I am a:

My IG/TT Handles are:

Let's talk about communication (f you are unsure, ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION):

I'd love a new stitch BFF! Set me up with someone who is ready to yap.

I'm here for the exchange! I don't need a lot of chat.

I'm happy with either.

Let's talk about distance:

I'd love to match with someone close to me that I can meet up with.

I'm happy with anyone!

Feedback about shipping has been received! We'll work with your geography to cut down on shipping costs for you. We also know how cool it was to see people meeting in real life; this question aims to match people in the same areas, when possible and preferred.

Designers I love, canvases I've been eyeing, my canvas wishlist (add in anything here that would help your partner find the perfect canvas for you!):

My white whale canvas is:

A White Whale Canvas is a canvas you'd love to stitch but you can't find anywhere! This question is not required but could make for a real treasure hunt for your partner.

In general, I would describe my style as:

Some of my favorite fibers are:

I self-finish:

Absolutely

Not a chance

Not yet but I would love to try!

I'd love to try something new in needlepointing this year. It's:

I currently spend most of my day:

This question isn't required as you may have been smooth sailing lately.

Outside of needlepointing, I love to:

Anything else you'd like to say about yourself that we didn't ask? This might help your partner have a better understanding of who you are as a person and as a stitcher.

I agree to be a fully participating member of The Great Needlepoint Exchange. I promise to devote my time, money, and care to curating a package for my partner that, however big or small, is thoughtful and respectful of my and my partner's time.

I agree to spend within the limits given: to send a package that has a value of less than $150 (package envy is real! No one wants to feel Less Than).

I understand this that year will be different! I know that I will be paired with partners a bit more randomly than in years' past.

I understand that if I do not send a GNE package to my receiving partner by the deadline and I do not communicate any delays to my partner (because Life Happens), I will be invoiced $150 which will go toward purchasing a package for my partner.

[But seriously, don't ghost your partner. It's a horrible feeling. If you can no longer participate, just tell me (Andrea) and I will be happy to help.]
