short while.

Hello, I'm wide awake here in this part of the world, but it's almost dinnertime in the Netherlands. I'm glad you made Stichinfingers, Sharon! I love quilting, I love experimenting with embroidery, beads etcetera. Now, I'm making a Dear Jane quilt, in my own way. So those tiny blocks are going to be in a different colour than the original (dark green with lime green fabrics) and also with embellishments here and there, and angelina. Just like I am, both traditional and experimental. I love making Sharons TIF's. I'm gazing at your crazyblocks, but I have a sort of rheumatism and can't stitch much by hand. But maybe when I've saved enough money I'll get me a real embroiderymachine. You never know...

Hi everyone,

It is here not late at all, as I am living in the Netherlands. I like to join this new group, it always good to try something new. So thank you Sharon!

At times I am a very enthousiastic stitcher, and for the last two months I am very much in a stitching mood and started a new blog. Publishing not only my work, but also a couple of my own (simple) designs.

Bye, Miriam

Hi all! Thanks for starting the group Sharon! I am Ruth Lane and I live in Kalispell, Montana USA. I enjoy felting (wet, needle - both hand and machine) as well as FME, hand stitching and lots of other fiber related activities. I am also doing the TIF challenge which I am enjoying immensely. I look forward to seeing everyone's work and sharing ideas here!
