A dear lady I know lost her husband last year and I saw her yesterday and she told me she bought herself an embrodiery machine to have something to occupy her time at home and is having so much fun making things for her grandkids. She said she never liked to sew but she loves the embroidery machine. I gave her the box of design cds today and she was thrilled. She only had the ones that came as a gift with machine purchase. She called me later today and said so far she had no problem using them and already has more projects in mind that will take her years to do. I told her I know exactly how that was! I know she'll enjoy them. :-D
