Customer Feedback

"Just to say how delighted I am with my completed Counting Sampler. I worked it on 16 count fabric, and have had it framed in a bright red frame, cheerful for my daughter's nursery. Baby expected any time!
The instructions were easy to follow, and chart very well laid out.
Thankyou"

"The red B15 marker pins arrived safe and sound this morning ... they are
beautiful - exactly what I wanted!! Thank you SO much for making them for
me   :-)
(they will make life so much easier now - I have no problems with my cross
stitch, but sometimes quite a lot of problems just finding the right place to
start .. a common problem by all accounts)

Thanks again!"

D.W (Lincolnshire, UK) - October 2006

"Many thanks for the quick delivery of the chart book." (Aphrodite design)
"Am absolutely delighted with it, and have ordered fabric and threads I didnt
have this afternoon. Hopefully will be able to make a start early next week.
I am hoping this is the design that will give me back my stitching inspiration!"

P.T (Middlesbrough, UK) - April 2006

"Aphrodite arrived today and I just wanted to say WOW the packaging design is FANTASTIC!!!! I have no fears of losing any details when I get to start stitching. I had a quick look through the instructions and you've done something I don't think all designers grasp the concept of and that is make them idiot proof without making the reader feel stupid.

Thanks very much for an excellent service. Oh and if everyone doesn't buy this, they certainly want their heads examining!!!!"

"Just a quick email to let you know that the counting pins arrived safely this morning and they're absolutely gorgeous and so much prettier than the picture shows them to be. I'll be using mine in the next few weeks when I start on a large Cat kit for my next door neighbour and I have a feeling they'll save me a lot of unpicking thanks to my lousy counting. :-)"

It turned out absolutely perfectly and has been admired by one and all. It's a terrific design and looks just enchanting.

"Thank you very much for the chart wich I received today. It has been very friendly of you to enclose the bookmark charts because of the extra money. I think the chart is very clear and will be a pleasure to work with.  I made already the one from Anchor and this one is a nice complementary one. Again thank you for the very fast service and maybe we "meet" again in the future. Yours sincerely."

"I received the Elizabethan Sampler chart this past week, and before I even begin to work on it, I want to thank you for its lucid design. It is difficult as a shopper to be unable to have a look before I buy, but that is the nature of the Internet, and the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. I am certainly relieved that the sampler was charted for clarity."

M.H (USA) - Nov 1999

"Thank you, the order arrived this morning - very quick! Thanks again for your prompt attention. I love the charts."

Mrs N.B (UK) - Oct 1999

"Hello!!! I just wanted to know that I recieved the leaflets today. I am soo excited!! I am going to try and squeeze a trip to the needle work store and get white linen and black thread. . . . Thank you for the beautiful designs. Keep new ones coming!!!"
