"You have a beautiful home. It looks very much like a stitching retreat. I lived in Japan for 5 years and know what a "shared" bath is like. We lived in the northern part where the cold made you very glad of this…"
I love working with linen for cross stitch. I am learning to work linen without a hoop or stretcher bars, using the sewing motion. However, when working with other fibers, I use my stretcher bars.
Where did you learn your textile skills?
Self taught, mostly. I search online for help in any site I come across. I have become a follower of Jane Greenoff and through her and her books, I've picked up a lot of confidence and skills.
Is there anything else you'd like other members of Stitchin' Fingers to know about you? Please feel free to tell us a little bit about yourself by way of introduction.
I've been cross-stitching for many years. I have just now begun doing Hardanger, pulled thread work and needlepoint.
Welcome to stitchin fingers Doris, try going to the Main page, on the left side there is Forum, click on veiw all and I think you will find a heading "for new hands." Hope this helps.
