Been embroidering off and on for 4 years. Bought a used machine. Lady died and hubby also gave me lots of designs and just now beginning to add to the pile. I'm almost 70, with 2 "kids", 4 grands and 4 greats. Think that makes me kinda old. Lived in Georgia, near Atlanta all of my life. Been sewing since I was 15. Love it. When I'm down, I start to sew. Takes my mind right off my problems. The embroidery machine is beginning to do that, too since I started really using it instead of just playing. It's a Bernina, older, but works great for me. My favorite designs are Jacobean. Like the colors mostly.

I agree sewing and embroidery does help take your mind off other things, which at time is good therapy for coping (or surviving)!! LOL
I am glad you have joined the Cuties! This is a great group!
