Hi Devon, It might be a race that you are so excited about that we got four identical messages. ;-)
I think you must be the first with a sample (other than the sample designer -- me). I'm relieved to know that someone has managed to finsih the sample and that my directions didn't cause a giant snafu. One small point, very insignificant -- I believe that Richard the web site guru is a Plimoth employee, and that the First Gentleman Embroiderer is a different person. His name is Tim, and he does indeed seem a very accomplished embroiderer. The word is that the kits have been going very quickly, so if anyone on Arachne would like one, call Kathy at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 508-746-1622 X 8114. And Devon, your sample looks terrific.
