Announcement    Welcome to xtdesigns, the shop for all your lovingly hand embroidered pillows, embroidered wall hangings, ornaments, etc.

I want to send an extremely warm and heartfelt thank you to all my past, present and future buyers. You have no idea what your orders mean to my tiny family and I. You help me pay the bills and put food on the table. If it wasn't for you, I don't know if we could get by.

I can no longer find the velvet that I used previously for the backs of pillows. Other velvets are not the same quality and have a tendency to stretch slightly. I am now using a faux suede. I have a few colors available. Please contact me for color options.

Please understand, due to the high amount of orders I get in my shop, I must accept orders in the order in which they are paid. What that means, is if you send me an inquiry and while we are working things out or you are deciding if you want to go ahead with the order and another customer puts in and pays for an order, I must take the other customer first. I know that this may seem unfair and I realize there are deadlines and that the majority of these pillows are gifts and are needed by a certain date. If I get an order before you place your order and the other customer is flexible with their time frame, then of course I am more than happy to re-organize when I start your pillow. I thank you for your understanding and patience. (If you have any questions about this, please feel free to ask!)

Once again this holiday season, I had to turn away a large number of buyers due to the fact that I had a huge number of orders to fill. Please keep in mind that embroidering and sewing pillows takes a lot of time. With that being said, I want to invite potential and future customers to place their Holiday orders as early as they like. It is never too early to place an order for the next Holiday Season.

If you are interested in placing an order, please convo me for my availability and an estimated time frame. I appreciate all inquiries and interest. Thank you to all of you for your understanding and patience. Feel free to convo me with your ideas and requests. I am happy to give you an estimated start date. Of course, this does not only apply to holiday orders, but it is for orders throughout the year. The earlier you get in touch, the more likely it is that I can create your order.

Starting 1/26/11 I am requiring advance payment for all custom orders. That means I will give you a price and make you your own listing for what you order. Please DON'T purchase a pillow and then convo me about specifications. Any orders that are carried out in this way will not be honored. Please convo me first so we can discuss exactly what you want and I can give you a price. I will not begin work on any items unless they are paid in full first.
