I've lurked for ages but here I am now!

I'm Chrissie, and I started sewing a few years ago. I've knitted for a long time, but I really like how quickly a sewing project comes together. I've lurked on this site for a while and I feel ready to start keeping track of my projects and participating a bit. Thanks for all the things you've all taught me so far.

Hello and welcome.  Don't forget, we NEED pics of things you make 

[Vezelay]

Big welcome Chrissie. Just curious - what part of the world are you in? Oh and what sort of projects do you sew? Tell us more!

Welcome @ckj514

Welcome Chrissie.

Welcome, Chrissie.

Thanks for the welcomes 

This is a lovely place. I'm American, from upstate New York originally, but I've been living in Scotland for the last 10 years. I like sewing all sorts of things, and I've made a diary where I'm trying to post pictures. Mostly I want to sew useful things for the house, clothes costumes and toys for the kids, and clothes for me.

Welcome. I look forward to seeing what you make, @ckj514. Sounds like quite a range.

I shouldn't worry about lurking, I do it all the time, although it is nice to join in sometimes and I have learned a lot.
