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 (JAN 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

Hi Marian - no need to make any adjustment to the order; we do need both versions and especially like the one with the border. We have a series of eight stained glass cross-themed panels (20"x24") for our church, Redeemer Lutheran Church, which is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America; we recently received a donation from the family of our first musical director to create another panel in his honor. The ELCA recently published a new worship hymnal, and the embossed logo on the burgundy cover is almost identical to your Galilean Cross. What a perfect fit! We will definitely send you a photo when the Galilean stained glass cross panel is completed and dedicated. Thank you for your participation in this beautiful new gift for our worship center! D (FEB 10 20)

Hi. Boy!! you are speedy I didn't expect it for a week or so. It looks fantastic to me. I will show it to my friend and we will go from there. I am on my way to buy new ink cartridge so I can print it out for her to OK so it may be awhile before I answer and purchase it. Thanks, great work as always. M (MAR 9 2010)
It turned out to be a cute cowboy stained glass pattern didn't it!! SEE IT HERE. mm

Marian - I have received the pattern ..beyond my expectations! Thank you so much! I have been doing stained glass for 16 years - and this is by far the easiest and best service I have ever received in obtaining patterns! (The whole crew at Delphi glass is pretty awesome too) I will check out the web page as your suggestion. I have a deadline to meet with this window - so I better get moving. Thank again for your assistance. Awesome!!! I am so excited! SOH (MAR 31 2010)
I really appreciate the nice words.... mm

Hi Marian, I love your work! Can you please tell me how to download the new poppy pattern? I want it on my computer so I can re-size it. Thank you and thanks for your beautiful work. JR (APR 10 2010).
...and OF COURSE... thanks for the nice words, INFO-- patterns are not for automatic download as I send them all be reply email... mm

I love your site. I plan on purchasing some of your patterns. I am taking a stain glass course and loving every minute of it. I plan to some day start a business of my own. AW (APR 21 2010).
oh thanks very much, ...if you are planning an online business its a headach but lots and lots of fun, mm

Hi - I successfully opened both patterns. I tried to write a review on the glass cat but it would only let me read the exsisting reviews. Thanks so much for your website. It is fun to browse and easy to use -- ML (MAY 3 2010)
Thanks for the nice words, FOR THAT INFO TO ALL-- writing reviews is easy, just click on a product, then on the lower left there is a button.. if it says "read the reviews" click on it, and then on the page that comes up, there is another icon for "write a review", if the inital button says "write a review" just click on that. Have a great day, and thanks, mm

Thanks for the prompt reply. I love your designs! The Eye of the Sparrow is wonderful. DW (MAY 6 2010).
thanks, have a good one, mm (ps click HERE and HERE and HERE to see the sparrow patterns) mm

Thank you, Marian :) I received the attachments and the 16x30 letter size works perfect for my needs. Some of the previous patterns I have worked with were not of this high quality (no blurring or stretched lines here). You really do wonderful work! I have also taken some time to read a couple of your latest newsletters.... they were a joy to read :) L (MAY 13 2010).
thanks for the nice comments, ... as for corel draw 4... this is great... i think i can save back to that version... and then you can play with the vector files.... just let me know.... best, to you and thanks for the links and advice.... chat again soon... mm

I did open the patterns and they were all great. Thanks so much, just found your website, but will be back often! BC (MAY 16 2010),
mm

Thank you so much. I really wanted to do a monogram. I just completed my order and yes $3 is a ridiculous steal for a custom piece. I will def be back. THANKS NM (MAY 17 2010).
I am sorry it took so long for me to process this order.... its been a hectic work day, and a few deadlines came up.... anyway,  its sent now....  have fun, and you are welcome.... best day to you, mm
Are you kidding? You have been lightning quick in responding, making a custom pattern and everything. Thank you so much! NM (MAY 17 2010).

Thanks so much, Marian! I got them all downloaded. I appreciate these so much! I love your work! CW (JUN 3 2010).

Marian, it is at times such as these when "thank you" appears so mundane, and yet, all I can say is thank you. Thank you ever so much for these wonderful patterns. Had them printed at a local quickprints shop and will start working on them today. Please give me the opportunity to reciprocate your kindness. Blessings, DB (JUN 16 2010).

Hi Marian, I write from Uruguay. Nice designs !!! My question is how I can use for designs... how can help me your designs to create a gospel glass for my church. AH (JUN 16 2010)

Marian, Boy are you quick! Thank you for the extremely fast fast fast service! I am excited to begin working on these patterns. Thanks so much, KN (JUN 22 2010).
certainly welcome, I thank you for your business, mm

Love the pattern. Thanks and I'll be checking out more patterns soon. PH (JUN 25 2010).

Hi Marian, please include me in your email list for your online newsletter. I just discovered it this morning and have enjoyed perusing your back copies. I have a question about your Greek alphabet patterns. Is there any option to purchase the complete alphabet at a discounted rate? Thanks, TP (JUN 28 2010).

Hello Marian Thank you for pattern and options. I appreciate the opportunity to try to make it. I have just been playing with stained glass for the last couple of years, when I retired as a Hospital Chaplain, and am always looking for patterns that can be somewhat easily accomplished. I have added your e-mail to my favourites ... RM (JUN 29 2010)
...have a great day, and let me know when you need a custom pattern for a gift... did you check out gospelglass(dot).com which is where I post many more faith- and inspiration- based patterns HERE. best, mm

Marian, great minds think alike! I have been thinking about order and chaos lately and how some people need more order and some can get along just fine with chaos in so many areas of our lives. But mostly I have been thinking about art. I visited the Chicago Art Institute lately and observed how I look at order and chaos in art. I want to make sense of things that make no sense to me. I want to find something real in abstract designs. I want to give chaotic art an identity or name – can’t leave it chaos. I like symmetry and harmonious colors. Background lines in stained glass pieces that draw they eye away from the subject drive me crazy. But on some level I realize that symmetry and definite recognizable shapes in art can be boring. Lots to think about. Abstraction, chaos to me, can be freeing. Symmetry can narrow the mind. Gotta widen my ideas of art! Thanks for clarifying my thoughts for me. CB (JUL 7 2010)
...for sure, and I agree, mm.

Merci et bonne journée. SL (JUL 6 2010)
Merci une millions, la meilleure journée pour vous,  mm

That is a neat pattern, I wonder if I could just make that into a cresent moon only? CC (JUL 6 2010)
Thanks for the nice comment....HERE actually is a crescent moon pattern....is this what you mean (see link above).... have a great day,   mm

Thanks for the great newsletters JB (JUL 8 2010)
... thanks for the nice words..have a great day, and thanks for tolerating my ramblings (LOL), mm

Hi Marian, I didn't know I could just log into PayPal and send money. Huh. I learned something new! Anyway, I sent you $3 for the pattern just because you were so quick to respond and very easy to deal with. Thank you so much! NW (JUL 13 2010)
Thank you NW, see that pattern, mm HERE

I am so excited to find your site because I am making a stained glass gift for my sister's 50th wedding anniversary and I want to put an E in the center. I want it in the quilt pattern but it only goes to D. If you can help me I would appreciate it greatly. Thank you, RW (AUG 7 2010)
Sounds like a nice and loving project...  If you or your sister has a favorite quilt block pattern.... send it to me, and I will use that one,  and then add the E for her....   if you have a jpg, or if not an image, at least the name of the block - like Ohio star or Texas lone star or nine patch.... or whatever name your favorite block has.   thanks,   mm

Hi, What a great site! I was mesmerised, and must have admired almost half of the patterns - I'll get to the others later. What I would like to know please, is if you have an instruction manual? I have done a one day course in lead lighting as such, but wondered if you have anything simpler. Keep up the great work! Regards IK (AUG 10 2010)
Thank you, its comments like this that make my day.

Thanks for the extra patterns and the fast service. NJ (AUG 30)

hi marian, i was wondering where i can find the fish pattern featured in this months gospel newsletter?i can't seem to find it to order...let me tell you how much i love recieving my newsletter each month to find what is new with you and pdq. so happy i found your site and tell all my glassing friends about you, well take care and god bless! PM (SEP 07 2010)
You are so sweet to say so, I actually always get bummed out after sending a newsletter, since a few opt out... and I end up having dead email addresses for about 20 people each month...(LOL).... the fish and coin pattern is yours for free.... just because you lifted my spirits...

Hey Marian, just a brief note to let you know that I enjoy your newsletters and emails. RM (SEP 08 2010)
Thank you

Hi Marian! Just had to tell you how much I enjoyed your Memory-beads newsletter this month! I laughed out loud when I read about your sister's dixie cup gene - which I certainly don't have! And I've never heard of bead stew, but of course it makes perfect sense when you think about it. I mostly do stained glass and cross-stitch, but I'm dabbling in beads now too, and I sure enjoy visiting your websites and reading your newsletters. Thank-you for your wisdom!! L (OCT 01 2010).
It makes it worthwhile if even one or two people enjoy....  thanks much for the reply,  mm

HAPPY 4TH ANNIVERSARY MARIAN! AND THANKS ONCE AGAIN FOR THIS WONDERFUL SITE AND ALL THE WORK YOU DO. I APPRECIATE YOU SO SO MUCH. YOUR FRIEND IN GLASS, PM (OCT 01 2010)

mm wow your so inspiring the way you think. everything is so beautiful. thank you. J (OCT 01 2010).
Hmmm, that makes my day, so many thanks to you for your encouragement...mm.

Hi Marian, I love your site, I have always loved stained glass but am new to the construction, your patterns appear do able and are very inspiring. I have seen coupons and offers but have not picked specifically. I am always on the look out for the best deal or offer, feel free to point me in a good direction. Thanks, MT (OCT 10 2010)
HEY, for all those reviews, you can choose a freebie and i will send. Make something for the fall holidays--- I love doing round panels.... they are easy to put the zinc on, and it always looks "finished"... ... have you made anything "round" yet... have a good evening, and just give me a product name and number for your freebie. best, mm

I can't believe all the time and effort you have spent trying to help figure out how I can make this runner! A million THANK YOUs! I'm thinking that it will make more sense for me (my hands are quite arthritic - they are, after all, 81 years old) to make the runner with three squares just set straight, not point to point. I'm not sure, though, how small the pieces can me in order for my hands to control and place them. I had thought that maybe I could strip piece at least some of it, though. Let me see if I can print the pattern out so I can use it that way. Thanks again, so much! GD (OCT 23 2010).
have a great day,   mm

Hi Marian, Hello from sunny Western Australia.I was so pleased to receive your patterns so quickly,thank you. I have spent hours looking at your marvellous web site and all the great patterns you have listed, I am certain I will be purchasing more. For the future do you have any Golf and Chevrolet patterns obviously separate subjects. My teacher is an 82 year young retired engineer I myself am in my 60's in fact the whole class is a little like an" Autumn Club" Once again many thanks. Kind regards RL (OCT 25 2010).
arent you sweet to say such nice things.... great for the 82 yo teacher.... and you too.... and i am 60+ and retired as well (though i volunteer at my old job at the university every day for about 5 hours and have a small subcontract there... (LOL)... i am part of the "autumn club" as well..mm.

Marian: You are so kind! I went to the gospel glass site, and it is awesome! I see about a million things there I would love to do. I was looking at the Stations of the Cross…it would be fantastic to needlepoint all of those. It would be a project that would keep me busy for a long, long time. I just wonder how they would translate to needlepoint? Ever done that for anyone? SS (OCT 25 2010).

Dear Sir/Madam, Am T.... G...... from IL,Chicago,It has been well to rectify my search on your company's with variety of stained glasses that i will like to order.I will like to order the stained glass door and window of types :- Brass And Glass,Leaded Glass and Copper Foiled etc.etc.Kindly email me the pricing and the availability of the stained glass windows panels,doors(Room Dividers) and art panels that you have purposely for churches and other decorative stained glass doors so that I will be able to order to complete a project work for a Catholic Church in Belgium.Do include taxes and advise major Credit Cards you accept for order and contact deatsils I can reach you to be able to place my order as needed urgent.email website for gallery if i can get best prices too. Thanks so much for your co-operation.I will look forward to hear from you soon. (OCT 26 2010)
l thought you would all like to see what a scam looks like.... The above individual could hardly use english, knew nothing about stained glass, wanted me to ship (and then of course would have cancelled the credit card payment and I would have been out 1000s of dollars of ready made panels... Its interesting to me just how devious individuals can be....bottom line, keep your eyes open...(love the typos, the grammatical errors, the reference to an out of country church (hoping i would not google it) and main issue here is what credit cards i take. (guess what.... i don't take any payment outside of paypal for this very reason.... (sometimes to good friends i will take a check).... I have had people ask for custom patterns and when i send in advance they never pay me... hmmm thats a smaller infraction. My philosophy is... always give the benefit of the doubt but here... there was no doubt...(LOL).mm

Hi, I came across your artwork recently and I really loved it. I am getting married in the near future and I was interested to know if you have ever created stained glass Ketubot. If not, I was interested to know if it would be possible to create one. Please let me know your thoughts. Best, ES (OCT 26 2010).

Thank you! Thank you! You are awesome! I forwarded your links to my friend to see if she like the patterns for her parents anniversary. I did not know anything about the double wedding ring pattern. I learned something new from you! I hope my friend picks one of the patterns. If not I'll certainly make one for me! Thanks again, TD (OCT 30 2010).

I received the patterns... They are actually better than I expected! perfectly clear and excellent quality, you have a new ongoing customer. Thank you. DD (NOV 01 2010)
thanks for the nice words....mm

Wonderful, wonderful site & patterns. I plan on using some later. You live in my "home state and area". SK (NOV 04 2010).

You are wonderful!! Thanks for taking the time to "spell" that out for me! : ) The ceramic shop was closed today but I hope to get in there tomorrow or Thurs. and talk to her about all of this and iron out the details. I'll let you know how it goes. KMcD (NOV 09 2010).

I am fairly new to the art of stained glass and came across this website today. You really have a wonderful selection of patterns and I am especially interested in the ornamental alphabet patterns. Do I understand correctly that the patterns are e-mailed to me after payment of same? Are they in the size depicted or do they have to be sized by me? Please advise. BH (NOV 17 2010)

Hi Marian, Many thanks for sending my patterns so promptly! I am a textile artist and cant wait to use them to create some pieces. I am sure I will be purchasing off you again in the new year, they are wonderful patterns especially the liturgical ones! Hope you have a peaceful and blessed Christmas Cheers SO'N (DEC 14 2010)

Thank you! I am enjoying working with your designs. Merry Christmas! SG (DEC 21 2010).

As I was looking at your website I found the picture that I could get the pattern free if I knew what the Hebrew letters are. They are starting at about 1:00 and going clockwise:Chet, gimmel, aleph, resh and ayin. LJ (DEC 24 2010)

Marian, I love, love, love all your patterns. It is so hard to choose. My plan is to give a stained glass panel(or 2 or 3 or...)to a leader of a Messianic congregation in Balto, to hang in their congregation. It is sooooo hard to choose. But in order of preference and skill level: Elohim and scroll, Eucharist simple (or as we Messianic Jews call it the Passover meal),A Lamp unto my feet,and the Lion of Judah harp. May you have a blessed day in the L-RD LJ (DEC 24 2010).

Pattern is great, sorry about the 3 orders must have stored it in the buffer when I was opening an account. I'm sure I will be back for more of your good patterns thanks JC (DEC 27 2010).

WOW! They are all great but I think I like the first one better, I am partial to squares. You have a talent, I can follow directions, you know color by number but you can see the plan. LBJ (DEC 27 2010).

Got all of my patterns. Thanks! The service was great! SJCH (DEC 27 2010).

I got them....thanks. Your patterns are lovely. The best in the New Year. DS (DEC 29 2010).
