This is a post that I’ve wanted to put together for a while now, and I need your help. Yes you! And you too!
In my working life, I tended to move cities (err more like States) every three or so years. And every time I moved into a new area I wondered if there were other cross stitchers or general crafting groups locally so I could meet some people.
So, with your help, we are going turn this into an International Community Page of get-together for everyone to use to find or start a local stitching group in their area.
I will start. Please post any details of any groups you know about that meeting regularly or occasionally.

Right now it’s your turn! Post the information you know in the comments and I will add the details to the page.
Please share this post to everyone you know who might be in a stitching group or would be interested in finding one. I would really like to turn this into an International resource!
