not still on sale but I did see several designs that I really wanted but can not remember the name of the site. My son was was irate with me when I said something about it last Sunday. He accuses me of spending money on designs that I will never use and he is most likely right but they should make someone happy when I pass away! He throws away every penny he makes and what he does not throw away his wife does on junk. She is a $$$$$store junkiie! I also have a list for Emlibrary that I want to get. Thanks ahead of time! Linda

Gee, that is not a word that I would use as a ctitique. For those into quilt designs, or decorative designs, there is a multitude of choices to use as is or combine how you like.
In the hoop eyeglass cases, purses,bags, gingerbread houses, the Firetrucks-which I have grandchildren that will love them,a firetruck tissue box cover, boxes.
Redwork, some filled designs, some trapunto designs, lots of butterflies-which my DIL will be getting in some form or another. FSL.
He was not into creating cutsie animals and things. Those can be found in lots of places.
I would never describe anyone's work in this art form as boring, just not to my taste at the time.

I think there are tons of useful designs....certainly more than the $12.95 spent getting them.

I also meant to tell you, and others, that although the price was right for $12.95, the designs were mostly boring, ones we already have, and you can get better at some of our Cutie's sites. I jumped for it, and only got about maybe 10 designs that are unique and I'll use.

Don't ever feel guilty about your hobbies. If collecting designs makes you feel good, then consider them part of your "pursuit of happiness." Who cares if you ever stitch them all. You have a collection - and it should be viewed as your collecting hobby. I'll bet you spend less on these than lots of other people spend on other hobbies. How expensive is a day of Golf? A night on the town? Just going to the movies is more expensive. You GO Girl and keep on collecting all your treasures!

Thanks all of you for your comments! I agree with all of it! He did not treat me like this until he got married. His wife had been married and had 2 grown daughters and 3 grands when the love bug finally bit him. She is a nice person overall but she is used to controlling everything and she even tries with me. She has even gone as far as telling me that she knows where my son(her husband) got his stubborness from! We have butted heads many times but when he was still at home. He is a grown man now and I have no control over him at all so I know better than trying to convience him of anything. He is just like me when it comes to that. He and I both have always had to find out the hard way, when we are wrong! I had to be a strong figure when I was raising a son alone! Boy, could I tell you some stories but will refrain from it! Hugs and have a great day! Linda

Even if you never use it, do you question his spending? If it gives you pleasure that's your choice. Go for it. I have purchased and stitched out many designs (and some will never get done) which i paid plenty for and a lot of the designs go onto things I do for free - I don't smoke, drink, eat out or go to movies. I work darn hard for my money and it's mine to enjoy.!! Elizabeth

As well as the original site, Ramon has a page at OPW, where you can see some of the sets included but not pictured (ie, the firetruck tissue box). Not all of them have a page to see the set, but looking at all the others, they have to look nice in real time. It's just going to take time to sort them all out. He has folders within folders within folders sometimes with numbers but no names. But I'm super happy to have gotten them all!

Thanks for the heads up I have download half of them

Linda, if getting these designs gives you pleasure get them. I get a lot of pleasure just looking at some of my designs. Will never have enough time to stitch them all out. Enjoy!!!!!!!. Marg

Well and truly worth the price, though it takes forever to download everything.

I did find several sets contained the incorrect set of designs, three so far, and I haven't finished checking them all yet.

Don't forget to create a new folder to download them all to, so that you can unzip them all in batches and keep them in that folder to make it easier to find them. Hugs and love, Meg

I downloaded Jef format and have unzipped all, organised a folder for all and had a few double ups other than that no probs...Hugs Sallu

You're in luck they are still on sale. I agree it's your money and if spending a small amount under $13.00 gives you pleasure go for it!!! That small amount of money will give you hours and hours of pleasure and excitement downloading and stitching out YOUR designs.

Hope you do take this opportunity. I did and is so worth it..Hugs Sally

Remember it's your money do what you want when you want.. how old is your son and when did he become your finance advisor? it's not how many designs you have or if your going to use them, it's just that you have what you want.// GOD BLESS mm
