SPECIAL NOTICE
A LETTER FROM POLLY

Greetings, 

My name is Polly. For more than ten years I have created machine embroidery designs featuring Sunbonnet Sue and her best friend, Sam, and put them in a roll of funny little kids. A great deal of nostalgia has been mixed with the faceless characters that were originally done around the year 1900. Many quilts and other sewing items have been decorated using most (if not all) of my 750 creations - to my delight.

 I have given away thousands of free designs because you are not just customers, you are friends - email communications with my friends happens almost every day. My friends and the Sunbonnets have been great helpmates during tough times.

 It is now time to retire the web site (http://PolyDesigns.net). The last day of the web site will be on October 31, 2008 and my creations will continue in a much more confined and different form.

BUT... 

 You now have the one-time opportunity to purchase the whole collection, more than 750 original Sunbonnet Sue and Sam embroidery designs, for less than 14 cents each. They come on a CD with a picture of each design. Can you imagine all you can do with the whole collection? Upon the purchase of the designs, you will automatically be put on a mail list to receive 12 more brand new designs, one a month for 12 months. The one time purchase price is $100 (US).

 It has been fun!  But this is the time it must all end, October 31st. Your one-time opportunity to have the whole collection will not be repeated!  For 750 (+) top quality Sunbonnet embroidery designs, this is one you don't want to pass up!

  January
January's stone is the Garnet stone. 
Folklore:   Garnet's powers include healing, strength, and protection and it is often worn to relieve inflammations of the skin. It is also believed to regulate the heart and blood flow and aid in curing depression. In earlier times, garnets were exchanged as gifts between friends to demonstrate their affection for each other and to insure that they meet again.

February
February's stone is the Amethyst.
Folklore:  Legends say that amethyst can control evil thoughts, help hunters in the capture of animals and can make the owner shrewd in business matters.

March
March stone is Aquamarine.
Folklore:  Since early times, aquamarine has been believed to endow the wearer with foresight, courage, and happiness. It is said to increase intelligence and make one youthful. As a healing stone, it is said to be effective as a treatment for anxiety and in the Middle Ages it was thought that aquamarine would reduce the effect of poisons.

April
April's stone is clear crystal.
Folklore:  Historically, it has been claimed that the clear crystal or diamond possess several supernatural powers: The clear crystal gives victory to those who carry it bound on their left arm, no matter the number of enemies.  Panics, pestilences and enchantments all fly before it; hence, it is good for sleepwalkers and the insane.

May
May's stone is Emerald.
Folklore:  Emeralds were used as amulets to ward off epilepsy in children and thought to cure diseases of the eye. Folklore suggests that these stones will improve memory, intelligence, and enhance clairvoyance thus helping to predict future events. They are also worn to enhance love and contentment. Cleopatra prized emeralds above all other gems.

June
June's stone is Alexandrite.
Folklore:  This rare gemstone is named after the Russian Czar Alexander II (1818-1881), the very first crystals having been discovered in April 1834 in the emerald mines near the Tokovaya River in the Urals. The discovery was made on the day the future Czar came of age. Although alexandrite is a relatively young gemstone, it certainly has a noble history. Since it shows both red and green, the principal colors of old Imperial Russia, it inevitably became the national stone of Czarist Russia and was believed to protect the wearer from indecision.

July
July's stone is Ruby.
Folklore:   Rubies were believed to make the wearer wise, to bring love and to help protect their owners against all sorts of misfortunes.

  August
August's stone is Peridot.
Folklore:  It is thought to bring the wearer good luck, peace, and success,. Its powers include health, protection, and sleep. The advantages of peridot are to attract love and calm anger while also soothing nerves and dispelling negative emotions

September
September's stone is Sapphire.
Folklore:   Its powers include spiritual enlightenment and inner peace. Sapphire is believed to offer healing properties for rheumatism, colic, and mental illness. It is also considered an antidepressant and an aid to psycho kinesis, telepathy, clairvoyance and astral projection.

October
October's stone is White Opal.
Folklore:  Aids inner beauty, faithfulness and eyesight and helps recall past lives.

November
November's stone is Topaz.
Folklore:  During the Middle Ages topaz was thought to heal both physical and mental disorders and prevent death. The Greeks believed it had power to increase strength and to make its wearer invisible while the Romans believed it had power to improve eyesight. The Egyptians wore it as an amulet to protect them from injury.

December
December's stone is Turquoise
Folklore: Turquoise attracts money, success and love. Its powers include protection, healing, courage,  friendship, and luck. Relaxes the mind, and eases mental tension. Turquoise is sacred to many Native Americans and was carved in the shape of animals and birds. These carvings were placed in tombs to attract beneficial spirits and to guard the dead. Turquoise was also used by medicine men for healing and by warriors who fixed turquoise to the end of their bows to insure accurate shots.

WHAT???   A design for each state?  WOW!!!
What a great quilt idea.

The designs will not necessarily be mailed, they could be sent by e-mail.
 Shipping and handling is $3.50 
Due to the high cost of shipping from the US to any other country, I will be forced to send these designs by e-mail at the same cost of $35.00 (US) plus $3.50 shipping and handling.  If you are outside the US, you will not receive the CD in the mail. The designs will be transferred by e-mail.
That's less than 68 cents per design - UNBELIEVABLE!

Here's the deal:
 Get all 52 of these designs for $35.00 (U.S.) - add $3.50 for S & H.

How to order - You must let me know which designs you want, by their number. This can be done by a simple e-mail to me at  d-pavlakes@sbcglobal.net   Payment can be made through PayPal   or by personal check or money order.
