Hello cuties,

I´m 52 years old and from Portugal. I live on the coast, about 55Km north of Lisbon.
I am married, have three adult children and soon I will be grandmother for the first time. My hobby is all kinds of crafts. If it were possible, I did not work full time and dedicated myself only the arts. But this is just a dream for at least another 14 years more.
Hugs Anabela

Hi gals and guys,

I'm Chris and I live in beautiful Jewells a suburb of Newcastle, on the East coast of New South Wales, Australia. I've been a Cutie member here since just after Veronika started this site. I have 3 children, 2 married and one in a partnership for over 8 years and 5 grandchildren. I love sewing and have a Husqvarna Designer 1 and a Brother Quattro Innovis Eye. I also love singing, gardening and CRICKET! (This is just a little "in" joke for Dennis from England, when he reads the post!) Love and blessings Chris.

Good Morning to all. I'm Sandy from Northern Minnesota USA. 64 years old. Have sewed my whole life and been embroidering for about 5 years after a divorce. I have 2 children. They have a total of 7 children. I have 3 ggrand girls and one coming the 3rd of june. love the piece and quiet of a small community and a beautiful lake. Retired (kinda).

I am from Quakers Hill, a suburb of Sydney. I love sewing and crafting. I have a 22 year old daughter and a 16 year old son. I am an ex school teacher. I am originally from South Africa but have lived in Australia for 15 years and I am an Australian Citizen. Like Chris, I have a Husqvarna Designer 1. Unlike Chris however, I cannot bring myself to watch cricket - would rather have my teeth pulled without anaesthetic!!

I am currently living in Nanjing China, but will be returning to Utah, USA in June. I love embroidery & digitizing, sewing, quilting, illustrating and writing books, gardening, and time with my family (especially the GC), and luncheons a get togethers with my friends.

I have a 630, and a 230 (Berninas.) Someone on a yahoo group titled Bernina the "Bentley" of sewing machines. I do love the two that I have. I also have a Pfaff quilting machine, a Singer feather weight that I tote to quilt quild and sewing classes. Also a hand crank machine, a treadle machine and a felting machine. There isn't enough of me for all those toys, but I'm trying.

I'm Kyla from Tulsa, Oklahoma. I've been sewing since I was 5, learned cross stitch, embroidery, a little ribbon embroidery, quilting and plastic canvas work too. Just learning about machine embroidery, only things I've done are practice scraps to get a feel for placement, stabilizing, tension, etc. Love collecting the gorgeous designs everybody shares here!

Hi everyone, my name is Susan. I live in Crystal River, Florida. It is considered a tourist town because of all the manatees that live here. I am 58 and lucky enough to be retired, so I can embroider any time I want.

Hello everyone. I was born in Cuba, as a child i moved to USA with my parents, lived in Grandville, Michigan, then NY, later Puerto Rico , and last back toUSA.

Hi everyone,my name is Jill and I live North of Melbourne Victoria. I have three grown children and two granddaughters and I am nearly retired. yay.

I will have to somehow print all of these off so I can remember everyone. Thank you all.

I have the Dandenong Ranges up a bit from me, Lyn, so I'm near the outer Melbourne hills, rather than the Adelaide ones. I'm also about 435km east of Alma, more east from Linda in WAus, quite a bit south of Sally, Chris and Olly and probably about an hour's drive from Jill. Welcome to all of the new Cuties who might be reading this,
Marianne

Hi I am from Devenish ne victoria, just a tiny spot on the map about 40 houses, love this site have gained so much info. I have a market stall so am always sewing, we do markets along the Murray (Auses will know where that is)...wendy

I'm not too new, live near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and love it here. I have been sewing since I was about 8 (more than 50 years now!). I have a Bernina 730 which I love. I also do knitting, crocheting, counted cross stitch, and regular embroidery. There have to be more of us in the USA, wouldn't you think? Maureen

Well now Lyn, what a lovely idea you have. It's so nice to be able to see where all us gals live. I see there a lot of ladies in Australia - I am amazed! May I be the first from South Africa to re-introduce myself. My name is Debbie (there seems to be a lot of us). I am 50 something, lost count now, and I live in Durban, the warmest part of the country. I am not a new cutie, been here for about 4 years. I design and sew clothing and costumes for theatre ballets and plays. I love this site and try to make time for embroidery, be it by hand or machine. Welcome to all the newbies around the world.

Good day, Ladies (or should that be G'day, given the number of Aussies who have replied to this post!).

Here's a brief introduction to the odd one out amongst you. My name is Dennis and I am from a small village called Monkton which is situated in the county of Kent in the south-east of England. I am 65years going on 25 (I wish) and am married to the trouble and strife, Ann. We are now both retired, Ann from banking legal services and me from the fire and rescue service. We have no children of our own but just borrow them from family and friends on the basis that we can always give them back at the end of the day! It's not that we don't like children but can't eat a whole one in a single sitting...lol.

I was introduced to sewing as a lad, when I had to learn how to darn socks, replace buttons and pocket linings, and the like. I took up machine embroidery about two years ago, purely as a hobby. I also enjoy designing gardens and growing plants. I keep Koi carp in two ponds in my garden. I am a fair-weather motorcycle enthusiast, riding a Honda Goldwing when the conditions permit.

I enjoy watching motorcycle racing, CRICKET (for the benefit of the little minx) and rugby union. I detest anything to do with football (that is 'soccer' I believe for my American cousins).

If there is anything else you would like to know, you only have to ask.

Hi everyone. I'm Betsey. Grace and Ham(let) were two of my favorite cats, long gone now. Current cats are Sugartoes (white paws dipped in sugar bowl?) and Dubba, who started out as W.C. or Wild Child. They were foundlings and somewhat feral. Dubba got panthered last year and lived to tell about it. My two boys are grown and gone. I'm at that awkward stage - retired and no grandbaby to hold. i flower garden a great deal and have been regrading an area by hand to make it suitable for a garden. Don't know where I get these dumb ideas. We live in rural Alabama, north of Auburn University about 1/2 hour. My hubby is a retired Methodist pastor. Anybody out there anywhere near me? Fascinating to see what a crowd we have from Australia and really from all over!

Hello CUTE family - I am not new to this group - been here for longer than I can even remember. Hehehe! I am Shirlene and I live in Ogden, Utah - USA - when you LQQK at the US map - we are to the right of California by two states - it is the state that LQQKs like a little box on top of a bigger box. I live across from the Great Salt Lake and the mountains. I always love these sort of threads, because it allows us to get to know the members of the CUTE family. Thank you Lyn for starting it.

I have been embroidering since 2002 and I have a passion and Love of Lace (FSL-Free Standing Lace) for those that do not know me, yet. My Mother was LorettaG28 (Miss Loretta) - I miss her terribly. I haven't been doing much embroidery in the last year and have just moved into an senior apartment complex. I am working on getting my PC setup with my embroidery program and have my machines about ready to get to work. I hope to have all my extra stuff sorted and out of boxes really soon. I have missed being on the CUTE site and all of you very much. Unconditional Love, Shirlene

Hi, another aussie here. I am in Lara, Victoria. (near Geelong). I am married almost 20 yrs, have 3 children Adam 18, Kane 16 and Hali 12. Have been embroidering since 2005.

Well, I've been a Cute member since early in 2007. The finest site on the Internet and the dearest friends i've ever known & loved. I am a retired RN and my hubby is disabled. Not able to be on as much as i have in the past because of health reasons but still do as much as I can. Gallant,Al. USA is my home now but was born and raised in Ga. & guess i will always be a Ga. girl at heart. I am only 30 miles NE of Birmingham. Al/Lillian

Lyn, I'm so glad that you brought this back up. It does help us to remember and also to get to know the new folks. I can't remember the date I first signed up. There used to be a place where you could go and see but it's been gone a long time now. I did see that my first post was on 29 June 2007, but I remember skulking in the background for quite awhile before I started yapping. I am from Northwest Georgia just a bit west of the beginning of the Appalachian trail. I have hiked small parts of the trail, but have past the time/age/strength that I will hike the full -approximately 2,200 miles (3,500 km). My state is next to Alabama and you know some of the Cuties from there, too. Oh, my name is Jerrilyn, I am 5'7 1/2" and I weigh.......TMI

I don't remember when I signed up , jrob was before me. We both live in Georgia but a couple of hours apart. Some day we may meet at the Quilt & sew Expo in Gwinnett county, a biggy event. Lillian is in Alabama and has close family 30 minutes from me, but we have never meet. Linda Flanders is more than an hour away south of me and we have never meet. It is still a small word!! Some day , we will meet!!

Hi All, I am just outside of Orlando Florida - not a Florida native but have been here for 28 years. I am originally from Central Oregon and still have family there. I am not new to the site but have gone back to work full time so I don't spend as much time on the computer as I would like. I have been sewing for nearly 50 years and love machine embroidery. - Aileen

Hi there Cuties. I am from Malmesbury, Western Cape, South Africa. Been a Cutie for about 4 years and enjoy ME. That is when I have enough time to be at the machine long enough. My hubby has just retired and now my work starts, haha, love Shirl*

Hi everyone, My name is Lyn also. I live in Aus about 100k south of Sydney in the beautiful Southern Highlands at a place named Bowral (home of Bradman museum). I have 3 girls and 1 boy. Eldest daughter has 2 children and they have all just come to live with us whilst they save some money for a home. Not much sewing being done now (darn!!!) but still keep up with my Cuties site. Been sewing all my life and found machine embroidery 13 years ago. First machine was a Janome 9000. Now have 11000SE . Love to all, Lynx

Good Afternoon Cuties, I live in the USA, in the State of Alabama, in the southern most rural part of Montgomery County. I have 2 children and 3 grandsons, a husband, and a DIL When school begins in the fall I will be the oldest teacher on faculty where I teach, and several of the students already refer to me as Grandma. I have been one of the Cuties for 2 1/2 years. After chemo and radiation for breast cancer I decided that I wanted to prove that I could still learn something new so I bought an embroidery machine. It has been a long struggle. But, with the help of the Cuties sometimes I'm able to make something presentable. Regards to all, Stella

Hi! Everyone i'm Marian another Aussie. I live in Wetherill Park about 45min west of Sydeny(mind the travel time depends who's driving). I'm house bound due to health but love to visit here to see what everyones up to..

My name is Angie and I am not a new Cute either. I think I joined sometime in 2008 when I had purchased a used machine with no help built in. Reading posts is so helpful!!! Thanks all Cuties.
I have 4 children, 5 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild with the second one ready to be born next month.
I live in the Sacramento area in sunny California. 2 hours away from San Francisco and the ocean and 2 hours away from the mountains and snow in the winter. I love all crafts and lately got into quilting in more detail. I owned a yarn shop for 12 years and worked as a bookkeeper for a private school for many years. Now I am retired and love every minute of it. Still don't have enough time for everything I wan to do.
Nice to meet all of you.
