"Testimonials"
Here's what
subscribers to PNQ Online Ezine are saying about this great online
ezine:
I subscribed
to your new mag today and am "stunned" at
how good it is. I loved the "block of month" as I have been wanting
to
do one
and for
this one I can use my own stash. The free pattern was
brilliant and explaining
the new terms was great for me as I am fairly new to this craft. I
thought I recognised the name of your featured quilter and then I recognised
her stunning quilt. It was all BRILLIANT. I will tell many others about
this. Many thanks for a very enjoyable night reading your mag, and
for
the many hours of use I will get from using the patterns and tips.
Best of luck, Di: Mira Mar, Albany, Western Australia

Dear Helen, Thank you so much for your newsletter
and free
block of the month. As a beginner quilter I am taken
over by the 'quilting bug'. I have fallen in love with materials
(a concept
my husband cannot understand) and am considering selling the three
children so I can have more time to quilt!!! I will take up the "challenge" of
the Christmas wall hanging and try to remember everytime I make a
mistake, I will learn from it. I look forward to your next
newsletter and all it's contents. Rachel: Bullcreek,
Perth, Western Australia

Thankyou
for such a great & "informative" newsletter
I loved my first edition and can
not wait for the next one! Happy
patchworking! Mary: Gosnells, Perth, Western Australia
About 10mins
ago I received your wonderful newsletter
- I am so "pleased" I decided to subscribe.
I am so impressed with
your style of newsletter I just had to let you know. I was about to
say which section I enjoyed
most but cannot choose. I am a newbie at this patchwork and quilting
stuff and feel that the "information" you
provide will
assist me greatly.
Thanks again for such a beaut newsletter, I'm now off for some SEX (Stash
Enhancement Expedition!
ie fabric shopping) - bye for now - Jill: Singleton, Perth, Western Australia
I happened
upon your site quite by accident and absolutely "love" it.
As a mother of 2 teens,
and a fulltime worker [outside home] I use
quilting as "my time". So helpful in relieving stress after
12 hours at work. Please keep up the great work.

Hi Helen
I really "enjoyed" my first edition
of your ezine. I loved all the articles and
patterns. I especially enjoyed your mother's "Vanilla
Thriller", my Mum used to make it when I was a kid. I have
pinned up in my work room a copy of "10 Reasons to Buy Fabric",
just so I don't feel too bad the next time I go crazy at the
fabric shop and
to show my husband the next time he asks what I am going to do
with all that material. I'm sure of him saying, "Why are
you still buying material when you have a cupboard full already?" I
have passed this onto those members of my P & Q group that
I know their email addresses the rest will get a hard copy when
next
we meet. Keep up
the good work. Noelene: Shoal Bay, Port Stephens,
NSW, Australia
Hi Helen , I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful site!
It has given me much pleasure to read about
the retreat at Iona and have
a copy of the denim rag quilt - I have been wanting to know how to
make a rag quilt for some time and I really appreciate your generosity
and hard work that goes into your newsletter it is really "informative" thanks
once again and keep up the good work - Yours in Quilting - Josephine:

Great
site! Love BOM, so I will now have
yours to work on. Thanks for the "free" pattern
Sunflower Special. Can't wait to start that one! I
am from Kansas so, Sunflowers are good. Keep up the great site. Thanks.
L: Overbrook, Kansas, USA
Hi Helen! Just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed viewing your website
on the recommendation of Kathy R. I'm from the USA and met Kathy last
September on a trip to Australia. I am a longarm quilter and I have too
many UFO's to count! Congrats on the Silent Symphony quilt. It's lovely!

Thank-you
for the "wonderful" site, you have a
lot of good information on here and I love your free pattern.
The sunflower wallhanging is wonderful, I can't wait to make
it! Gwen: Glidden, Saskatchewan, Canada
Hi Helen, I found your site via another. "Congratulations" on
starting it. It's great to see another Aussie join the zillions from
the US. It
looks very promising. I particularly liked
the Food for Thought. Many times I've had some of these ideas myself,
particularly when I'm having
a bad day and need to get things into perspective! My favourite time
of day is when I snuggle down in my nice warm bed with my beloved right
next to me, knowing that all my family is safe and well. Bliss!! We all
should take these 'on board'- I'll be sending them to my friends. Keep
up the good work. Aless: Adelaide, South Australia
Enjoyed this first issue. Thank
you. Cheers, Barbara: Albany, Western

Hi Helen,
what a "lovely story" about your beautiful
quilt "Silent
Symphony" I did not know the full story about it until I read
it here in your newsletter. I am sure your Mum was overjoyed to receive
it - you should be very proud of yourself. What a coup, getting Jose's
autograph on it as well, it will be a life long memory for you and your
family to treasure. Well done. I am so pleased that
you won the Viewers choice as well, it shows you what an effect it had
on so many people.
I have put it in the 2004/05 History Book. By the way I sympathise with
you, I lost my sister to cancer last year, she was 60 years old. Jan:
Hillarys, Perth, Western Australia
Dear Helen, Thankyou for the newsletter. I am an experienced patchworker
and found it very interesting. Well
done! Suzanne: Stoneville, Perth,
Western Australia
Hi Helen, Once again I just have to say how much I enoyed the latest
issue of your really great newsletter. It is such
a pleasure
to read and has lots of "interest and diversity".
I especially like the new addition of useful hints on fabric preparation
and patchwork groundwork which
so many people are simply not aware of. This will be so "very
helpful" for them. Kind regards, Judy: Marmion, Perth,
Western Australia
Hi Helen, Thank
you for contacting me again. I couldn't get the link
to work last time. Thank
you for the "Sunflower Special" pattern. I
love it. It's already printed
out ready
to start finding fabrics for. Gee, I hope I don't have to go out and
buy more fabric for it :) Take care, Linda: Huntingdale, Perth, Western
Australia
I want to thank you for bringing this e-zine to the web. I love
reading your articles, especially your story of you Mum. It brought tears to
my eyes. I also love the Wise Words and Trivia not the least to mention
the Name the Block contest. I also love sunflowers and think your designs
are beautiful. Can't wait to see what the next Block of the Month is
to bring. A new quilting buddy across the sea, Michele: Beach Park, IL,

Thanks for
your newsletter. I did enjoy it and look
forward to trying the Vanilla Thrilla as I LOVE vanilla slice! It
was good to hear about
Adriana - her work is really magnificent and her story is "encouraging" to
me. Like you, it seems, I always have many things on the go. But
I am feeling very good at present as I have just finished handquilting
a quilt that was started in 2000, but has had bits done to it on
and
off over the years. The hand quilting was started about Oct last
year, and I am really glad to have it finished. It is for my neice
for Christmas,
so one present completed already!! I also have heaps of ideas I would
like to make. Will need to live till I am 200 to do them all I reckon.
Ruth: Mt Pleasant, Perth, Western Australia
Helen,
What a wonderful site. Well organised and
not "tizzy" like
some of those other sites, especially the homegrown variety. Love
it and have passed the link to many of my quilting
friends. Christine: Mt Warren
Park, Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia
Thank-you
for the "wonderful"
site, you have a lot of good information on
here and I love your free pattern. The sunflower wallhanging
is wonderful, I can't wait to make it! Gwen: Glidden, Saskatchewan,
Canada
Hi Helen, I joined yesterday and am very impressed.
I have had a slump with my patchwork and quilting but after reading
all that you have here I am being inspired to
pull the finger out and get to it. "Love" the
Sunflower quilt, it is a must do and the Christmas one too. Love
it all. Thankyou, Anne: Two Rocks, Perth, Western Australia

Hi Helen, I love your patchwork site. You clever cookie!
Thanks, keep up the good work. Eddi: Kingsley, Perth, Western Australia
Helen, I like your first issue. I wish you luck and continued success.
I look forward to future issues. Thank you for the "free"
quilt block patterns.
Judy: Farmington, Missouri, USA
Hi Helen,
Thanks for the prompt reply. Have had quick
look at the site and am "very
impressed" and particularly as the patterns are in
blanket stitch which is my particular passion, along with other patchwork.
I have also been a "bearmaker" for a number of years so
really into hands on crafting. Margaret: Craigie, Perth, Western
Australia
Helen - I love
your website and have subscribed to your newsletter.
Do you have
a link or a table of measurement conversions that could be
used for those of us who are used to buying/measuring material in yards?
I have made 2 quilts- one 20 years ago and one this year but I have
collected material, patterns, tools, ideas and dreams for many years.
I'm a quilt-a-holic and proud of it! Happy
quilting! Linda: Blaine,
Minnesota (summer) and Green Valley, Arizona (winter)! :-)

"Thanks" Helen for the repeat of July's
block of the month. Mine somehow disappeared off the computer.
You have
saved me from having a blank
space on my quilt. Love the ezine, keep it coming.
Therese: Dalyellup, South West, Western Australia
Helen, I belong to Cyberquilters and just wanted to thank you for
letting us know about your new "free" e-zine. I
signed up for it and sent my daughter your url so she could too.
I'm hoping to try that
vanilla recipe, too. I like the way you have it set it
up - easy
to navigate. Best of luck! Rita: Phoenix, Arizona,
USA
Congratulations on this new e-zine. I think you
are doing a great job with it. I enjoyed
reading it and you have really nice "patterns" on
it. Juanita: New London, WI

Hi Helen,
I have just been through your newsletter and I wanted to tell you how
much I enjoyed it! The story about your Mother's quilt
was very inspiring and the "recipe" for
Vanilla Thrilla is on my kitchen bench to buy the ingredients when
I next shop. I will return to the
web sites for a browse and may even make a few purchases... I sat down
with my lunch after doing my housework and I have had a very
enjoyable time. THANK -YOU! Regards, Julie: Ipswich, Queensland,
Australia
I LOVED
your "Sunflower Special" quilt. Thank
you.
My goal is to make 3 or 4 sunflower themed
quilts for our daughter by Christmas & her
b-day, which is December. She loves sunflowers. This is definitely
in my pile to do. Will use sunflower fabrics for flowers -- or for
background, not sure. Sharon: Hamburg Township, MI
Hi Helen, Congratulations on your PNQ online, you are a very clever
lady and I have very much enjoyed reading it. I will be taking the
"pattern" for My Favourite Christmas
Things with me up to Exmouth to
start sewing. Look forward to catching up at Quilters in September.
Go Eagles!! Helen: Kardinya, Perth, Western Australia
What
a great site! I love it and can't wait to read
it each month. I'm looking forward
to the Block of the Month "surprises". I'm
going to commence "My
Favourite Christmas Things" today. Loved
the article about the Patchwork Warehouse. Spent the day there on Wednesday
doing a lesson - The Bargello Quilt. Janet: Albany, Western Australia
