Dear Cuties,

I love being a Cutie on Cute!! I love the way we can share one another's joys and pain. Daily this site is an inspiration to me. Thank you to Miss Veronika and her team and the moderators of this site.

i wholeheartedly & sincearly agree to what you have said...
i feel really grt to be a part of cute family..
thank you..

Hear! Hear! I agree with everything you said. Miss Veronika has been so generous with her time and designs and we are lucky to have such a warm caring site.

Very well said! This may get buried…but not until after I was able to read it. Just so u know, I may not comment a lot and haven't added any more pics since the first batch i posted but i do come to visit on pretty much a daily basis and love the site! I have learned sew much just reading the posts and want to thank each and every one of u for the inspiration you give! I will be finished working on the 13th of this month and then on the 24th, I go in for a total hip replacement. So after i am recovered from that, I hope to be able to get a lot more sewing/embroidery done and will post more pics. Hoping i will feel up to following cute shortly after my surgery!
Keep up the great work cuties!

Oooops, should add that I am one of the new cuties! lol

Good luck with the surgery. Welcome.

I am a new cutie and feel so blessed to have such a wealth of friendship and support, thank you ladies and gentlemen for sharing your most amazing talents with these awesome designs and thanks to all fellow cuties who share their talents and life stories. God bless each of you.

well said & you give so much more then you get...............I mean emotionally of course! When we come to Miss V's house we can come to visit & bring or share something & you just never know who will be here so it is always a fun & loving place to be! & I agree we love coming to "visit" at Miss V's house

Very well said. We do love this site!

Thank you -- each of you! I have read your comments and treasure you all!
You should know I came here years ago for the Freebies from Veronika. I stayed for the wonderful Cute family.
Hugs and flowers to all of my Cute family! You are each so dear to me!

well said

Excellent advice for newbies and some of us who have been here a little while too. I don't join in very many discussions as I don't seem to have the time, but I do appreciate all the generous gifts from Veronika and other cuties and I try to give advice when requested (the few times I feel that I might have something to add). Most of the time, though, it's all been covered by the time I read it. I'm afraid I've posted no projects though as I seem to give them all away before I remember to take a picture.

ahh proud to be part of this wonderful family :-)
big hugs from London

I just want to say I came for the freebee's, I mean when I got my machine, I looked online for free designs and this sight popped up so I thought I'd take a look. what I saw was not only lovely designs but. Wonderful people, Kind, Caring, Thoughtful, Generous. Wonderful people from all over the world. I never really say a lot. I don't even think I introduced myself . But I want you to know the first thing I do every morning is come to this site, You are all truly a Blessing to me and I pray for you all every day. Thank you so much.

We love to be prayed over, Jen. Thank you and blessings on you, too.

by hightechgrammy 07 Mar 2014

Jen, your comment is so sweet, and I think it reflects how many feel. It's kind of how I got addicted to Cuties. I just kind of came here for a while. I wasn't planning on sharing myself. But one day I did, Since then, I have developed real friendships, not just online friends, but friends whom I may never meet in person, but who are true friends. So, go ahead and jump in and introduce yourself, when you're ready. Your life will be blessed. Hugs, Jan in Colorado.

Very powerful & sincere message within these words and I could not agree more...........This website along with the camaraderie has been a daily blessing for many including myself........Thanks to all that make this a warm and inviting atmosphere to hang out in......

The fellowship here is a daily must for me, I've learned so much, and cuties from the other parts of the world coming together is special to see and know what is new with them. The talents are amazing and my to do list or want to do list has grown immensely. Thank you for being here!

So well said! Thank you for puttig into words what being a Cutie is! Love being here!
Christie in Germany

Amen. Thanks for taking the time to write and post this.

Well said! I am a long time member but do not post often. Love you all Sally

Just thought I'd let everyone know I love being a cutie and visit this site heaps of times a day
Karen

Great job!! I wish I could spend more time here as I used to do but I still have quality time when I am here. Love you all. Kay aka katydid

Nicely done, Rescuer!!! I have been a part of Cute for many years - to me, it comes down to, we are a family and we are accepting and we are thankful to be able to come here. Thank you, Ms Veronika!!

I still consider myself a newbie. Only been here for 2 alphabets and 3 lots of numbers. :-)
If a person doesn't like what is offered than can always go elsewhere. I came here for the free designs. Saw a cute snowman and decided to investigate and stayed.
I have noticed that some folk just buy the whole set when an alphabet or a series starts and good on them. I have missed a few of the freebies in the sets and if I really want them I can always buy the individual designs or the set. I feel like I have embroidery designs coming out my ears so am not downloading any more unless something comes up that I really MUST have... :-)
But saying that I still come back most days to read the posts. Love being here and seeing what everyone is doing in embroidery and their lives. I am a newbie on this site and at machine embroidery only been doing it for just over two years now.
A big thank you to the folk who provide the Cute opportunity to me.

Thanx for posting these feelings for all of us who love this site and all of our special friends we've been through thick and thin with. I used to talk to my husband about different Cuties and what they were going through at the time as if they lived next door. He was quick, it didn't take him long to know all the names of my Cute family!!! I miss him so much and it will be a year on the 14th of March that he went to Heaven, (Sorry for the side trip), but you know, we are family! All different, but the same! Love youns and Miss Veronika so very much! Hugs, Judy

Hugs for you Gramsbear!

Well, as an old and dilapidared newbie, I wouldn't risk saying a single word out of place......................especially now that I know how many pairs of scissors and other wound-inflicting implements you Cuties hold in your respective arsenals..................

Correct Bev. Dilapidated was the word I meant. Like me, my keyboard keys have worn out, as have my eyes. Thank you for the correction. lol

So well said Rescuer! I love my Cute Family!

I love you , too!

Well said. This is a very loving and giving community. It is a family and like all families we have a tiff now and then. That said, we stick together and support each other. We share what we know and cheer each other.

Something else the new Cuties should know is about the quilting project the Cuties did. We made 104 quilts and sent them to Uganda to some orphans at Raising Up Hope for Uganda. Go to this link to see the thank you! Thank You again, Cuties WE DID IT!!!

And lots of dresses and pocket dollies, toys and puppets. So much LOVE was sent to these children by Cuties!
Cuties have love to share!

by bevintex edited 04 Mar 2014

It was a great project and it started off as just an idea. A lot of caring and helping goes on here.

by katydid 04 Mar 2014

Real troopers!!!

Very well said. I LOVE CUTE. Shirley

Well said. I originally came here when I first started and yes I was looking for freebies - I didn't know there was more to it as with some sites. But, at first, it was the freebies that kept drawing me back - I was very thankful for them! Then I started spending more time on here and reading as many posts as I could and then there's the Projects - wow! - what an inspiration!
Since then I have had so much help - sometimes not by a question I have asked but one someone else has asked that gave me information that I didn't know I needed (suprisingly).
I rarely go to other sites as there is so much here and thanks to the cuties I have learned a lot and come a long way in this new(still) hobby. Love all the help and info and any newbie should realize how much they can benefit from this site with freebies the icing on the cake!

Lovely thoughts and so well said. I love this place.

Well said You sure do got a way with words:):)Hugs All:):)

Sooo true and so right on point...my day wouldn't be complete without at least one visit to Cute...and I try to check every single tab...Thanks to Miss V and our beloved Moderators, we are able to continue to enjoy the fellowship and friendships this site affords worldwide...I never thought that I would have so many friends in all of the corners of the world...thank you Cute for all that you do for all of us every day...

I thank all your members who have told you about my free designs. That is how I came to know of this websites' existence. Doing an analysis of web tracking on my own website, your site kept popping up so I decided to check it out. Very nice.
Thanks
Cindy Ru

We're glad you like it here. We do. I noticed that in March of 2012 you started your only thread, but we want to encourage you and all those who drop in to become more active and get to know and help the community. It's a really fine group of folks who care about embroidery and more, we care about each other.

by hightechgrammy 04 Mar 2014

Hi Cindy, I first saw your designs on SewForum. I'm glad to see you here too. Cuties is smaller, more personal and It's nice you found us. You have WONDERFUL designs. What got you started designing? Jan

by katydid 04 Mar 2014

Cindy ,I have been your loyal supporter from day one and we love you and your excellent customer service. I love your group buys! Kay

Well written and thank you, hugs S*

well said xxx

Beautiful!

Kudos to you for a piece well thought out and written with kindness. No matter what the organization, club , web group,etc. It always makes me cringe when someone joins and immediately starts out with what is wrong or "We used to do it(whatever "it" is) thus and so. Fortunately it seems that they are few and far between here and often doen't stick around long.
Good Job!!!

Thank you. I don't interact much, but I love to come to Cute. Sometime when problems seem unending, Cute gives me the needed break. I enjoy the sharing and love shown by each Cutie is wonderful. Thank you to each and every Cutie.

well said

So well said. Thank you so very much!

Thank you so much for reminding us why we are here! My day would not be the same if I was not able to share in so many peoples lives around the world. I do not post threads often, but I do like to offer my congratulations, prayers and sympathies as often as I can, after all, that is why we are all here - it's the community that cares and helps one-another in so many ways. May this always be the reason. Thanks to you all and a grateful thanks to Miss V. :) Hugs and blessings, Debbie

Thank you for allowing me to comment on this. I for one like the freebies... Acceptance; Beauty; Caring; Devotion; Embroidery; Friendship; Giving; Help; Innovation; Joy; Kindness; Love; Memories; Niceness; Offers; Perfection; Quality; Respect; Selflessness; Time; Uniqueness; Variety; Work; Extras; You; Z...? (This one is a puzzlement). :0
So you see I couldn't agree more with your article, as I was silent for a time while on here. But everyone has given me so much how can I not like, no amend that to LOVE the freebies. This what the owner Ms V. and everyone of you lovely people have allowed me to see, the free designs are just frosting on the cake!
When I first commented, I needed the balm you offered to me, so for that I am more than grateful, as it was given freely.
Thank you to everyone. Leaha

Zest for embroidery?

by Leaha 04 Mar 2014

Good one!

dear rescuer, thank you for your kind words.everything you said is so true.the help we get, the prayers we all need, the pictures, we see, the stories we read, the wishing of good will, the concerns of each other,etc. and the knowledge that is shared is so much greater than any book you can read.every morning i sit and share my one cup of coffee with all the cuties.than i start my day.i have learnt that the people who always complain are to be ignored.if they do not get any attention they are only talking to themselves. they soon give up. so once again cuties i would like to thank you all for making this old ladies days more enjoyable. to Veronika, no words can express at how much i enjoy and appreciate what you do for us. thank you.

I wholeheartedly agree to what you have taken time to put here.

Amen.

As a fairly long time "lurker" and new poster I have always been impressed by the civility (sp?) and kindness exhibited on this site. I am not one to post a lot and do not have the time to play with my machines that I thought I would have once retired. It seems there are less hours in the day than when I was working full time. But I wouldn't trade chasing my beautiful granddaughters now for all the machine time in the world.
I do so appreciate all the work of Miss Veronika and the moderators. Even if there were no freebies associated with this site I would continue to visit and occasionally post.

Love chasing grandkids around too!

Hugs back to you.

Thank you for your words, I agree. My englisch is not so good, that I can find always words for a comment, but I read the most posts and feel with the cuties their good and bad days. I enjoy to see the projects for new ideas and like to go to this site every day.

Your English is just fine. Please don't hesitate because of it. We get the idea, just as you understand us. ☺

Thank you for taking the time and patience to put into print what I have thought for a long time. Hugs to you. :)

Dear Rescuer: This brought tears to my eyes. This is so well written and I know it is how everyone on this site feels. I wish there was a tab for things like this, so they don't get buried and forgotten.
Hugs and flowers to you and all
Jerri

THank you. I come heres MORE than any other site because of the warm vibes I get EVERY TIME I VISIT!!!!! I have found more laughs and hugs and cries and supports and sweetness than any other site----I do visit Facebook but come out many times upset and frustrated because of comments persons make that are UNKIND----I have NEVER found that on CuteEmb, Thank you to ALL who work so hard to make this the friendly warm site it is. God bless y'all:):):)

I agree 100%. Really how many designs do you really need?

THANKS YOU! I agree
Aleene

And this very thing that you have written about is why this site is so successful. I love all of you, my dear friends and hope this year to make new ones who get into my heart as deeply as others who have been here a long time. We share life together, not just embroidery.

Absolutely Jerrilyn.

by hightechgrammy 04 Mar 2014

It is :-) It truly is a family

100% agree

I heartily agree! Thanks for the well said words. I think us "older" cuties should at times turn the other cheek and just ignore the posts we get irritated with. If no one answers they will probably go away. Hugs. Nan W

If I could learn and practice that in REAL LIFE when I get so upset and irritated with ----- people---if I could and would just ignore them and walk away----God bless you!!!!

Thank you. I may not post often, but I do read most post. I laugh and cry and am happy and sad with you all. I also get annoyed when something is said that isn't nice.
I love to come here and catch up with all that is going on and am in awe of all the talent and beautiful creations.
Everyone is so giving with help when it is needed, sometimes I don't need to ask a question cause someone else has the same problem and I find the answer. I give flowers profusely as a way of saying thank you.

thank you for mentioning that---I so often forget or do not take the time to give flowers---it just makes me feel good and I am sure it makes others feel good, too--God bless you.

Thank you rescuer,
I am happy to see this post this morning as I have to admit that I have been feeling uneasy and uncomfortable with some of the commentary on here lately which is directed to mostly new cuties. I have read some recent posts and thought if I were a ''newbie'', I would not be attracted to stay here or come again for a visit. I realize that there may be some frustration on behalf of some ''oldie's'' but I think words should be chosen wisely, with a little diplomacy and respect should be offered as this is an open forum and displayed for all to see.
This is the exception to the rule as we all know how great this ''cuties'' site is but for someone visiting for the first time to come across some of the comments is a definite turnoff IMO.
So thanks for this, yesterday I was disheartened and today my joy at being a cutie has been restored.
big hug
Michelle

Especially for shutins and those of us stranded INSIDE because of ICE and age and cannot get out----we NEED the love and support and caring for each other that we can only find through phone calls to local friends and outside of the local area ON CUTE:)::):) God bless y'all.

Well said!! I whole heartedly agree!! xx Hugs!

ttt

Thank you for posting this. It has been needed to be said for a long time. You were very diplomatic on your posting and I hope all new cuties will pay heed to this. Hugs, Mary

very well said ..linda

Excellent and you have a great way with words. You have made the comment that many of us have thought about but not posted

We should keep sending this to the top. Well said rescuer. I am sure every 'oldie' (not talking about age) thinks the same. I have made some incredible friends on this site from all over the world, it is my daily dose of the best medicine there is. Thank you all and especially Ms Veronika. Hugs and *** to all. Sarah

Well said, this needed to be pointed out and you did it very diplomatically.

Well stated, hugs Heather

I have wanted to post something like this for a while now but I couldn't have been nearly as diplomatic!

Yes you would!

HEAR! HEAR!

This is one of the nicest friendliest sites I have ever had the good fortune to be a member of, although I hardly have a minute to do any embroidery these day due to my beautiful granddaughter who I have five days a week (19 months now), but I still check in when I can and look at all the wonderful creations. :) Diana

You are soooooo lucky....Mine grands are 500 miles away and we are fortunate to see them every 2-3 months,,,,Love it and THEM!!!!!!!!!! And the gdaughter asks when she can learn to sew:):):) Mom knows how to do basics---I taught her the basics--she has picked up many things on her own---but no time---works 6 days a week at home--3 kids to chase and run---and husband working on college degree--night school---running 3 kids--cooking---they are young--wish we were closer but not possible at this time!!!God bless you..

well said. xx

Thanks Rescuer,
I love this site, and I'm so happy I found this group. I have friends all over the world here. The freebies are such a small part of Cuties. Thanks for your comment. Hug, and more hugs, Jan aka grammycats or hightechgrammy

From the freebies, I have branched out to so many other places where I have found so many ideas and designs and techniques:):) God bless you.

Not quite sure what prompted your open letter, and as I still consider myself a newbie, I must agree with you, I have learnt so very much from this site and have to have my daily dose of questions, projects and comments from all the very talented people here before my day starts so keep up the good work cuties I love this site.

Carol, you sound like an Old Cutie to me :-) I'm sure this wasn't directed to you. Consider yourself an Oldie! LOL

by carolpountney 04 Mar 2014

wow, no I did not think it was aimed at me but I still feel as if I am a newbie I have sooo much to learn,ps how did you know my age? yes I am an Oldie

by eyeztodiefor10 04 Mar 2014

Carol, many of us have been at this awhile and we all have something new to learn! I've been at it over 6 years and just now getting into ith projects. Just go at your own pace and don't be afraid to try something new. Learning is not just for newbies! lol

by asterixsew edited 04 Mar 2014

Carol there was a posting very recently of someone ... about not getting the free designs that they wanted. They had posted a few times before and each time made the same comment. No further postings from them. I am sure that this posting is for such people. I too am still learning and will do forever

by carolpountney 04 Mar 2014

Thanks for all the comments this is what makes this site TOPS

by osueo 04 Mar 2014

I have been machine embroidering for about 10 years---ALWAYS learn something new EVERY TIME I visit Cute. I have been at it a long time, but I NEVER stop learning and trying new things. It is very addictive and fun and TIME-CONSUMING:):):) NEVER A DULL MOMENT!!!!!!! It's always too much to do and not enough time to do it in. God bless you,

by sbott54 04 Mar 2014

Yes, CUTE is the best and you all are what gets me going each day. I found this site initially for the freebies but soon came to love Cuties and mostly forget the design aspect. The love and encouragement are what draws me here now
