and all of the bugs on the new site are smoothed out, we will like it just as much. All of us that have been around for so long feel more at home here. I was a member(not active)for a very long time at another site and have never said a single word to anyone until I finally posted a comment just awhile back when one of our mutual member's husband passed away. I just went in and told everyone that this member needed prayers and let them know that her husband had passed away. I do not feel comfortable there and have never even tried to learn my way around. I collect a design once in awhile but in all these yrs, I do not think I have ever even sewn out a design from there. I am an old lady who had one of the very first embroidery machines ever made for personal use. I have been collecting free and bought designs much longer than most of you ever even thought about a machine. This is the very first site that I have ever felt comfortable joining. I even joined alot of the Yahoo Groups over the years but have only been active in just a couple of them over the yrs. Misty Mountain(Susan Jacobi) has been a longtime favorite of mine because of the designs and of course Susan. She is a very nice person and has reached out to help me several times. I get tons of emails and should really close most of them because I never have time to visit anymore. When Susan had life threatening surgery several yrs ago, we talked personally several times because I was so worried about her. She is a very strong beliver in her faith and although she had a hard time for awhile, she seems to be stronger than ever. I really feel like she is one for the records and her Faith is what pulled her through. Since I have some serious medical problems, she has been/set some very good examples for me. She is one very nice Lady and I was so very proud that she was such a fighter through and after her surgery. We have not talked in a long time now but she seems to be doing very well and her designs are just as, if not better than ever before! The Spring Floral Border is still my favorite of all time and it sews out beautifully.

As I was trying to say, I have been around a very long time and Cute Embroidery is my favorite place to be for info, designs, friendship in the sewing community and I have met many, many wonderful people from all over the world that tends to have their very own shining lights in this field. The most beautiful work I have ever seen is right here in the projects!
Thanks Veronika for making this possible for all of us!
