I have been making hand-made cards for many years, starting with drawings and paintings as a child, and for the past few years I have made all my greetings cards. As I learnt each new craft I put it into practice and my cards became more and more complex : many are now featured on D-D-Designs - click here if you would like to visit that site.

I had reached the point where it was so long ago since I had bought a card that I had no idea how much cards cost in the shops so when I went with my daughter to a card shop where she was buying a card and saw the prices I had a major shock! I knew that there were others out there who would also not be able to pay such prices but would love to be able to give beautiful cards so I went home and started sorting through my collection so that I could share some of them with you. I have also included some of the gifts I have made too.

The machine embroideries featured are all made for a small hoop so should be suitable for all embroidery machines: the maximum dimensions of the embroideries are 3½ x 4¾ inches, with many smaller, and although I have digitised them initially as SEW files, most are also available as PES, HUS, JEF and DST. If you need a different format just click here to email me and I will see what I can do to help.

Everything here is free for you to download, but please read and respect my Terms and Conditions (below.)


The designs on this web site have all been created by me and I hold and retain the copyright in all cases. I have used no clipart, all are based on my own drawings and art work. The cards and gifts were all made with love and hard work for my friends and family.

I am, however, happy for you to use them with my blessing, provided the following terms and conditions are met :

  • You may NOT sell any items made with these designs*. They were made as gifts and you must use them in the same way.

  • You may not distribute the designs or instructions in any way. If you want to tell anyone about them, please direct them to this website.

  • Please do not claim these designs as your own. Not only is this dishonest (and you will have to live with your conscience) it is also breach of copyright and therefore illegal.

* The only exception I am willing to make to the ban on selling is where items are to be made as fund-raisers for charities (e.g. for church bazaars, school fairs, etc.) If you wish to use them for these, please email me first (click here) and I will grant you written permission.


Hands And Heart is now (October 2009) being hosted - FREE - by 000Webhost.com.

Bravenet (who are otherwise excellent), are now restricting free file storage space to 5 MB, and as this site is already 16.4 MB that's not a lot of use to me, and geocities - where I first started out - are disappearing altogether at the end of this month.
