Finally, Measi always gives us a topic to discuss:
August – Do you belong to any stitching groups or guilds (either in person or virtual)?
Groups, are another matter!! The advent of Facebook has been incredible for groups and I don't want to have to count how many I belong to. I am a big fan of "single designer or theme" groups rather than general stitching groups. I love the Mirabilia groups and belong to many of those. They often set up spin-off groups for a group such as The Bewitching Pixies or the Zodiac Girls. I also love the Halloween Stitching Group as that is a nice pure Spooky Stitching group.
I do admin a couple of groups - IHSW being the main one. I also run the Just Cross Stitch Ornament SAL. Both of those I took the reins when the founder wanted to take a break from admin. I also help out with the Stitchonomy group and a Lavender & Lace group too.
I'm only in 2 challenge groups - Stitch from Stash which I adore and WIP Warriors (used to be No New Starts). I do the "24 in '24" for that one.
