Hello everyone.
My name is Bonita. I am from Las Vegas, NV and would like to get to know other Cutie members from Las Vegas, also any other cutie members. I have 5 children and 11 grandchildren. My embroidery machines are Janome MC8000 and the MC10001. I have been a member for awhile now but now that I am laid off I have a bit more time to spend here. So I am trying to get more familiar with the site.
I hope everyone has a blessed beautiful day.
I've just realised, this is a old topic and I am answering to them like if they send their message today !!!!!
I still wish a welcome to the new Cuties.
I am Cathie, I am French(Bretonne) but I live in England(Oxforshire).
I DREAM to meet some Cuties from England or France where I will be for 2 weeks in April around Brittany(Rennes, Nantes, Brest).
I will be this Saturday in the NEC Birmingham to see the embroidery exhibition.
Love Cathie
Hi everybody, I'm Rhoda and I'm new here. I am from New Mexico(USA). I own a Brother PE 750D for about 5 years but just begun to really use it. My kids are all grown and on their own. I now have time for just me. I am divorced so I still don't have a life but to be here with all of you kind cuties. I thank you for all of your tips and knowledge. Still learn something new everyday. Where to post, what to post, what not to post. The tips on copy write etc. My moto is to be treated like you would like others to treat you. You get more from honey than you do from vinger. Love and hugs to all.
I'm from Alaska USA and would love to know if any is in the southern area?
Hi I am from South Australia, on the coast of Eyre Peninsula. It is the middle State of Australia and tourists generally pass through on their way from Sydney (East) and Perth (West) but lately they have been staying a while to soak up our untouched beauty. Whale-watching and wild-life such as Kangaroos and Wombats. Small population, great people.
Hi, my name is Linda and I live in Western New York. I got my viking machine for Christmas last year. I LOVE it! I just became a grandmother to a beautiful little girl in March (Izzabella) and again in June to a handsome little man (Landen). I have been making baby items like crazy. This Grandma thing is the best.
Linda, welcome to the CUTE family - please share your new baby projects with us - we love babies and everything that goes with them. CONGRATULATIONS on the two new additions to your family.

I am not a new cutie, although I am always learning "new" from this great group. I live in Wisconsin and keep hoping I will see someone even remotely close to this area- anyone???????
My name is Ginger, I am a mom and a nama, which my oldest granddaughter called me when she was learning to talk. My birthday is June 4th, although I quit celebrating them a few years ago!!!
Was born in Coloumbus, OH and moved to Westerville, OH where I lived till I married then moved to Freeport, IL; Muncie, IN; Back to OH, NC, Hollywood, FL; Miramar, FL; Orlando, FL; Kissimmee, FL. 14 moves later I'm now living in Boone area of NC. The good thing is I got to meet a lot of different people and cultures from all over the world and spring cleaning was easy.
Anita, that is alot of moving - hope you have settle down some - Boone is a lovely area. I lived in Greensboro, NC for eight years, I now live in Riverdale, UT.
My daughter graduated from UNCG (University of North Carolina Greensboro)so I know the area, There is another cutie in High Point. My brother is in Denver so I have got fairly close to your area. Do you live close to the Red Rock area?
I am really new to embroidery and to cuties. But I like both. I turned 61 on 5/24 and retired last year. Been a sewer since 9 yrs old, made my first quilt top when I was 12...picked it back up for good in the 70's, now my next adventure started in Jan. when I started a Hoopsisters class at a nearby quilt shop. Have been hooked on collecting freebies for over a month. Love seeing the little freebies coming to life on the fabric. Located in Middle Tennessee, Warren County the Nursery Center of the USA...love reading your suggestions and advice.
Diane, we are so happy to get to know you and to know that we can count on you for our quilting questions, too. Isn't embroidery fun?
It gives quilting a whole new life and boy am I enjoying trying out new things for quilts and quilting projects. I am a member of the embroidery club at a close by quilt shop and I have learned so much from them and cuties. I rely on cuties and this group to answer my questions. I enjoy turning all my freebie designs into a quilted project. thanks for your welcome. Dianne

mommadooks, we are so happy to have you in the CUTE family. We will help you along with embroidery and some will with sewing - I don't know much about sewing now, either - so we will learn together.
Mommadooks, it's good to meet you. I'm glad you're here on Cute. Enjoy the board and check out the designs by cuties in the upper right hand corner of the board. Some digitizers here have shared their designs with us.

Sending this 'to the top' in case someone missed it.
1. Please list your birth MONTH and DAY only (the year is not important).
2. Your first name is important (if you wish).
3. A general area is helpful so that nearby cuties can contact you and get together.
I live in South Africa and have now completed a short profile. Thanks for this idea and reminding me to fill in my profile.
I am from Willits, California. about 2 hrs north of San Fransico. The heart of the redwoods, home of the skunk train.
Glad you're here lani02. It must be lovely to live near the redwoods. I have never seen them, besides seeing photos, and cannot imagine what the skunk train could be....

Hi, Deb here, I live in Canton Ohio, home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I have 2 sons, 33 and 30, the youngest is getting married on 10/10/10 after 10 years with his fiance. The older one is divorced. Have 2 cats I am allergic to but won't part with. Had cancer last Fall, had surgery and chemo and am now growing hair so life is nice. Hubby bought me my Brother SE-350 for Christmas and I am having a ball! He retired in Nov. so we are trying to enjoy life!
Deb, bless your heart - you have had to deal with cancer and we didn't know to pray for you - hope your recover from now on will be all good. I will be praying for that.
Thanks, I had the surgery before I got my machine but it has gotten me through the chemo, when I couldn't do anything else I could sit at the machine and change threads.
This is such an awesome idea! Thank you for posting this!
My name is Meri, I turned 56 on June 1, I live in the central part of NY state between Syracuse, Ithaca, and Auburn. Anyone in the vacinity shout out please! I am the Mother of four grown sons and Grandma of two grandsons, Aydin 4, and Jake 1. I have the Singer Futura ce-100 and added the update which has given me a lot more choices in doing projects. I've been quilting over 16 years now and my wonderful bf, Maurice bought the embroidery machine for me and had it all set up in place of my old sewing machine when I got home from work one day! He is retired Air Force and my biggest supporter. We've been together 4 years and it's just great! I've only been doing embroidery about a year and a half. I had the machine almost a year before overcoming my fear of embroidery and I've been hooked ever since. We have a non-embroidery website which helps suppliment his retirement and helps pay the bills.
I love all the cuties! I've gotten more advice and helpful criticisms (which I ask for) from the wonderful cutie family. You folks are the greatest!
Meri
Wow, just got done reading where you all are from and not one is anywhere near me. I am not new here but just sort of hang around and enjoy the company anyway. I am 70 years old and live in the northern part of New York state on Lake Champlain. I enjoy everyone here.
Ruthie
Hi Ruthie, I'm from Plattsburgh but moved a year ago to be closer to the grands. Wish I'd known about you when I was there! Now we're about an hour south west of Syracuse. There is a quilting guild in Plattsburgh but I never found anyone else who enjoyed embroidery up there.! Most of my siblings are in Peru and one in Morrisonville- you gotta be close to some of them!
Have a great day!
Meri
Where are all the Aussies, I know we have a few on Cute, would especially like to catch up with some Sth Australians, I'm from Broadview, Cheers Ruth
Glad you're here Ruth. Greetings from the Old Dominion State of Virginia, on the east coast of the USA!
Hi Ruth , I live on the Mornington Peninsula , south of Melbourne, Australia. My husband and I are recently retired,my interest is my sewing involvement and his is flying light aircraft. I am an addicted Cuties follower.As they say every day is like Sunday for us .
Hi..I live in Logan in Brisbane and I love being a Cutie.I must be hooked because I must get my "fix" everyday.
Whatever happened to the link for the world map to show where we all are????

My name is Amelia Hardin, I live in Sumiton Alabama, 25 miles from Birmngham.
Hi, my name is Linda and I am from Alberta, Canada.
I'm 59 and have sewed since I was about 5 or 6 and have just treated myself to a new machine. My old one (of 29 yrs)was just a sewing machine and I have wanted to do machine embroidery for a while as I have seen some really nice designs done up at the sewing centre. I just recently treated myself to the Janome MC11000SE. I love it. With all the variety of designs here I have lots to work with for now until I get the hang of it. Thank you all for such cute designs.
Greetings from the Old Dominion State of Virginia on the east coast of the USA!

Hi Cuties: my name is Maria, 53 years old, I was born in Sao Bras de Alportel, Portugal, however I came to Germany 39 years ago. I live in a small town between Hannover and Göttingen.

Hugs, Maria
Greetings from the Old Dominion State of Virginia on the east coast of the USA! My son will soon marry a beautiful young woman from Germany.

Met a great friend through this post. Hope more people can meet.
Hi Cuties: My name is Mary-Anne, but most friends call me MAC. I live in Nova Scotia Canada and have a Singer Futura CE150 that I love. I have a great hubby, 3 sons, a step son and 3 grandkids. This year I am going to personalize gifts with embroidery designs.
Does anyone have a Futura, I would love to hear from you, because most people I have talked to hate that embroidery machine.
Cheers to all
MAC :)
Hi! I have a Singer 250-C.
I have only had it a month or so, but I love it. Don't have anything to compare it to. I did a lot of research before purchasing it and thought it had much to offer for the price. It reads many file types, not just the singer XXX files.
My name is Reva and I live in Henderson, KY.
Hi, I have the Singer Futura CE 350 and I love mine, too. I live in south Alabama. There's a nice Futura Yahoo Group that has been helpful to me when I've had issues. PM me and I'll send you both the link. Anne
I have a Singer Futura CE200. I've had it about 5 yrs, but only really started getting into embroidery as part of an addiction about 3 yrs ago! i really like my machine. I bought the Auto-Punch software so I could use the fonts on my computer - best thing I ever did! The only thing I want to do now is buy the software so I can copy/paste designs so I can have everything on one screen instead of flipping screens trying to make sure everything is lined up properly.
Oh, BTW, (by the way) I'm Jacqueline from Virginia in the USA. Live north of Richmond, VA, the state capital. My birth date is June 18. Would love to meet others in the area. *4ALL!
Thanks for posting and encouraging people to list their location, first name and birth month and day. It really helps to be able to 'connect' in our minds.
I'm Pam and I live in Westerville, Ohio. Do all kinds of crafts but my embroidery machine is my favorite and love doing things for my 3 year old grandson. And others of course.
Hi cuties, I'm Laura from Bowling Green,KY USA. It's about 1 hour north of Nashville and 2 hours south of Louisville. Any cuties nearby?
Welcome to Cute, Laura. So glad you're here. Sadly I live near Richmond, VA, and the commute would be too far. Have you listed your birthday month and day with Raelene so we can send you messages on your special day?
Love,
Jacqueline

Welcome Everyone! I'm Sandy. My husband and I retired to Tucson from Seattle 3 years ago! When I'm not in the sun, I'm on the cute site, or embroidering on my Brother or Janomie. Nanniesara...Great idea! :)
So glad to meet you Sandy. Hope you're enjoying retirement in the sunny state of AZ. Glad you're here on Cute.
This is a wonderful post, so glad to have all of you new cuties aboard!!!
Hello Everyone. I am not exactly a newbie but I have never introduced myself. My name is Kathy. I live in Stockton, CA.
Let's get together--I live in Colfax, CA (about 40 minutes from Angie (Crafter) and Sewmom lives about 90 minutes from Angie. We might have to catch up to Sewmom at an ACRO meet :)
Kathy, welcome tot he CUTE family - now we know your name - I do hope each of you find a way to connect in person. Good luck!
That is something I would love to do as well.I have alot of things I have to work around at the moment but to me this would be a 'real' treat. Not to sound too dumb..what is an ACRO meet.
Teddybear we are trying. Please check your PM (personal message)Sewmom and Daisy530 are also wanting to meet.
Sorry, I should explain. I have a post in personal that I looked up for you but the pictures are not working there now. Acro is short for acrobatic gymnastics. They work in pairs or trios, sometimes more. My older daughter was in a pair. Unfortunately her pair just broke up but she will continue training and be in a new pair or trio next year. My younger daughter is in a trio. They compete doing balance, strength, and tumbling routines to music. First link is to pictures of the sport. 2nd link is my post in personals.

I think I hit a nerve or sprung a bit of curosity in our little big world of cute. Thanks for the reponse and I gave you all flowers so don't think I did not read your messages. It is a small world after all. I do love coming on here and chatting with everybody and learning new things. It is very interesting to me all the different cultures and the one common interest we all have and many thnaks to Veronica for allowing us to communicate all about the one favorite thing we love. Thanks all you cuties and don't forget to put where your from and a little about yourself on here. And never fear new cuties someone will help you I can almost promise you that. We are "The Cute Family" and families stick together through thick and thin. Sorry I need to get off my soap box now. Thanks you all and have a blessed and restful night. Sara aka Nanniesara
Thanks for posting this Sara; would love it if you'd add your birth month and day of the month to your profile so we can send birthday greetings.
I was sent a private msg from someone requesting that I fill out my profile so I did. I think that is the best way to let people know who you are and where you are from etc
Sorry, but I don't know your first name, but welcome, anyway. Know you've been posting for quite a while. Wish you could add your birth month and day to your profile so that a birthday greeting could be sent to you.
So glad you're here.
Hi...what a fantastic idea! I'm 59, have two wonderful daughters [30 and 36]and one amazing grandson now 7. I moved to Moncton New Brunswick[that's in the ever-so-cold Canada!]three years ago and love, love, LOVE sewing. I bought my dream machine, Pfaff Creative Vision in Sept. 2008, and have been learning all I can about machine embroidery. I am so fascinated by this wonder. Someday I would dearly love to digitize, too. You ladies are so helpful and generous. Thank you all!
Claire, welcome to Cute. So glad you share my dream of wishing to learn to digitize someday.
Hello dear Monctonian, I live in Nova Scotia, Great to meet you!
Mary-Anne aka custa
I've been using this site for several months. Love the help it gives me. I'm Nancy from Ocala, Florida originally from Terre Haute, Indiana. I only have a Brother 270D machine but love to embroider with it and download new designs.
Sara, a very wonderful suggestion and I am grateful to you - so I can get to know some of the new CUTE family - as I have been a bit busy in the last month or two, myself. I just met my first CUTE member recently and I have to say - it sure is a wonderful feeling - to know that our meeting was because we met here. I wish you all a CUTE connection.
Looks like you have several neighbors in you area. Good luck and I hope Rick continues to improve. Sara I will send you a pm soon. Sara
Really? Hmmmmm, none that have contacted me to let me know how to reach them.
I'd love to drive out and visit, but...
live in Virginia. Guess it would take a week.
Hope you and Rick are doing well. Know you're a busy lady with a patient to tend to, 24/7.
I am from Port Pirie in South Australia
So close!! Do you know Dr Alan Golding at the hospital and his wife, Dymphna?? Alan is my nephew.

Ok. I've already found 2 Cuties I'd like to meet or talk to. Thanks Nanniesara!
I'm from Bismarck, North Dakota and have been living in Richmond, Virginia for 37 years. I have 2 grown children and 1 grandson just 13 months old. And he's a wonder! I have had a Bernina 640 for just over a year. I love these embroideries.
I used to live in Greensboro, NC - it would have been fun to get together with you - now one of us will have to travel across the country - as I live in Riverdale, UT.
Where are the Candian cuties???? Am i all alone here?

I have 1 dog, 2 inside cats , 1 inside outside cat and 3 outside cats. Yes i'm the crazy cat lady..lol
Hi, I moved to Moncton New Brunswick in 2006, but my mother and oldest daught are still in Ottawa area.
I'm in Beaconsfield, Quebec Canada, born and bred Montrealer....family is spread around Ontario, I am the only one left here in QC...x0x0x0x
Hi, I live in Nova Scotia. We are only a couple of provinces apart. I have been machine embroidering since 2002 and absolutely love it.
I am here in Hawkestone Ontario which is close to Barrie. Will be making a trip to Niagara Falls for the bug fest June 26 and 27 both hubby and I have Volkswagen Beetles.
Hi Michelle here, 52 living near Montreal,
two grown children, great husband and looking
forward to retirement so I can embroider all
day long and not only in my spare time. Do many craft and enjoy anything to do with creating. Leave in a couple of weeks for paris and prague so looking forward to that,
enjoy chatting any cuties. Have a great day,
Michelle
Michelle, that sounds like a wonderful trip. I've never been to Prague, but would love to go there also. So glad you're here, now.
HI,Betty here,I live in Southern Ontario, an hour from Toronto. Have a Singer Futura 350, which I am still learning on. Have two grown children, 4 grandchildren, Been sewing most of my life, embroider work is fairly new for me.
I'm on the east coast in Saylorsburg PA which is in the Poconos. I have a Brother ULT 2001 which I boought 2nd hand about 7yrs ago & love it.Don't digitize yet but maybe someday.
Arlene
My name is Rita and I live in lower Michigan (USA). I have a Brother ULT2001 that I bought about 9 years and I still absolutely LOVE it todate. I purchased PE Design V5 when it came out years ago and as much as I hate to admit it, I am only now playing with it and actually TRYING to learn it by trial and error (...and not so succesfully I might add, LOL). Hopefully someday I may get to a point where I'll be able to share some digitized designs with the cuties here. ~R
Welcome to the CUTE family Rita - not all of us digitize - but most of us enjoy embroidery - how can we help?
Hi, I have a ULT2003D. Very similar to yours I believe. I have PE Design version 5 also. I do a lot of combining designs but still need to learn to digitize better.
Thank you Shirlener88, but I think I just need to play around with it...and most importantly...NOT let myself GET SO FRUSTRATED! Hmmm Sewmom...I might have to pick your brain once in awhile...the manual is not my best method of learning...and see, my learning is so fundamental that I hadn't even thought about combining designs on PE Design...I've just used either my machine or my Smart Sizer Gold program, LOL. ~Rita
How fun! Lucky you, you got the Disney designs...I bought mine about 8 months before they released the ULT2002 ;{ ~Rita
So glad you are here Rita. Not all of us digitize, but we are lucky to have some wonderfully experienced embroiderers and digitizers to help you.

The name s Arlene, nobody is my user name because it never seems anyone else has used it and that way I only have to remember one name
I think you are SOMEBODY doing all these nice things for others, not a nobody.
Arlene, I'm Sandra and I'm in Springfield. You're an inspiration to me to get going on my projects. Nice to meet you.
I'm in Hopewell, Ohio. Just wondering where Cuties is since I see many here from out of the USA. I don't get on here as much as I'd love to because of work but am on my 2nd membership here. Hope to be able to find this link later.My name is Judy but all the grands call me Nana. I have 5 Beautiful grandkids that I adore. Have a soon to be 43 year old son, soon to be 38 year old daughter and a wonderful hubby. I love this site just don't get to chat much but I do try to read what everyone is doing and love all the help everyone gives to each other.
Judy, welcome to the CUTE family - we will grow on you - that is for sure - when you can come - do so - we would love to hear more from you dear.
This is a great idea, my name is Maritza, married to a wonderful man for 26 years I have a daughter 23 and a son 26, they both live in Miami, fl. After 35 years as elementary school teacher in Miami, my husband an I decided to retire, now I have been living in Dominican Republic for a year and a half. My B-day is may 29th and it is getting closer. Mary
Mary, welcome to the CUTE family - we are so happy that you have told us a bit about yourself, too.
Mary, we're so glad you're here! My son just vacationed with his German (soon to be) relatives, and had a wonderful time. Said it was beautiful.
May I say Happy Birthday in advance? Will try to remember it later, too.
This is a great idea. I am from Lake City, Florida and I am kind of new to the group and I love it
Love this group. I"m from upstate SC near the mountains.:p)
keeponsewing - what a pretty area you live in - I used to live in Greensboro, NC - now in UT.
Shirlene, I live in Spartanburg, which you have probably heard of since you weren't too far (apprx350 miles) I too love this area, but I'm also a world traveler and lived in several countries in Europe. Hope all is well with you and Rick.
Terre, thank you for responding - it would have been easy to get together in the Carolina's, as I do know where Spartanburg is - you are the world travelor - so you get on a plane and visit UT, next - OK? Rick is as well as he can be at this stage of the recovery, thanks!
I'm not exactly a newbie - but, I have tons to learn!!!! I live in the cold state of Michigan!
I also like to have someone nearby, but I don't think here will be someone. I live in the east of Switzerland, I'm 37 (still!) y.o., and I have four children aged between 5 and 12. I got my embroidery machine from my husband and like doing things with it, but I have no one, who can teach me or help me if something is going wrong (when I digitize or when the machine stitchs). I hope you understand what I mean, I'm too lazy to use my dictionary now, sorry!
Greetings, linuxtanja
Perhaps you could mention what type of machine you have; I'm sure that some of the Cuties here who digitize could help you learn.
Welcome to Cute!
Jacqueline
linuxtanja, welcome to the CUTE family - yes, please tell us more about your machine and what program you use - there is bound to be someone that can help.
I have the Janome 350e, and I'm using embird. I've just downloaded the Stitch Era Universal for trying. Thank you and have a nice Day! Tanja

Jo
Hi Jo; used to live in NYC, and vacation on the coast of Jersey. Long Beach Island was lovely.
Isn't it just? I can hear the Beach Boys singing-Goin to Surf City. (though they didn't mean that one. ) It's like 52 degrees out. Sigh

So glad you're here Dilceia. My husband and son have visited your beautiful city in Brasil, but I dream to visit one day, also.
I'm in windy Kansas
So glad you are here, fontmomma. My daughter used to live in KS and when we visited I loved it! It was windy, often, but she said it was b/c KS was in the center of the USA and got weather from everywhere.
I grew up in KS. We always said that Kansas was windy because Nebraska sucks and Missouri blows...jk Now I live in Missouri and my DH is from Nebraska..lol
I also grew up in Kansas - Wichita. But for a LONG time now I have called Clinton, Mississippi home.
Must have missed this post the first time around. I live in Independence, KS. Which town are you in Fontmomma. Mildred
I'd love to meet any CUTIES around the Dallas/Ft Worth area in Texas (USA).
I just moved from South Carolina to San Antonio Texas will be moving into a house by the end of this week. Maybe we could do a cuties get together later this year.

Hello, I´m in Portugal a little distant from you, but one day we all will be rich and we could do a mega meeting to all people from this community. We need two things, money and a place (I sugest French Polinesia or Portugal) I´m joking.
Hugs
Angelina
Hey Angelina, I love your Country.
Taste a lot of the idea of puting photo in the profile, because you see the friend how he is.
Be well coming!

Angelina,Recife é lindo! praias maravilhosas e o artezanato é encantador!

Olá eu nasci perto do Porto (Penafiel) mas desde sempre vivi em Lisboa. Agora moro em Oeiras perto de Cascais. E tu de ondes és?
Angelina, eu sou do Porto, onde vivo, mas conheço perfeitamente Penafiel, cuja parte antiga adoro! (I'm from Oporto, where I live, but I know Penafiel, which ancient part I think is just beautiful)
I agree. I am in North Dakota and would love to meet someone to share with. I have found lots of quilters but few embroidery addicts.
I'm in Richmond, Va now, but I grew up in Bismarck. I still have lots of family there. I'd love to get to know you better!
Would love to know which Cutes are in the UK as my sister and I are crusing the British Isles in August, looking forward to meeting up with Maria (Mooie) in London...thanks for asking Sara x0x0x0x from Canada *4U
I am the Uk in Oxforshire, 30 mn north of Oxford in Banbury.
