"Dear Emilie,
Your crochet blanket arrived in our home this afternoon in beautiful condition. It is gorgeous indeed. My wife loved it on sight and holding it to inspect was not disappointing in any respect. She told me it was technically well made and beautiful in terms of colors and design.
She sews herself. She made all her own work clothes for decades, sewed a quilt, and made collage fabric wall hangings. She has wonderful artistic expression with fabrics and threads. What she can not do is knitting, or crochet styles of work. She has just won first place awards in statewide competitions for her incredible embroidery expressions. So, when she is impressed with someone else's artwork, she does indeed understand the artistry and work behind it. Even I do, as a result, which is why I wanted you to know all this.
All those months of work on this have created something very special for our family and heirs, it is very much loved, and we thank you so much for your patient work to create it.
Bless you in all your future work,
[name redacted for privacy]"

"I ordered the pumpkin hats for my granddaughter's first birthday since the theme was pumpkins and rainbows! Emilie rushed the order and got it to us by the birthday. It is absolutely darling. I didn't think she could make a cuter beanie than the Christmas Tree beanie but she did!!! Thank you Emilie!!!"
