Hi I'm new, been cross stitching for around 20 years. Been kniting for many more but find it difficult now due to arthritis, find the yarn heavy for larger items.
Am able to knit smaller items for premature babies.
Will find somewhere on site to see what may be needed or it's useful to send to Aunty Jane.
May need to find some patterns too.
I'm retired from nursing, pension age now. Severe mobility problems due to osteo-arthritis and polymyalgia. I live in Shrewsbury, Shropshire although I was brought up in North Shields.
Use a motorised scooter to get out and about.
Looking forward to making new friends.

Hi Ann , and welcome to the gang.
Lots of things are needed for the babies , but I'm more on the stitching side of things than knitting.
Aunty Jane will be back on board on Sunday or Monday probably , as it's our first fundraiser tomorrow , so she's up to the eyes. So , she or one of the other mods will be able to tell you what's most needed at the moment , but I think angel gowns , pockets and hats are usually on the top of the list.

Pop on for a chat any time , hope you enjoy being in our group , we are a little mad , and the chat has gone mad just lately , but we're a friendly bunch and happy to help.
Take care .XXX

Hi Ann,
Glad you could join us. I`m Poppie a knitting moderator and will help you all I can along with all the other Mod`s.
Right, if you go to the section RR`s, Exchange etc, then click on " This months challenge/request " you will see what we need for the angels and prem. babies. If you need patterns just give a shout. We also knit little teddies and 6x6inch squares for Jaymbee (Janet) who makes them into 36x36inch blankets.

www.bonniebabies.co.uk

http://preemiesuk.googlepages.com/

These two sites have free patterns you can download.

I`m a similar age to yourself :-) and live in Solihull, not a long way from you. I`ve been a member of this group for a year now and have made lots of lovely new friends.

Hugs Poppiexxx

Hi Ann,

A warm welcome to you! :D

I'm the looney . . . ummm, . . . free spirited and mischievious one of the gang! ;) :D :P Like Cath, I'm on the sewing and hand embroidery side. :D Here is a link for a thread that Aunty Jane posted earlier in the month. http://stitch4charity.proboards.com/inde....play&thread=937 I hope this helps? :D

My husband is a Nurse, he took a career change in his early 30s. ;)

I've just started a part time textile arts degree. :D A dream I started to follow after my arts degree, but took a detour . . . :P ;D

Hope you come and enjoy chatting with us! :D

Aroha (Love)

Hi All, I'm probably in the wrong place so just point me in the right direction. Not used to pro boards

I'm Angie (Greydove). Although I joined, oh so long ago, I haven't been involved with the group. Life became rather busy as it does.

The group I was quilting for is about to close, so I've got together on facebook with Aunty Jane. Lovely Lady, and it looks as if you are lumbered with me quilting for for the group

I'm a widow. Youngest son is about to fly the nest so that just leaves me, my two pesky moggies and a pooch here. Rubbing my hands together at the though of all the free time I'll have. His old room .... lets just say I need more sewing space lol.

I'm a Grandma to a super little girl who lives in Wales with my eldest son. I keep an eye on my own Mother. She lives in a Residential Complex. I sort of ended up running a Knitter and Natters group there (long story) and am very proud of the hudreds of items they have produced. Mainly blankets and prem items, with the odd pair of bed socks thrown in.

I knit, both with needles and machine, do crochet but that's best forgotten about. Quilt of course and have made over 50 for the elderly and children ... so far. I'm sure you can help me get that number up. Can't do it without you. I cross stitch and embroider too. Basically can't sit still without some sort of crafting in my hands.

Home is in Staffordshire btw. Think I've yammered on long enough. Looking forward to getting to know you all better, and to figuring out how to use pro boards lol.
hugs, Angie xxx

Hi everyone. I was looking around the web for cross stitch patterns and happened upon this group. I just had to join it right away. Hopefully I can help you all as much as it seems you help each other. I live in Ohio, USA with my husband of 4 years and our combined total of 7 kids (ages 16 years to 4 years). Have too much time on hands as the youngest just started school so in order to help spare my family I can also help others that can gain from me. I have been cross stitching as long as I can remember- so about 25 years, just started learning how to do quilts and hope to be able to pick up crochet.

Hi April & welcome to the group - hope you enjoy looking around & find something to suit you to fill up your time. I'm at the other end of the scale - the last of our children (3) has just gone away to college but as she's dong a "sandwich" course she is a salaried worker & gets the holidays of a salaried worker, so we shan't be seeing much of her for a while. Even though there's now just the 2 of us at how the time seems to fly. I work full tiem & my evenings are filled with stitching & knitting :)
Hope to see you around & if you need anything please don't hesitate to ask.

Hello April and Valerie,

Lovely to meet you and hear all about you. I hope you enjoy being here as much as the rest of us do.
We all try to help each other, so if there is anything at all you need to know, don't hesitate to ask and one of us will gladly help.

I am mum to three who have all left home and doing their own thing now.
I can't remember what I did with my time before I joined this group, but it was meant to be and I love it! I had the great pleasure of meeting AuntyJane and Katycorner with her lovely family, and also Nina, at our first ever fund raising day in York a couple of weekends ago. I had a great time there and can't wait to repeat it! I love York!

Hugss

Hello all, I'm a stay at home mum/nan. Most of the day is taken up with the usual cooking cleaning etc, but in the evening I enjoy knitting, crocheting and needlecraft, so I thought I would put my hobby to use, and help little ones. Look forward to getting to know everyone
