Betty's Bonnets:

Beautiful!!!! Thanks for sharing. I have some of the designs from Anne the Gran (many moons ago) I tried them when I was VERY new at machine embroidery & my thread kept on snapping Perhaps now that I am 'older' at embroidery i will try again

At one time some of these were free at Ann the Gran it has been awhile

The ones at ATG were for the 4x4 hoop, it was necessary to purchase the 5x7. I did get the months, days of the week, and a file of miscellaneous to have the best selection.

these are beautiful..

Awesome set! What a special gift for your friends!! Please do share the final project. I would love to see how she finishes it. Great job!!

Thanks for the design info and especially about your friend - please share the finally project with us, too. *4U

What a wonderful friend you are. She is going to be so surprised with these. I'm sure she won't be able to wait to get on this quilt project. Thanks for sharing

Love them all. I have them but found that some were not embroidering out terribly well. Was making some myself too, but just no time and forgotten how to do so now lol. think she will be thrilled

Same problem with some. Stabilized the fabric with dissolved WSS and then used a heavy tear away on the back. These were digitized quite a while ago so some of the knowledge we have today doesn't apply, but loved the super designs and they were worth the extra work.

Nice way to stay connected with your friend. Like the special birthday cake with the "70" in candles.

What a great idea and this made it a very personal present :o)
Greetings, Bettina

great job
