HI – I am new to the forum. I have been stitching for 30 years – that long already!Smile  My grandmother taught me to embroider when I was a child. I used to crochet and tat but gave those up because of my hands – I have fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis.  I would like to learn to needlepoint – that has always been hard for me to figure out.  Tatting was easy for me.  Stitching is also hard when my hands are hurting, I haven't stitched in over a year and have thought of giving it up but don't want to. Am starting to get back into it again. 

Glad to be here. Take care – blessings – Barb

Hi Barb, welcome to the forums!

What a great grandmother to have taught you to embroider.  I haven't done needlepoint myself, but there are many here at Nordic who love it to death.  I've only done a bit of  Bargello in Hardanger, and though it's beautiful, it does take time for me.

It's funny you should say tatting was easy for you – you much be very talented indeed.

Glad you are getting back into!  I know many of us around here wouldn't be able to give it up either – I swear some around here would start stitching with their feet if they didn't have any hands, haha.    As for needlepoint, have you checked out the article Debi wrote on it not too long ago?  It's worth a read!

Thanks for joining us here – we are happy to have you.
