I just wanted to share the updated banner I was able to complete with Kim's (dragonflyer) rescue. The one I did is on the far left side of the photo. I'm so glad it fit in more with the others. Our program went very well, and one little boy professed

I've been trying to find the words to tell my story. My youngest daughter is getting a divorce. That's not the hard part. The hard part is saying that she has been emotionally neglected and abused for the last few years and didn't want us to know.

Have any of you tried the Embroidery Fonts Plus free software for lettering? I want to embroider a Bible verse, and ran across this. Is it worth the effort?
