Introduction

Hello, my name is Christina, I'm 47 years old and live in Vienna/Austria. I hope to spend plenty of time stitching the Konstantinopel Hamam Mandala this year. The center piece is already (well ... nearly) finished.

I'm also looking forward to see all the progress of all of these beautiful projects taking part in the SBCC.

A brief introduction

Hello all! My name is Sherona but I'm probably better known as blackmageheart, and I'm an avid gamer and stitcher and...gamestitcher...? Yeah, that. I'm 32, I'm from Durham in the UK and I live in my little house with my 5 year old daughter Ivy, my sister Dolly and our cat Lulu and dog Yuna.
I found out about Chatelaine Designs through the beautiful and talented Joyzse and her Random Ramblings. I had been wanting to stitch one but never got around to it until the idea of the SBCC popped up. So off I went to find me a mandala. I'm dipping my proverbial toe in the proverbial water with the Tiny Rose Garden Mandala and here are a couple of pictures to show you all where I'm at with it!

My Tiny Rose Garden so far!

A close up of the centre

I'm stitching it on a lovely green marble-effect aida, and when I'm done I plan to get myself started on one of the big designs!

Lovely to meet you all and great to be involved with yet another awesome stitching event! Toodles!
