A Quiz. About Stitching. Lol.

I got this from my Mum's blog. Thank you, Mum, for giving me something to do!

2, Who taught you to cross stitch? My Mum


3, What inspired you to begin cross stitching? My Mum, Haha.

4, What has been your most difficult cross stitch piece? I know it's hardly a huge project, but "The Four Food Groups" - Mum should remember it! Unfortunately I can't find it since I moved!


5, Do you have friends that stitch? Does my Mum count as a friend? I've got a friend here in Northampton, Freya. And my partner Steve.


6, What is your favorite stitched piece? Again, Four Food Groups. But I want to start some new stuff.

8, What is your favorite fiber? I'm guessing by fiber you mean threads? If so, DMC - It's what I grew up with!!
