Hello from Leeds

[Gemma Rathbone]

Hi all!

My name is Gemma and I live in Leeds.
A lady at the art library craft group I attend mentioned this site (so sorry - I forgot your name) so I thought I best come and say hello.

I have been stitching for a few years since picking up cross stitch during a stay in hospital. I am now well and truly addicted. I still tend to work mostly from patterns and kits but do branch out with new techniques.

I'm a member of the WI and the Embroiderers' Guild.

Looking forward to getting to know some fellow stitchers.

Welcome to stitchinfingers, Gemma.  I know you will be unable to resist ogling all the wonderful, inspirational work that is posted here! 

Everyone is very helpful and lots of information can be found to expand your knowledge of techniques etc.

Best wishes

Barbara

Hello Gemma!  I was born and bred in Leeds and only moved away a little over 3 years ago, so I still feel quite a close connection.

Welcome and hope you enjoy yourself here too.=)
