Just finished 25 pairs of Patriotic Star earrings for our hospital dietary and environmental staffs. These ladies were thrilled to receive such a beautiful gift.
Hint for small projects, put a sieve in your sink for rinsing-keeps all the small treasures from getting in the drain.

With every design, I am confident of the outcome: classic, beautiful….perfect! Thank you for the freebies; what a gift for us. My favorites have been everything ‘Christmas’, the Fairy Crown group, and the ‘Pearl’ designs. I even copied the dotted guest towel ‘S’ and my results was exactly like your sample picture. Many blessings to you for your generosity and sharing your talents & gifts. Looking forward to your inspirations in the coming months and years.

the baby girl rattle is beyond beautifully digitized. stitches beautifully. so much attention to detail. even the curvature of the rattle balls is amazing. My first Sonia Showalter Design my first every testimonial on an embroidery design. Definitely will be checking her site FIRSTfor designs.

I want to thank you for all the lovely designs I have ordered
You do such beautiful work love how they stitch out so pretty.
And thank you for all the freebies you give us well appreciated
I am going to stitch enough enough Angels for a small tree this
coming Christmas. I wish you could do one for a husband who passed
away a couple months ago. I miss him so much. I would love one on
the tree. But don't know if that is possible just a thought.
I have got quite a few and love anyone and plan on ordering some
more everyone is beautiful. Thank you again I will be ordering
again soon. Mona

I love your designs. I want to thank you for all the hard work you put into making them so perfect. I have followed you for many years now and have many of your designs. I have stitched a number of them sewing your designs onto gifts. Your designs are extra special to me and the gift receiver. Thank you, thank you.

Sonia and Gary,
I enjoy embroidery very much. Your Designs are AMAZING! I love to sit and watch every detail stitching out and no matter how many times I watch the work being done by my machine, it is you that have taken time to make designs with such detail, there usually is few or no jumps(which is amazing).
When I count my blessings, I count you two. I pray that God blesses you with health, happiness and a wonderful long life.

Keep up the great work,
Valerie Bassett
P.S.
I do have a thought or idea that I will share with you later.

I am never disappointed with these designs. They are first rate!

Your designs are gorgeous and a pleasure to work on! I really appreciate your freebies too! Thank you!

I do not know how to thank you for all the designs you have given me. Your work is perfect. I love looking at all your designs and I wish I could be just half as good as you. Thank you so much

I just loved your designs. They stitch out beautifully. I am such a fan of your FSL designs. My favorites are the FSL Angel of Light series as well as the FSL earrings, so beautiful. I stitched out a pair of the turkey earrings for my girlfriend and myself! We both get such compliments. I also just received some Cotton Creations premium flour sack towels to make the hair wrap! Thank you for creating such beautiful designs.

these designs are amazing and beautiful - was wondering if you could purchase the entire alphabet series instead of only the individual letters - would love to have all 26 on hand to use s needed

I love the designs you make , they stitch out wonderful. I have never had a problem with any of the ones I have gotten. Thanks for the free fonts

Had a problem with my account (my fault). Got a call in very short order and the issue was resolved. VERY happy with customer service.
Thank you

The machine sounded so great while it stitched the Baroque Border! Sonia is an amazing artist!

These are absolutely beautiful!!!! I have several in my "Wish List". I am starting my Christmas stuff early so this year I can be ready!!!

Note to self:

When rinsing the White Christmas Angel, make sure you are holding the extra snowflake or put the stopper in the drain before rinsing.

Your designs are really beautiful. I love them. Everytime I make something with one of your designs, it is a big succes.

Absolutely wonderful find, shall enjoy sewing I love the FSL borders, just what I wanted…… more please

I am their biggest fan! The designs stitch out to perfection with hardly a jump stitch.

Bonjour Sonia,
je trouve vos dessins absolument magnifiques j'ai réalisé la couronne et c'est une vraie réussite, depuis je ne résiste pas à regarder et acheter des modèles - je regrette de ne pas avoir trouvé votre site plus tot !!!
Pour l'instant je fais des petites nappes...
un grand merci

(Google Translation). Hello Sonia,
I find your drawings absolutely beautiful I made the crown and it is a real success, since then I can not resist looking and buying models - I regret not having found your site sooner !!!
For now I'm making small tablecloths ...
a big thank-you

I used the once upon a time. And the happily ever after to record my niece’s sorry for her engagement...she LOVED it. Thank you

Hello Sonia, I purchased a few of your FSL Earrings, the owls, turkeys, birthstone hearts and small birthstone hearts. I've been stitching them out all morning, and I have to say, they are all so beautiful......I was able to put no less than 4 sets on each 4X4 hooping, and there was no distortion at all as they stitched out. Thank you so much for taking the time to create such extraordinary designs for us.

OMG! These angels are breathtaking! I am having such fun creating my Christmas Gifts. Thank you so much for taking the time to design such majestic designs.

There is not enough time to sew out all my Sonia's designs for Christmas. I have a tackle box brimming with flash drives of patterns I have purchased over the years. Gary has been most helpful when I have had a question- responding within a day. Right now I'm making the Christmas angel set of three for very special people. Thanks, Sonia and Gary

We just can't quit watching the gorgeous trees sew out on the Haunted House
Earrings. They are so tiny, so artistic, so lovely, so real!
Thank you for all the work you do to create beautiful fonts.... and then
for goodness sake, you GIVE them to us! Been enjoying this hobby since 1993,
and you are my very favorite designer.
The only thing more fun is being over 80 and my other hobby, riding
a motorcycle.
Must go now. I need to go sew out Pumpkin Earrings like I did last year.
(They are beautiful, too.)
Thanks, again, Sonia. Wink R. Nashville TN

The designs are absolutely wonderful! Stitched out flawlessly!

There is absolutely no one can beat the beautiful work that Sonia does. I rarely go to anyone else's pages for embroidery designs because I LOVE everything of Sonia's and I always find exactly what I am looking for. You can see and feel the love Sonia puts into her embroidery designs. By the way Sonia, your little girls are so adorable. I am sending my love and prayers to you and your family. Stella

Want to thank you Sonia for all the Pearl Border Alphabet designs plus many other designs you have given to many of us. All these designs are beautiful.

У Вас прекрасные, изящные вышивки. Выполнены с большим вкусом и чистотой. Спасибо за Ваше творчество.

You have beautiful, elegant embroideries. Made with great taste and cleanliness. Thank you for your creativity.

Your designs are very beautiful and stitch out lovely! I actually have a question. What brand of thread do you use or recommend? and also what color did you use on the last design the Pearl Border accent? I am not very good with colors and your choice is always so elegant. Would you share that. This is the only way that I know how to contact you. Thank you so much.

Sonia, the Gabriel Angel is nothing short of exquisite!!! All of your Angels are absolutely beautiful but Gabriel is in a class all his own.
I just stitched it out and I'm getting ready to do another in a different color.
You are the premiere embroidery designer and worthy of all accolades attributed to you.
Thank you for all the hard work you do to create these designs. I love them all!!!

The designs on this site are absolutely GORGEOUS! They stitch out so very well and look exactly like the pictures! When I want something very UNIQUE, this is my number 1 site. I have purchased many designs and have loved everyone of them! Good work guys!!!!!

I have been a huge fan of Sonia's for years. I don't even remember how I first heard about her but have been so grateful over the years for all the wonderful designs. She is generous to a fault. So many free designs and each and every one of her designs are perfect. I have been giving her angels to my friends for Christmas, for years and years. They always wait anxiously every year for the new angel to arrive. It is so wonderful to know that I don't have to do a trial stitch out of anything she produces.
My most sincere thanks to her for all she creates and shares with us. I pray that she and her family will be blessed with health and happiness as we cope with the current isolation during this pandemic.

I would like to Thank you for the Angel of Light (cancer Edition). I learned a short time ago that a friends fiancé was told she had ovarian cancer. She had surgery in Sept. I asked him if I could make her a Cancer Angel and he said yes she would love it. I made the cancer edition angel. I did the dress in off white underneath and white on top and then did the ribbon in the color for the cancer. I was so happy with how it came out. I hope it gives her strength to make it through this with Gods help. Thank you again so much for the pattern. I have a picture of it on my cell phone but don't know how to send it to you.
May God be with you and keep his hands on you and your family.

Thank You for another Beautiful Design--A Beautiful Card to printout! All your embroidery designs stitch out perfect and now we have cards too.

I have: I enjoyed all that I have purchased but I have a question: Do you have any instructions on making lace like the crowns I bought the instructions for.

EVERYTHING I HAVE PURCHASED AND SEWN OUT PERFECTLY. LOVE THESE DESIGNS

Your designs are the best. Just finished 2 projects using your designs.

Once you stitch one of her designs you will be delighted. She has few if any jump stitches, they are gorgeous and a pleasure to use over and over.

When I have a embroidery design idea, I go to Sonia's first. They stitch out perfectly every time. The FL and alphabet letters have a good stitch base. Thank You Sonia for opening a new world of embroidery to me.

Everything that I have from Sonia has stitched out wonderfully. I would buy her whole website if I could afford. Very classy designs.

I have many, many of Sonia's designs. All of them stitch out Beautifully. Any one considering Sonia's designs ..... just do it. You won't regret it.

Sonia’s embroidery designs are gorgeous and stitch out beautifully

I laugh every time I stitch out one of Sonia’s designs. There will be a small skipped spot and I get real nervous thinking something is wrong but, as always, as the design continues, it covers the spot. Every one of Sonia’s designs stitch out beautifully!!! Always better that anyone else’s!

Sonia,
I have purchased several of your angels. I'm giving them away for Christmas gifts.
I have contacted you several times about problems I have had. You responded almost immediately and of course it turns out it was operator error
Thank you for these beautiful designs. They stitch out perfectly.
May God bless you for your work.

I really respect your comment about not putting a loop up top the Angels. You are right, God does control our everyday when we let Him lead. Thank you for admitting you know Who to follow.

always sew out beautifully

Dear Sonia, your designs are amazingly beautiful. May God continue to bless you and Gary. Hugs, Susan

Love all the designs. Always to perfection.
My favorites are the free standing lace.

Continue bringing us more designs. You are rocking it, Sonia.
