Hi everyone,
I'm Laura and I live in Italy. I'm reading your posts on this board since a year or so, and I'm so impressed of your beautifull pics!
I'm working on Mini Mandala Mystery 01 (my first Chatelaine!) and I started Celtic Garden a few days ago! I will post my pics as soon as possible.

I am looking forward to learning from other board members about Martina Weber's wonderful works. I've just started on my first piece, Convent Garden. I'm really enjoying using the beautiful silk threads and a variety of stitches.

Hi all. I've been lurking since I first found this board but I thought I better introduce myself since I've posted my WIP of Mystery XI. My name is Sarah and I live in southeast Nebraska with my DH and two beautiful little boys, ages 5 and 2. We live in a small village whose claim to fame is being the home of the largest F4 tornado ever recorded. Besides my boys, we also have two puppies, a German Shepherd and a Lab mix, and two cats inside to keep the dogs in line.

Hi there, I am new, having been invited by Guymark when we met at Nuneaton a couple of weeks ago.

I am known on my forums as 21mags but commonly known as Maggie. I am nearly 67 and have been married to Jeff for nearly 48 years. We have 4 adult children and 5 grandchildren - 2 of which are grown up and 3 are youngsters. We live in the Midlands which is good for getting to most places.

Hi all!

I found Chatelaine a little while ago and was totally blown away by her Japanese box and other awesome designs. I'm waiting for some stuff to get to me from European Cross Stitch so I can get started on a fresh project.

Hopefully I'll get smart and scan some pics of my WIPs and post them. hehe

I'm not a very advanced stitcher but I enjoy it and find it relaxing.

I'm 66 years old, and the happy grandmother of five who live in France. My husband and I retired to a gated community in a blatantly tourist area that we really love! I've been cross-stitching for about 25 years.

I'm ready to play with the big girls, and I'm hoping the people here can help if I get lost in specialty stitches. Old people tend to lose brain cells ... :-).

Chatelaine designs are amazing! I'm waiting (impatiently) for the fabric for...

Hello,

I've been lurking around for a couple weeks and thought I'd introduce myself. I live on the Central Coast of California and work full time as a Unix Systems Administrator for the DoD. I've been cross stitching off and on for the past 25 years (gasp!). I started when I was in High School. I just started my first Chatelaine design, the Convent's Herbal Garden. I also bought the Alpine Seasons and Egyptian Garden patterns which I will do eventually, but I am...

Hi everyone,

I'm Rianne from Holland and by chance I found Martina's designs. I fell in love with them instantly!
I went a bit crazy and ordered myself the Alhambra Garden, the Egypt Garden and the Taj Mahal Garden.
For the Egypt and Alhambra ones, everything needed should be on their way to me soon. I can't wait to get started!

And then it got worse off course, because I found...

Hi girls! I'm Emily from California. I think some of you might know me from the Mira BB. I'm going to be doing my first Chatelaine project, the Dragonfly Boudoir box. I'm so excited! I love Mirabilia, Just Nan, Shepherd's Bush, and lots of other designers. These BBs have encouraged me to grow my stash to ridiculous proportions. I'm married (1 1/2 years!) to my wonderful husband and we have a kitty...Mr. Sinatra, or Lobster Cat as he is now called after his humiliating...
