I collected lots of fun advent, etc. designs during the whole month of December from a variety of embroidery designs. I do not digitize, so this is a huge gift to me and very much appreciated. Please BE SURE to thank those you collect these free designs from. A lot of their time goes in to each and every design and a thank is greatly appreciated.

Please also keep in mind, If no purchase once in a while, they may eventually go out of business as so many have. Income is needed to pay for the cost of a website. Nothing wrong with grabbing a freebie once in a while as long as you send them a order occasionally that requires cold cash.

But, make it clear that you do not need a reply to your thank you. Time really is money and if you watch Sonia Showalter or Basketkase (Vicki) or Sue/Spendlove or Miss Veronica here on Cute, they have to be crazy busy people to accomplish so much. Another way to thank is to make a purchase!
