I have a giveaway myself so you should pop over and enter :D<br /><br />As for when I first started stitching, I think I was either 8 or 9. My mother did more embroidery than cross stitch so she started me off on cross stitch. She bought me a Precious Moments booklet that had tons of little designs to stitch. I made quite a few for family members and put them into coloured plastic frame hoops. That started the buzz and I continued stitching all the way into high school. I took a textiles course and loved learning all sorts of techniques from applique to silk dyeing. I unfortunately took a very long break in university and didn't seriously pick up stitching again until about 4 years ago. Now I'm addicted and working on making all sorts of finishes, most of which I learned from online tutorials!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15102636394805433263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211247721316689313.post-23954710104966225442011-06-03T15:26:41.166-04:002011-06-03T15:26:41.166-04:00I am a follower of your blog and always enjoy seei...I am a follower of your blog and always enjoy seeing what you are working on. I did my first stamped cross stitch when I was 13 and then did embroidery for a few years. In 1979 we moved to Wisconsin where my hubby attended college and my new neighbor was a cross-stitcher. She shared some patterns with me and I was hooked. I have made so many things I could not count them, but the first was a picutre of vase of flowers that I framed and sent to my mother for her birthday. I have that project in my kitchen now. I would love any of the three giveaways. Thanks for the chance.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09664975962756698152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211247721316689313.post-71004855265979978332011-05-26T21:13:49.901-04:002011-05-26T21:13:49.901-04:00I follow you via my Google Reader list. :) I would...I follow you via my Google Reader list. :) I would attempt a backflip if I won Giveaway 2. Seriously, how can you give this up???? Those are gorgeous, and I love-love-love the little bits and odds & ends of trim. They make me dizzy with delight. :D<br /><br />My first finish was a little Santa ornament. I took up stitching to deal with some serious stress-related health issues. Sara showed me how to cross my x's and treated that little ornament like it was a treasure. I quickly went on to a tiny marking sampler, which I still have, and ... the rest is history. I didn't stitch for several years, but have done it nearly every day since I found out I was pregnant with my second son. :Dbarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11898566437682135391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211247721316689313.post-16019872084370935892011-05-26T17:18:12.292-04:002011-05-26T17:18:12.292-04:00Cool!

Big thanks to you for sharing your find!, I would love to win any of the three lots for my stash.<br />As for my first stitching, I can't remember, my mum had us stitching from a very young age, firstly our names on hankies, which we had to make ourselves. But a good moment for me was at the age of 11 being in my schools fashion show, wearing a skirt and top I had made myself, and winning a special prize as the youngest in the show, at the time they did not have prizes for our age group, because no one of my age had entered before.Poppypatchworkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749159567150084975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211247721316689313.post-41585085076901292592011-05-26T07:18:55.651-04:002011-05-26T07:18:55.651-04:00Good morning my friend.

She only did one as she really did not like it but I loved it right away. Over the years I did stamped cross stitch, embroidery, crewel work, loom knitting and finally my favorite - counted cross stitch!rosek1870https://www.blogger.com/profile/07270936087981149993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211247721316689313.post-38061584011700457852011-05-26T05:28:08.071-04:002011-05-26T05:28:08.071-04:00OO could I be entered for the trims :) I am a foll...OO could I be entered for the trims :) I am a follower :) well I have been sewing since a wee one and made a hand stitched mouse that had all matching clothes when I was in junior school ..

I generally finish by framing, so I don't use trims and thread and the like. I hope they all find a wonderful home though!! I picked up embroidery at an early age. My mom did cross stitch and crewelwork (mostly crewelwork), and I learned satin stitch and cross stitch at the age of six. Just the basics. Then, after that, I also learned rug hooking. I've hooked a few rugs, but I'm not great at it. I like stitching much better. I'll have to get the one hook rug I have, and show a pic of it. It's in the bedroom somewhere... Anyways, I didn't pick up a needle again till after high school, but I was still drawn to cross stitch. I think it's because I'm OCD. Seeing all the little x's lined up in neat rows just satisfies that OCD part of me really well. I like counted better than stamped, and I love the big, complex pieces.mdgtjuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06665956958250175869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211247721316689313.post-23665350282320156922011-05-25T22:44:43.867-04:002011-05-25T22:44:43.867-04:00Wow, super generous and super stash to share.

Oh what one could do with those trims. <br /><br />I think after creating cattywhompas pot holders on a loom I stitched Barbie clothes by hand with big long stitches. A site to behold but clever and beautiful to me. So I guess I was hooked on stitching and creating at about 7.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852055825470914421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211247721316689313.post-64899718526829913562011-05-25T21:42:46.229-04:002011-05-25T21:42:46.229-04:00I am a new follower, although I've been readin...I am a new follower, although I've been reading your blog for months. I would like to be entered in the spool giveaway. I collect wooden spools and have for about 20 years!<br /><br />My grandma taught me to embroider when I was nine years old. As I grew older I branched out into needlepoint and then when I was around 20, I began to x-stitch. I've been hooked now for over thirty-five years.<br /><br />Thanks for the opportunity to enter the giveaway.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01500908214242939547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211247721316689313.post-14551374383577148412011-05-25T19:45:58.106-04:002011-05-25T19:45:58.106-04:00Pls enter me for giveaway number 2.

My first finish was a little dog with a cherry branch above his head, it was a small kit for beginners. Cross stitch is the only craft that I keep going back to no matter what. I had a break for a few years and tried ceramics and quilting but that didn't go too far, cross stitch pulled me back and I havent drifted away now for ages. (dont think I ever will).<br />LISA VLisa Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11982266978697423220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211247721316689313.post-17830391992734611742011-05-25T18:50:28.700-04:002011-05-25T18:50:28.700-04:00I am a follower.
