I just have to say how much I appreciate all of the freebies given by all designers. I usually browse the site while I am there. My 'want' and 'need' list grows ever bigger! I also work, have children-one grown and married and a teenager still at home. Both of my children have health issues, the grown one is in a major remission, and the younger one is in a very stable
condition at this time. The embroidery, reading HOE and learning from all of the projects listed and enjoying the freebies are all part of the small ME time that I enjoy. I am still here if the family needs me, but am enjoying my 'little' hobby immensely. All of the designers, digitizers and members of HOE contribute to my hobby and enjoyment. My job is extremely stressful, I work 2nd shift and generally read most postings after work, so this is also my wind down time.
I purchase when I can and appreciate all of the hard work and talent that goes into all aspects of this business. You are all appreciated!! Jo
