Hi Liz, I just came across your post via Stuart's account. Not sure why it wasn't picked up by more people, but never mind. You're here now, so Welcome to Hive!!!
We have a Needlework Community on Hive, I think you will love it there and be able to connect with a lot of like minded people.

I'm also tagging @lauramica who is a mod from Needlework, and @steevc, he manages the Britlist on Hive each month.
Hope you enjoy it here!!
