		Hi Annemarie, I think everything you have on your website, including your student's websites, is terrific. I like your style. I have to confess to buying more than I can sew out, but I'm slowly working on them all. ha! ...I am attaching 2 photos for you to see. I hope you can see how I put her name inside. She gets a big kick out of that. Sincerely, June. machinembroiderer@yahoo.com
	Annemarie, Thought you might want to see what I've been working on for the past few weeks. These were valentines day gifts for daughters, sisters and a special friend made from satin left over from my wedding dress worn on July 6, 1956 (yes, we just celebrated 50 years last July!). Thanks so much for your beautiful designs! I'm hoping to find some really special black silk to make your Cameo bag soon. Thanks, Ann Chafin, ann.chafin@verizon.net

Annemarie, First, I have to tell you that you are my favorite.........and believe me I have seen plenty, I love your work!! I am looking forward to being one of your best customers, I plan to send you lots of pictures! and earn lots of Stitch Bucks! Sincerely, Foresthillstudio@mchsi.com
