Just wanted to post a picture of the Valentines I embroidered for my 10 year daughters classmates and teachers. There are 29 in all. Not all are valentine designs as I thought some of the boys might frown on that. We are hoping her friends will use them as bookmarks. I had to do some searching through my design stash because I only have a 4 x 4 hoop; and not all designs would work. I just stitched them on some very heavy stabilizer then backed them with more in the final step; they measure approx 2 1/2 x 4. This gives a whole new meaning to "homemade valentines" I do love your site and all the freebies you so very generously give away. I do purchase the sets I really want because sometimes you just can't wait for them to come up on the hourly free designs and hunt. Keep up the good work. Keep on stitching....Edith

I just wanted to commend you on a job well done!

Not only are these beautiful but they reflect of a lot of heart-felt effort.
What a thoughtful thing for you to do.

Good Job!

Great job!

They remind me of when I was little and my mom helped me make valentines for my classmates out of paper lace and crepe paper ruffles she'd made on the old 1930s sewing machine. A few of the recipients remember those valentines and a couple still have them after all these decades.

Gifts from the heart are best. I'm sure these will be remembered for many years.

Fantastic!
