I thought I sent you the pictures of the computer bag I made out of the peacock tote design. Everyone loved it. I lined the tote with foam. Susan Barry

Hi AnneMarie; As per your request I am attaching scans of the horses I have sewn out thus far with the variegated threads. Three of them are Sulky threads and the scans do not do them justice. The purple one is quilters cotton. The program I use to manage my photos is Irfanview and is a free program widely available on the web for download. It is a small, yet powerful program that is wonderful for test stitchers because we can save the scan at half size, send it to the digitizer who can then open it up at full size. I always then take the scan into MS Paint, and circle any problem areas and send that scan along with a text file of any concerns that need to be addressed to the digitizer. Anyway, thank you very much for this design. I love it and like I said before I am sure that it is going to be a huge hit with the child, or children who receive the quilts made using the squares I send in with this design on it. I try to make 5 squares per day for charity and this block is perfect for that. Thanks for letting me know Ila. sewcraftyila@metrocast.net

Dear Annemarie, I recently purchased your Cameo Lace Clutch purse, so I could make it for my middle daughter to complete a ball gown outfit. I would like you to know that the purse is FABULOUS. GORGEOUS. OUTSTANDING. And .... oh my goodness .. beautiful! The base fabric is gold satin, overlaid with gold sparkle organza. The bodice is fully-lined and boned within an inch of it's life. I swear there must be 15 miles net ruffles in the petticoat. Truthfully, the dress can stand on it's own. :-) Although the pattern didn't call for it, I put self-fabric piping in the seam between the skirt and the bodice. Not only is this a nice decorative touch, it actually strengthens the seam by providing more support.
Pic 1. This is middle DD (whose initials are LSR) in her Belle (from Disney's "Beauty and the Beast") dress.
Pic 2. This is the front of your incredible Cameo Lace Clutch purse.
Pic 3. For a bit of personalization, I embroidered her initials on the front of the purse, in an area that would normally be covered by the flap. I used an alphabet from my design stash for the initials.
Pic 4. This is the back of the purse.

Please accept my sincere thanks and deep appreciation of your design efforts. Sincerely, Shelley Rodgers pirate@value.net

Hi Annemarie: I wanted to make something special for my cousin's daughter, so I purchased the fuzzy bears. Her mother likes neutrals so I tried to coordinate the beiges. It looked awesome and was a big hit. Sylvia L. slehmann@shaw.ca

Hi Annemarie, My 8 year old grand niece loves to play dress-up and loves "girly girl" things, so I made her your passion heart purse for Christmas. I used gold Florentine beads on one side and alpha gold beads on the other to spell out her name (Rachel). Also added a butterfly bead and used an apple blossom flower bead for the latch. I can't wait to give it to her! I know she'll just love it. My friends are already asking me to make one for their girls too! This is truly addicting! Thank you for the lovely designs!! Connie in Chino California condalebennetts@verizon.net

Dear Annemarie; remember when I wrote you and asked if I could cut apart the design to make a handle well finally found some one to take a picture of my finished (Jacobean Peacock Tote) bag. Sewcarol harshbarger07@atlanticbb.net

Themes: "Spring" "Daisy" "Rainbow" "Salutations"

Hi! I made this one before We now' it watt it will be: a boy or a girl. You can see at my grand doters (Naomi) face that she really enjoy!!! Thank you for those wonderful designs. Sincere regards Monica. Sweden. monkla@bredband.net

We used your umbrellas as decorations at a baby shower. Each table had some in the centerpiece. They were a big hit. Here is a picture of some of them. I put a lollypop stick in the shaft to stiffen it. These patterns work especially well with variegated threads, no striping. Thanks for all your lovely work. Cathie from Fort Wayne, Indiana. cathiep@pleez.net

Annemarie, The nutcups are wonderful! As you see from the picture, I've chosen the Halloween ones to stitch out first. This isn't all of them, because there are more stitched out but not yet assembled. Thank you for the wonderful designs! Margaret E. Minton, Maryland, USA, margaretminton@adelphia.net

Hi, I wanted to send you a couple of pictures of a Sunbonnet quilt I made. I used your designs on the overhanging sides of the quilt. I have gotten many compliments on the beautiful little lacy girls!! Thank you for the pretty designs. Julie Donaghey in Michigan, juldon@sirus.com

Hi, love these bonnets in lace and wanted to share with you the cover I made for my Viking Designer 1 , using them. Thanks, Linda Runnion. we_runn@yahoo.com

Wow, those are pretty, Annemarie. I want to show you the Christmas card(s) I have been making with your pretty angel design that you so generously gave to us. It stitches just great and it is pretty quick to stitch, but a lot longer to cut out. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Snowy greetings from Michigan. Erica in Sturgis, Michigan, EricaSonja@yahoo.com

Hi there; I have attached a few pics of things that I have done with a few of your sets. The earrings were done from the one of the nutcup sets that I bought from you and just cut out around the cat and the bat! I think that they have turned out just wonderfully. Still have two more baskets to sew together as well. Also the cat and the bat! I hope they go through! Smiling and Praying in Kansas, Gramma Deb, uplifted_feathers@sbcglobal.net


Annemarie, YOUR WORK is soooo amazing. First, please let me tell you how INCREDIBLE your work is. When I first started, I purchased several of your fonts, and they were wonderful, and of course, your freebies are amazing, as are your baby sets! This particular picture ("made from one of our freebies") was of a pillow that I made for my dad when he passed away. I've also used this MANY times on wedding gifts! Diane, dtracy3@cfl.rr.com		I added a buttonhole to the gusset of the Edwardian Lace Purse to attach a FSL handle I had made with Babylock's Interactive Simply Trims program. I love it, and thought you might be interested in it as a way to add a handle to your wonderful purse designs. Of course, you would digitize your own handle gggggg :)I made this purse for my sister for her July wedding! The colors don't show very well in this photo, but shows my idea well. Elaine in Southeast Georgia, USA.

"Hi Annemarie, Kyk watse mooi goedjies het ek gemaak van jou briljante werk!! Hier is nog n tissue box, en ook servette met Whispering lace asook die "freebie" servetring met n ietsie op, n monogram lyk ook baie mooi op die servetring. Groete, Elsie, kbekker@mweb.co.za " (Elsie, one of my dear friends from South Africa, sent in these pictures of her projects. She creatively used the Trapunto Couture designs on her tissue boxes and made the beautiful lace napkin ring set form Whispering Lace collection. She even used the freebie.)

	Annemarie, I just can't get over these purses of yours. In all the time I'm doing embroidery this was my most enjoyable projects that I made. Keep up the good work. I will keep on buying your designs, because they are of very good quality, and stitch out great. ANY MORE PURSES IN THE PIPELINE????? PLEASE. I also made a table runner with your Fabulous Lace designs, and it look beautiful. Annatjie van Vuuren, Classic Embroideries, anvv@clasicembroidery.com

Hi, Here is the first lampshade. Just wanted you to see what your creations can be--not only a bell. When I get the bigger one stitched out and placed on with the proper attachment, I will send you a picture. That may a couple of days with all the goings on with Christmas just around the corner. Again, thank you. Beverly bpgjlg@bellsouth.net	Also attatched are photos of my version of the classic reticule. I used 4 panals instead of 2, and I attatched crystals to it, even tho they are hard to see. I am thinkng of adding some irredesent lace at the top to compensate for the fullness so that there is a deeper ruffle at the top. I sure hope you dont mind, as I love to play around. I've decided to make a grouping of embroidered purses to hang on my wall. Thanks for your time. CAOS; mccaos111@yahoo.com

Hello, I had sent you photos of the Lace Clutch Purse I made for my Mother-In-Law and just wanted to know if you had received them and what you thought of them. I love your purse designs and own quite a few of them.Thank you! Cassandra Van Syckle; cvansyckle@northaz.com		Here is a picture of a few of the purses I have made. I gave several away for gifts but still have these. I have also made several treasure boxes trapunto pillows and am working on two trapunto quilts. That is not counting the Peacock tote I am also doing. Your designs keep me pretty busy at my sewing machine. Thanks, Donna d.dpark@verizon.net

Hello Annemarie, I have used your purse to complete my outfit for a wedding tomorrow. I used the same fabric for the purse as for my jacket. Just want to show it to you. You can use it on your project page if you wish. Kind regards from The Netherlands, Silvia. Silviavanderkolk@hetnet.nl

This purse is from our Whispering Roses Clutch Purse collection.

Hi Annmarie, I thought you might like to see the cot quilt I made for my husband's assistant using the fuzzybear designs. Since this photo was taken I have cut the raw edges even more and rewashed and dried it and it looked even better but I didn't retake a photo. Hope you like it.

Greetings from England!

I attach photos of the Peacock Clutch Purse which I made to compliment a Prom Dress for the young daughter of a friend.

I was very pleased with the quality of the stitch out, and the ease in which the purse made up.

We needed a quick birthday present for my husband's cousin, who is an amateur magician. A bottle of wine was a suitable gift, but seemed too plain. So I stitched up the top hat and tuxedo front from the Mr & Mrs Bacchus set I had bought in a special last summer, and added them to the bottle. While the tuxedo front stitched out, I hand-sewed the hat together, then rinsed the stabilizer out. They dried on the 2-hour drive there. Debra LaVergne pastnoblegrand@earthlink.net

Hi, Just wanted to show you pictures of the treasure chest I made with your design. I think it came out beautiful. Thanks, Cindy deerhunter47012@yahoo.com

They were pleased with their latest items.The purse was a pleasure to do, no jump stitches !! Best regards, Pat
