I have been to "stitch and B!tches" before. These were for our medieval group so we could get together and get stuck into our various projects. I would find cross stitch hard to do with company, I would get lost trying to follow the pattern. I found blackwork great to do in company, as once I had the pattern down pat I could do it easily whilst talking. The same with the repetitive decorative stitches on clothing.

Would love to say that I would join you, but I am too far away Can join you in spirit though.
