Marian, I have grandchildren (twins) named Connor and Elizabeth. I'd like to purchase the "C" Africa alphabet pattern, but would also like an "E." You indicated that you could knock one out if requested. Please let me know if you can supply an "E" in the African pattern - and when you might have it completed. Thanks so much. I really enjoy your newsletters and your Web site. DG. (JUL 2008)

The stained glass tennis racket and ball was more than we could have hoped for. JD. (JUL 2008)

Oh you must keep going, your patterns are so fab. xx SG (AUG 2008)

Hi there, i enjoy your site very much. I'm new to making window clings, love the kitchen door panel, with three leaves. Plan to order from home. PM (AUG 2008)

Got it, thanks!! I love the patterns on your site. Just discovered it last night in my never-ending search for good glass patterns. I'll be back! SS (AUG 2008)

Good morning....I chose the second pattern that you made. I already ordered it and paid with PayPal. Thank you so much and know that I'll be back. Your site is the easiest to use !   Have a great day !!   R (AUG 2008)

Thanks! I just happen to stumble across your web and I will be ordering from you in the future! D (AUG 2008)

Marian, I can't stay away from your site. I always find what I want. Thanks. CB (SEP 21 08)

Dear Marian, I see why you are a successful pattern person. I was totally surprised and pleased when I saw your design. I am having my son and daughter-in-law approve it and will order it as soon as I hear from them. Thanks so much, AB (OCT 8 2008).

........and you are soooooooooooooooo amazing! Thanks! Dr. MBG (OCT 10 2008).

Thanks, Marian. I've opened up the pattern successfully. I'll be sure to let you have a photo of what I do with it, and I'll read the newsletters. Thank you so much for this. It looks lovely on your site, but when you see it 'in the flesh' it is absolutely stunning. Thank you very much. JP (OCT 29 2008)

Marian, First, thanks for all your hard work! Ok just some small things. It's only actually the second "i" character in philia that has an accent. After looking at it again, it might be best to omit it completely. Also, I agree with you that the three fit well together, but I also like the boxier agape that you sent before. The only problem is that the final character is an omega and not the "n" looking character. I'd like to purchase that design as well (with the correct spelling) and make it a separate piece that can go maybe in the bedroom or dining area...and also as a fail-safe in case making all three pieces presents more challenges than intended. Thank you for sending the payment information, I was wondering how that worked. Never in my life have I had someone work so hard for me for $8. I feel truely blessed! MS (NOV 11 08)

Hi, I just found your web site. I ordered some patterns of letters so I could make a stained glass window to donate to an auction. The auction is for L'Arche, an organization that provides wonderful homes for mentally disabled people. The theme for their auction this year is ALOHA, and I thought your "Ornamental Alphabet" letters would be perfect to spell out the word. I hope I have your permission to use your patterns for this auction. I really like some of your patterns and hope I have more opportunities to use them. Thanks, DM. P.S. I also took the free pattern for Marian, since that is my sister's name, too! (DEC 02 08)

Signed up on your web site Thanks. Would like to order "This is the Day the Lord has made var2 and Love Tennis. My wife M. loves to play tennis. We retired to the mountains of Western NC. and stay active ....... Prison Ministry. Took up stained glass as a hobby and use the patterns for gifts to friends and those in need of encouragement. God Bless and Have a Christ filled Christmas. FW. ps. What a gift you have in designing these patterns. (DEC 9 08)

Hello Marian; Thank you for your prompt reply to my query. I have had a quick look at the designs you have sent. Wonderful! I look forward to looking more closely at them over the next few days and pulling some ideas together. Thank you for your offer to work with us. We will reply with some of our ideas. We are very excited about this project. Blessings; ~RL (DEC 04 08)

Thank you! They are lovely and that was very fast! JH (DEC 30 08)

Perfect, thank you Marian, I will send you pictures of the glass when I install it in mom’s bathroom window. Best regards, .......
Thank you Marian, I will take the candidate stained glass to church this Sunday and start socializing them with the congregation. It will probably take several weeks before they reach a consensus. Thank you for the offer. I will keep you posted. DL (JAN 15 09)

Hi Marian, Yes, I received your patterns successfully and am anxious to try one of them. I am currently working on your sunflower pattern and once I have completed it I will send you a photo. You have a wonderful web-site ---- I love going through all of the designs. Have you created all of them? SS (JAN 17 2009)
THANKS SS, yes they are mine, except for the ready made window clings which belong to http://funkywindowart.co.uk. mm

Well Hi there Marian (MM like the candy!) ...Thank you so much for the color version! I really like the fact that the colors vary, just like the glass...gives me a much better idea of how to go about the hair. I absolutely love the patterns you have available and I will be sure to order more in the future. And this email method is just so easy! Take care and I hope to chat again! SH (JAN 26 09)

Hello Marian, I *love* your Ornamental Letters patterns, and have sent you a message through the website inquiring about a custom design (I'm a newbie taking my second glass class, and need a simplified version). Sure appreciate the custom patterns option! Looking forward to hearing more from you, LC (JAN 27 09)

This is the transum window over our front door I made from a pattern I found on PDQ. Marian customized the house numbers for us. It was perfect. I took this from inside, its too cold to go outside to take pictures today :) You get the idea. Many more pictures to come in a week or so from projects from Marian's patterns. They are the easiest to use that I have found online, and she is always willing to customize for me. I love her site, can you tell?? :) RB (FEB 23 2009)
Thanks very much for the wonderful words, and the transum looks great (BTW, I did a horizontal flip in photoshop.... so it looks like you took the pix from the outside) Can't wait to see more. mm

Hello again : ) I loved the first pinecone pattern, just went and bought it and several others. You are amazing ! Thank you ! Paid with PayPal of course, but I forgot, are those all for download or ? Let me know ...have a great day !! RB (FEB 23 09).

I browsed your ENTIRE website today!!! I love it! I do counted cross stitch and wrote down almost 50 designs to have you send me. I am interested in ordering CD's of the designs with whatever hints for making them up in cross stitch that you can provide, such as dmc colors etc if you have that info. Even if you don't, I'll match them myself. I'm so excited! I wonder if you have ever seen a copy of a stained glass design called "Cathedral Rose". It is available as a crochet afghan, but I want to do it in cross stitch (0f course!). Any suggestions? Keep up the great website!! Dr. LC (FEB 23 09).
It was a real challenge to create this pattern BUT I think the results are spectacular. 16 individual color pdf files with portions of this giant counted cross stitch pattern. See it by clicking HERE.

Hi Marian I've just downloaded your pfd with CH and that was fantastic - just what I wanted. You are brilliant. Many thanks Regards JH (FEB 24 09).

Hi Marian. I was having a discussion with a young friend of mine yesterday... encouraging her to look into some glass work. She was very impressed by some of my projects, so I got onto your site to show her your pictures. You've got the new one up there!!!!!! Thank you so much, Marian. I love all of the help and guidance that you provide, AND I love that you help me to display these things to my people. (family, friends, etc.) Thank you, thank you. Have a wonderful day, Marian. RL (MAR 3 2008).

My (M) has played just about 3 times a week all this year. Made the LOVE with the tennis ball in the middle for the Tennis groups annual luncheon to be used as a door prize. The committee loved it and may do a silent auction instead. Hope to make this design for M's bday 5/21. God bless FW (APR 4 2009)

Hi, I love your site and might want to purchase one of your lovely patterns. I'm new to this and am wondering how I'd get the pattern to be the size I need?? Thanks much, JR (APR 14 2009)
Thanks for the kind words. To get a pattern made to a custom size, just purchase the pattern normally, BUT in the comment line, tell me the exact dimensions that you desire. Then when I send the black and white pdf file by email, it will be the size you want. best, mm

Hi Marian.... this looks lovely, I am so happy that I found your site. Your quick response and helpful attitude is invaluable to people like me who can't draw, you have a talent that I would love to have and I thank you very much, I will send your payment via paypal, please advise me of cost. I look forward to working with you in the future. Kindest regards....JC (APR 22 2009)
Thanks you JC. This pushed me to a new level, and with a little research and delving into my Corel Draw program and a tip from Dennis Casey of Prairie Designs, I have a methods for making custom lamp patterns thats quite precise. and pretty easy. Stretching feels good. I also did a mock up of the finished product with Corel Draw and Photoshop. To see it click HERE mm

Im really excited about trying these patterns...thank you for making it easily accessible and mostly for your kindness. SH (APR 27 2009)

Marian, I have ordered it. I am so thrilled with it. Thanks so very much. I just can't believe it was only $2.00. I would have paid much more for it. I will certainly order from your site again. Will you be having patterns for ornaments on the tree. Thanks again. Sue I will send you a copy when I'm done. My grandson wants the car in yellow even though I like the red. I'm sure it will look good in yellow also. SK (MAY 5 2009)
SK, thanks for the nice words, click HERE to see the pattern, mm

Even if it is too late to get the free design for the review I have to tell you this design is AWESOME. I showed it to my stained glass buddy and she who is dead set on not having anything that may not let all the light come in; ABSOLUTELY FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS DESIGN. It is definitely on my to do list. Even if I have to just hang it from the ceiling w/o a window...hehe. JT (MAY 21 2009)
Such nice comments, thank you for them. To see this pattern click HERE.

WOW...ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE ALPHABET..YOU HIT ME RIGHT ON TARGET ...LOVE THE DAISY IN THE ALPHABET. THINKING HOW EACH GRANDCHILD WOULD LIKE THEIR INITIALS. NEVER WANTED TO DO A SUNSET/SUNRISE UNTIL THIS ONE. I AM NEW AT STAINED GLASS. THANKS FOR HAVING SOMETHING I WILL ATTEMPT. IT IS A SHAME I HAVE TO WORK WITH SUCH MUCH POSSIBILITY OUT THERE IN STAINED GLASS. HEHE LF (MAY 21 2009).

Please add me to your newsletters list. I have looked at a number of them already and really like what you are doing. Thank you very much. CR (June 8 2009).
Hi CR. I use an email list, and a commercial listserv.Also, on your own you can access any of the previous newsletters either from the top of the website, or the left hand column box. Thanks for your interest in the site. mm

Thank you, Marian. The patterns downloaded just fine. I'll be able to start on it today. This is so convenient! I love it! Have a great day. JA (June 10 2009).

Marian. Of course, you can post my nice words on your testimonial page! I tell everyone I can about your site. Don't know why more people haven't found it on their own. CB (July 19 2009).
CB. I lost your lovely email, with all the nice compliments about the blue bonnet babies pattern. (LOL). Anyway, thanks for the nice words. mm

Marian. Absolutely wonderful! Is it easy enough to put her into a circle or oval background like you mentioned? If you don't mind, and it isn't too much trouble, I would love to see it like that. Thank you so much - you are wonderful! I will be back and I will spread the word on what a wonderful site you have and the wonderful things you do. TH (July 21 2009).

Hello Marian, I just received my patterns this morning, thank you so much for doing it this way, I am new to the computer world and I don't own a printer yet.the patterns on your site are fantastic and I am so glad I literally stumbled across it while playing on the computer. I have been doing stained glass for about a year now and I'm just loving it I am going to take the name of your site and put it up in the glass shop where I took the course, if you don't mind,once again, thank you so very much for being so accommodating. I just gave my husband a check to mail for the amount. regards,P (July 27 2009).
CB. Having patterns made a custom size and going to kinko's or staples turns out to be just as economical as enlaring with xerox, and its a whole lot cleaner with thinner lines. Best, and thanks for the nice words, mm

I opened them - thanks, Marian. I have bought from you before and I still say you have the best patterns on the internet. I am almost done with a 405 piece glass panel. Your Chinese peace pattern will be next and considerably easier! Thanks also for the freebie. SS (Aug 8 2009).
SS. I appreciate your kind comments, they make my day. mm

Hi - I love your patterns. Many are simiple enough for beginners but still are beautful Cant wait to have more time to do more of them. I would love to see more patterns that are wine and grape related. So many people are into this theme and would like to have more variety of patterns to choose from as I am finding they are difficult to find.. Thanks and have a great day.. DN (Aug 16 2009)

Hi, this is the first time that I order patterns from you. I am very excited about it. I have viewed your patterns and find them very original and different. LJ (Aug 26 2009)
LJ, thanks so much for the nice words, they help keep me moving ahead. mm

Marian, I love this pattern. You keep me inspired. CB (Aug 29 2009)
AND, you inspire me to continue making patterns in return. Thanks, mm.

I am very happy with the patterns, service and thank you for the extra patterns. I have a new list of patterns that I will be ordering. And the price is very good too. I am buying the patterns to do stained glass fabric wall hangings, place mats, table runners and the like. Your patterns are perfect for this. So I will be visiting your web site often. Thanks again for the wonderful patterns and good prices. Sincerely, JM (SEP 4 2009)
JM, thanks so much for the great ideas, can't wait to see the pix, mm

I am interested in your hebrew patterns. Particularly the dreidel patterns, but all of them are very beautiful. How much would it cost to have those patterns made for cross stitch? Thank you DS (SEP 5 2009)
THANKS DS I can make them into cross stitch patterns - 2 bucks each

i love your work!!!! PK (SEP 9 2009)
THANKS for the nice comment. Freebie to you just email me.

I have found PDQ Patterns a wonderful stained glass pattern source in so many ways: fun and doable patterns, always something new and exciting, great for my students of every level, something for everyone, diversity of subjects, free patterns, great prices. I check this site 2 or three times a week and look forward to the newsletter. CB (OCT 6 2009)
CB. Thanks for the really wonderful comments, and positive response to the PDQenews newsletter, which is sort of a way I connect with the "ultimate reality" as a seeker. Best and blessings. mm

Believe it or not I don't do stained glass even though I adore it. I > was wondering if it's possible to convert your glass patterns into > needlework patterns - i.e., needlepoint, bargello embroidery etc..... > > I am determined to find a way to do this for your patterns are just > wonderful! > > God Bless! RBS (OCT 7 2009)
Thanks for the kind comments... I have figured out a way to quickly make these them into cross stitch patterns. I have a method for needlepoint also... but I am still experimenting with it.... send me a specific pattern request and lets see if it works. I have done it for two people so far, but they have not sent me comments. Basically I use a light weight clear transfer film to print the pattern on in reverse, then press it onto the needlepoint fabric using a heat transfer press. This isn't too different from hand painting them.... it leaves a very thin film which is easily penetrated by a needle and floss. I don't do much needle work, but there is one woman who uses something called Transgraph X for her cross stitch use of my patterns. I send them to her as pdf files (much the same as I do for stained glass). The only difference is that she tells me what the final size she wants the pattern to be so she doesn't have to enlarge or shrink it. As far as the other techniques, I don't really know what bargello is... so I don't know how to answer that question. I should go "google" it.
As for embroidery.... one could also do an online query about that.... I would guess there are some transfer papers made expressly for printing embroidery patterns and then ironing these printed patterns onto fabric. Let me know if you want to try something. I am always game for a new technique. best, mm

Hi, Your patterns are lovely. Thanks for sending...RK (OCT 7 2009)
As always, I really do need nice words about my stained glass patterns, they keep me going.

Beautiful! I love it. Can't tell you how much I appreciate this. How much do I owe you? And where do I send the check? CB (OCT 10 2009)
I appreciate your repeated business too, best, mm .

You are VERY, VERY kind and I've enjoyed "working" with you. I wish you and your business many blessings. When I look at your stained glass pieces I get all excited about having them converted to cross stitch. I will stay in touch and when I have about $10 worth, I'll make a payment. Just curious...where are you located? I live in VA, although I'm originally from NY. SL (OCT 13 2009).
Glad you like this custom cross stitch patterns made from tained glass pattern. mm.

Thanks, that's what I thought but wanted to make sure, that is a great price and I'm so excited about this (stained glass) pattern, it's beautiful and makes great gifts. HP (OCT 20 2009)
You are surely welcome. mm

....absolutely beautiful M. Let's go with this ... add some color and I will then take to Kinko's to print the actual size. You REALLY do nice work. CK (OCT 23 2009)
Thank you for saying so. I worked pretty hard on the stained glass pattern of Flowers and birds panel, it took me about 8 hours. Hopefully your customer will love it. mm

God Bless you. Wow 2 of them. You are just too sweet. Thank you so much!!!!!!! I will be buying more in the near future. L (NOV 1 2009).
No problem, I just hate it when the stained glass patterns get lost in spam folders and cyberspace or I forget to put the customer's name in the TO: line of the email (which has happened). My apologies, and of course I hope you like the free stained glass pattern for your trouble. mm

Marian, Fantastic! Better than I even imagined. Thank you so much. Going shopping now. SC (Nov2 2009).
Thanks for the nice words, also I love the way the word "the" came out in stained glass. mm

Thank you so much Marian. These are work in great. My boss did want to see if we could get a hold of the wisemen that would be really cool. Let me know what you can do. Thanks so much for everything. PS the pdf file worked fine. JP (Nov20 2009).
Jeremy, I enjoy doing free stained glass patterns for churhes, synagogs and temples and other places that encourage us all to be "one family" "one world" living in peace and harmony.

Hi Marian – thanks for sending the pattern. FYI – I’ll be using it for quilting instead of stained glass. What a terrific idea; I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of this before! And I’ll be sure to check out the other photos. I had great fun scrolling through your website yesterday. Good work! CH CH (Nov24 2009).
I am a quilter too, can't wait to see the pictures of your work.

Thank you for getting the pattern to me. I love so many of your patterns and will be back. AM (Nov30 2009).
You are a sweetheart for saying so. I hope you do come back. mm

Hi Marian, I am a little confused as to how to use your coupons that are attached to your newsletters (which I really enjoy ---- thanks). SP (Dec 4 2009.
Its easy. Just find a product that you like, write a product review on either website, gospelglass or PDQpatterns and then I will send the pattern....by email. Pretty good , eh... if you have trouble figuring out how to write a review... just ask, and thanks for the nice comments on the newsletter....I will post your question in case others are confused too... best, mm

Hi Marian - Wow! You get an A+ on customer service and efficiency! Thanks for sending the patterns so quickly. I opened them fine and appreciate the ease of the entire transaction. I will be visiting your site again! Thanks, S (01 05 2010)
Thanks so much for the nice words, mm

Marian I love your website and yes I will put a link to your address on mine. JM (Jan 17 10 )
And thanks so much for the glowing review of my service. mm

Thank you for getting these great designs to me so quickly. I have them all opened with no problem and now can play with colors and my beads. I am a bead artist and plan on beading these designs. Don't look to see them any time soon, it takes quite a while to bead projects this big. However, when I get them done, I will upload them to your gallery. Thank you, again. I really enjoyed looking over you website last night. Can't wait to start reading the newsletter. SB (Jan 18 2010 ).
SB, you have been so much help and so encouraging while I learn this new technique of making seed bead tiling patterns, I am very very appreciative. mm

I loved the (counted cross stitch) patterns, I think you're very talented. I think it takes you longer to make the charts online than to stitch them!!! I like all the dreidels both the traditional one I uprchased off you and the contemporary one. The contemporary one is fun and good colors for a child. Which do you like? JL (Jan 15 2010 )
Which counted cross stitch pattern do I like best? Hmm I like them both (LOL). Thanks for the "push" to do more patterns of various faiths. mm

Hi Marian - Wow! You get an A+ on customer service and efficiency! Thanks for sending the (stained glass ) patterns so quickly. I opened them fine and appreciate the ease of the entire transaction. I will be visiting your site again! Thanks, SP (Jan 05 2010).
More than welcome, and I strive to make the transactions easy and the stained glass and cross stitch and bead tile patterns beautiful, thanks. mm

Beautiful, Marian! Just in time for Easter. Done in transparent beads, it would make a lovely window ornament. I think you need to make some more to sell. SB (Jan 21 2010).
Again, your encouragement on bead tile diagrams means much to me, thanks. mm
What a great job you've done Marian and what a nice feeling one has now with the artwork. What do you say about trying to eliminate the front rail.
I think it'll open it up, make it less busy and show more of the Madonna.
Can we try that one? MR (Jan 24 2010)
Yes will do that, thanks. mm

M: you have such good ideas - I need to follow your lead. CK (Jan 30 2010).
U are too kind, thanks. mm

Well Marian, here he is in all his splender and glory, hanging in a custom made frame (by yours truly) above our bed. Thank you again so much for your hard work. Elliott brings a smile to my wife's face each time she looks at him. I am so happy to have a new friend. I do hope you will call us when you make it out to California. Thanks again and God bless. DK (Feb 8 2010).
Wasn't this a great project. Elliot, Pete's dragon was a fun pattern to design, and the glass I chose to make the body and belly were really great finds. To have the repairs paid for from the shipping accident was even better, and that Disney recycled glass was incorporated made it a kind of small miracle in itself. Enjoyed working with you, and hopefully there will be other Disney panels I can provide for such a great group of people, thanks. mm.

Thank you for the fast service..I have downloaded the files successfully! SK (Feb 9 2010).
Thanks for mentioning this, I try really really hard to make my customer service the best ever.. mm
