Dear Stitchin' Heaven/Susan Garman, I finished 2 Ladies of the Sea! One quilted by Kristi and the bllue by marilyn . Marilyn's on long arm. Krisit's by home sewing machine.

I am definitely an appliquer - the only difficulty was triangles and corner squares. It was a great challenge.

In buying fabric for backings etc at 34 Ave in Phoenix, a couple of friends of Susan's were there. Small world. I regret not talking with them more. The confusion at the moment of giving measurments - showing blocks, was crazy.

Your fabric was very ample. I almost did the 2 quilts from your packet. Thank you, and enjoy pictures. Sincerely, Fairy E.

Hi to everyone at Stitchin' Heaven,I just received a quilting booklet in the mail from you today, Nine-Patch Pictures by Trice Boerens. It was a gift I had won through a contest you participated in. I would like you to know how much I appreciate it. There are some really cute quilts to make from the booklet and I am anxious to get started on a few (as soon as the heat index drops...gosh, I love to quilt, but this heat makes it unbearable. See, even in New Hampshire we get the hot weather! In stitches, ~Paula B~

My "Ode to the 30's" kit arrived yesterday, and I'm just thrilled with it. I really appreciate the time invested in preparing each of the block kits, so that they are easy to follow and prepare. Last night, I got busy and cut the blocks from the first two months kits, so I'll have them ready to take to my Guild Retreat in 28 days . . . but who's counting? Thank you for the wonderful project! ~ Linda

Hello everyone! I wanted to let you know that I am so excited that you are carrying the Martelli rotary cutters!! This is such a great product that I was amazed no one in our area had them. I have been using this cutter for about three years since I found them in a little bitty booth at the Houston show. This cutter makes it possible to work literally hours longer because it does not put stress on your wrist and hand. I had a tendency to grip my rotary cutter too tight as I cut fabric, and I couldn't work for very long without a very sore wrist. With this cutter, I can play for hours! It did not take long to get used to the different grip because it is just a natural position for your hand. I love this product!!
I also wanted say hello to my friend Linda Vermillion. I haven't been able to visit the shop since the Eleanor Burns retreat, but I always look forward to the Hot Flashes in my email. I have to say... We have two quilt shops in Tyler, but I feel more at home with the friends at Stitchin' Heaven. Thanks for all you do! ~ Mary

I'd just like to say a big thank you to everyone at Stitchin' Heaven for their fantastic international service. I've had several BOMs from you and have been thrilled with the service. Thanks once again, Pat

These fabrics are absolutely gorgeous!! This is my third Patchwork Party; I wish I had known about it from the beginning. I had trouble with the templates initially and put it away until I got this fabric and realized I would have to tackle the templates again. After I got some grippers on them they didn't shift when I was cutting and were much easier with which to work. Now I do like them and have subsequently finished my original blocks and these blocks and most of the ones from the 2009 Winter Edition. I'm waiting for my finishing kit to complete it. What a great idea and I'm already anxious for the fall/winter edition!! ~ Mary

I am so happy to be on your mailing list. I love reading your newsletter! You bring sunshine into my home.
I don't order often because my income is very limited but will continue to do so because you always have what I need and more! Thank you. I look forward to our QuiltedAngels Retreat next April and shopping with you in person! ~ Rosie D.

I love your website, makes you feel like you are in the store shopping, everyone is so helpful (I call in my orders)
Happy 4th of July ~ Delores

Just wanted to thank Sandra Coffey for the package of fabric. I truly appreciate her addressing my problem so quickly. I love the Applique Affair quilt and have enjoyed stitching the first 2 blocks. Was concerned I wouldn't have enough fabric to complete blocks 3 and 4. Thanks again Sandra for coming to my rescue. It has been a pleasure working with you. Donna

Dear Stitchin Heaven Friends, Thank You for the free "Log Cabin" quilt book. I've always wanted to make a log cabin quilt. This book has given me new inspiration and a different flowery twist for making the quilt, which I'm sure to enjoy sewing.
Thank You Again, Wilma

love your website and your boms Hard to decide what I like ~ Mildred

The two bull rider pillow cases I made were a big hit with eveybody that saw them, now they want curtains for the camper windows!  Thanks for putting the kit together for me. ~ Delores N.

Just a word of thanks for your delightful newsletter.  I always feel a little lift when I see it in my in-box and know that it will inspire me to start yet another new project.  Thank you for all the work that goes into it and the wonderful people that work in your shop.  Happy quilting. ~ Dianne J.

Ladies-
I just wanted to send a big thanks for your information and online services. I honestly can't remember who I spoke with and about the Indian Summer quilt back towards the end of February. We exchanged a few emails and I think phone calls about my questions and whether I had the "expertise" to complete the project. I had considered myself a good seamstress and new-ish quilter. I had all the basics down, just hadn't tackled "big" projects.

I've attached a couple of photos of my finished quilt top. It began as your kit, but due to a small addition on my part, the whole thing grew exponentially! I accidentally added an extra strip to my log cabins which made everything grow. Everything was non-standard according to pattern directions, etc. Well, I learned that a pattern is just a point from which to start................ It has turned out to be gorgeous and is now off to the long-arm quilter to be quilted and ended up being 100x100!!!

I'm thrilled with everything that you sent me to begin with.

Happy Quilting! Rebecca H.

Just to let you know that my order arrived quickly & completely. Can't wait to get started on a new project. THANK YOU, Analeise!!!!!!!!! You were a delight to work with & look forward to my next shopping spree with YOU!!! ~ Donna

Hi Debby, I received my Scissor Set today. Wow!!!! It is beautiful. Thank you so much. I could not believe that I had won a prize in the Sewing Room Makeover contest.

I really enjoy getting your e-mails and I recently placed an order with you. I received the order in record time and was very pleased with it.

Thanks again and I am sure I will be sending more orders in the future. ~ Mary B.

Hi: Just a note to say Thank You for the free quilting book, Fun with Fabric Frames, I received today. This technique is new to me and definitely something I want to try. Once I deal with a few UFO's around here, will be back to purchasing fabric again. Will definitely keep your shop in mind. ~ Denise D.

Hello!  I just wanted to let you know that I received my package yesterday with the free book I won and the kit I ordered.  Thank you for the free fat quarter!  Also, thank you for the book "Fun with Fabric Frames".  I am looking forward to trying the ideas in the book!  The kit was packaged nicely in a basket.  What a nice surprise and clever packaging.  How nice!!!!! ~ Patricia in Killeen, TX

I came to your shop yesterday as part of the Bus tour from McKinney and your shop was by far the Best! Your staff was so friendly and welcoming and great theme! I will definately be back! Thank you again. ~ Astrid

Hi all in Quitman Texas at Stitchin Heaven
Every time I open my in box and receive your newsletter I smile. I enjoy all the beautiful kits and fabrics and especially enjoy meet the staff segments and the jokes.
Thanks, Deb W

Hi Mandy, I have already done the mystery tour 11 and in fact the Belgium quilt was the very first quilt top that I completely finished. I sent it to my father up in Canada, he was in a nursing home and was always cold. He had alzheimers for 16 years but sometimes had lucid moments one happened when he got the quilt, he kept pointing at my mothers caregivers pocket at her cell phone and they put two and two together that he wanted to call me... which he did with their help of course... everything he said came out jibberish except for the word "beautiful" so if I never stitch another quilt that was worth all my hard work. Sadly he only was able to use it for about 10 months as he passed away Oct 5. When I arrived at the church where my sisters were setting up a nice little display at the front of the church what should be there but the same quilt .. so I have some sentimental feelings for the Belgium quilt
What I would like to do is the "charm school" for awhile, you guys come up with such creative things.. so do I need to sign up for that or can you add me to your list as you already have my credit card number and all.
Thanks, Beth

I love your website. I am just learning to quilt. I did the purse/tote it was fun. So, I hope to continue to learn more, and take classes, etc. Thanks ~ Trish in WY

Thank you for the gift you sent with my order. It is nice to receive fabric to add to my stash. ~ Joan in FL

Your ad popped up this afternoon while I was on FACEBOOK. I've been gone from Wood County now for almost 5 years, but I still maintain you have the best shop in the Country! Hello to all my friends in Quitman. ~ Sue in MD

I have been an online customer for about a year now. With my last purchase from you I received a thank you note and a free FQ gift for my loyalty to your store . I truly appreciate it. One of the highlights of my time when I’m online is to browse through your website and drool over just about everything. If I had the time and the money, I would be buying so much more from you. I can hardly wait until I win the Lottery so I can just buy everything my heart desires from you. I just wanted to let you know how much your “cyberspace” customers appreciate the wonderful job you do on your website in offering such wonderful items for sale to us in such a user friendly way. Thank you so much!
Wishing you the very best in 2009 and way beyond! ~ Rosalie

You all are just the sweetest bunch of ladies to deal with. I have thoroughly enjoyed shopping with you since only about 2 years ago. All of the ladies couldn't be nicer.
Thanks, Pat V.

Merry Christmas! I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how much I look forward to seeing what you'll come up with next. Yours is the most creative quilt shop I've found. You have lovely things and wonderful ideas. I just wish you were in Connecticut. I'm going to have to schedule a trip to Texas. I'd love to meet you folks and see the store in person.
Thank you for being great! Martha

Just got my shipment from you and I have to send you another thank you for my "goodies". Love the fat quarter and the box of pins! How generous. You may be in a small town but you do things in a big way and this customer appreciates you. Again, thank you. Sandy in WA

I love visiting Stitchin' Heaven - both in person and on line. And you have such wonderful blocks of the month. I just signed up for another one. I already have one going, and I just finished one! (Well, it got over - I'm not finished yet because it's an applique one and I work slowly). I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful store you are - friendly people, helpful workers, and dynamite service!!! ~ Bonnie

I am signing up for two additional BOM clubs. I can't say enough about your Ode to the 1930's BOM. I have become addicted, and my husband finds me sewing at 3 in the morning. You guys do a great job and I can't wait till I get my BOM package each month. Thanks... Suzy in MS

Dear Sweet Texas Women, THANK YOU .... THANK YOU!! for welcoming Debbie and I to your shop on Monday...right??? ( I honestly can not remember when we came!) My husband and I have traveled seeing friends and family EVERYWHERE!! plus I dropped off my fifth and final child at Baylor University... She has wanted to go there forever.....
Thank you Deb, and every one on your staff that welcomed us with a smile and help with everything.. We loved your shop!! You are all so helpful ... When I got to Deb's ( my sister in law's home in Tyler_) I looked over the fabric and kits .... and when I got to Waco,,,,, I did the same thing... I looked over the kits. I am so excited... Thank you for your kindness and your warmth and your help. Lord willing , I will have the opportunity to visit you all again. I am now praying for a place to rent for a few weeks to a month down in Waco and sew to my heart's content while seeing my daughter occasionally!! Joy is adopted from Japan and is special beyond words to me.
I am sorry that I will not be able to join your charm school. For reasons of slowness and being rather new to quilting... and knowing that I am keeping up with elderly parents and newly grown and flown the coop kids, I will only frustrate myself!!1 Thank you for the info and the offer, though.
And, any time you all come to Chicago Please give me a call or visit Wheaton... I will take you to my favorite shop here!
One of my favorite shops is called Pieceful Hearts in Lisle (pronounced lyle) Gina is the owner and knows me...... Keep me posted!!
May you all continue to bless those who visit you in person and on the site!!!!
Chris

I just recieved my first block of the month package and it was more than perfect. I ordered aunt millies garden I love reds. I thought when I saw that solid red background piece I had better test it, it did not bleed any I am truley a very satisfied customer. I also love the newsletter I look forward to it. I can hardly wait until next month. Regina in AR

I just wanted to write and thank you for the piece of fabric you sent at the end of June. What a delightful surprise, and believe it or not, it will fit perfectly with a project I'm planning right now. The panel of antique patriotic pictures is just right for a colonial style quilt that I will be starting soon. Thank you so much. What a nice gesture on your part. I will be sure to remember this when I want to order quilting items. Karen, Edgar, Wisconsin

Hi Deb, First of all, let me tell you how much I LOVE your site!!!! My sister lives in Texas, and you can bet your sweet fabric that I am going to be finding your shop the next time I go down to visit her!!! The other thing is, although I've been on your site for almost two hours, I cannot find that dang bunny!!! Can you give me a hint? Thank you sew much, and I look forward to seeing your shop in person :)
Blessings, Gloria

Your site is one of the MOST enjoyable ones I've found. What fun! Rebecca in MT

Got your newsletter tonight about the Memorial Day Sale. Saw the poems writtern by Bob Miles. Just wanted to let you know how much I appriciated you including them in the newsletter. All 3 of them are very well writen. The reason I didn't check the box for you to send me your newsletters is I all ready get them. Love getting them and hope to get them for a long time.
Sincerely, Barbara

I can't express how good I feel. I have always loved to come to Quitman to shop with you and always enjoy your emails. I have purchased books and patterns by phone from you and always appreciate your service. However, I must tell you that all that pales by the fact that you will honor our veterans by remaining closed on Memorial Day. Our friends son was recently killed in Iraq. My uncles and also my husband have served this country. By remaining closed to honor our military, you honor all those that support them, too.
My deepest heartfelt thanks. Judith, Longview TX

I have had a "horrible" work day today -- but -- when I opened your email and read the 710 joke ....I immediately broke into laughter. THANKS for making my day! THIS was priceless! ~ Jackie

Really enjoy your shop goodies, e-mail bargains, and also the "lighter side". Just had to let you know how great my morning started learning what a "710" is. My husband enjoyed it too. He also is happy I enjoy my passionate hobby of quilting. He is very supportive. Have shared your site with a few of my quilt buddies. Will send this e-mail to all in my quilt circle. I'm sure they will enjoy your we site as much as I do.
Thanks sew much, Sandra Mt. Washington, Ky.

Thanks so much for the gift certificate I won through FabShopHop. I enjoy the shop hops very much and always look forward to them. Your shop is wonderful and I only hope I get to come visit you some day. Thanks again!
BJ in Oregon

I am already signed up for your newsletter and have been "lurking" for a long time. I finally decided to order from your site when you had a sale and received my package of two patterns and fabric today. I also received a very pretty FQ as a freebie and I was like a kid opening a Christmas present! Thank you so much! The fabric is beautiful and the patterns! I can't wait to start sewing! Again, thank you for the free FQ, and I am looking at your site again to order!
Warmly, Patty

Hi, We were visiting your area on our way back to Michigan March 18th. My husband want to go fishing on Lake Fork and he did. We were in your store and I purchase fabric to make the Paddington Bear Quilt. You gave me the pattern and I completed the top and had it quilted with bears running through the quilt. It turned out nicely. Thank you so much. We are heading to Connecticut for a baby shower this weekend and I can't wait to give it to our son and daughter-in-law. Our new grandchild is expected the first of June. If and when we head back to Texas we will make Stitchin Heaven a must stop. Also I enjoy reading the Hot Flashes.
Nancy, Fenton, MI

Nichole - I received the Tropical Sundance kit and it is beautiful. I can't wait to start on it this weekend!! You have gone above and beyond - putting it in a basket! If I wasn't in such a rush to get it done I would place the basket and fabrics on my table and just admire them for a couple of days. But....this time the fabrics can't linger very long..they have a wedding to get to.
Thank you so much and I will order more items from your internet store in the near future. I am a kit junky...just don't have the time to shop for fabrics and am pretty color challenged..always get about 3/4 of the way done and can't find the final fabrics I like!
Cindy, Poolesville, MD

You have done a wonderful job with your Online store. It is user friendly and you have a gallery of wonderful products. Thank you for a great job done. ~ Cynthia, Porterville, CA

Thanks Nichole – you and Stitchin Heaven is so wonderful to work with. It has been a really long time since I have experienced such outstanding customer service.
I enjoy being your customer! I’m signed up for the Patchwork Express – maybe I will get to meet you in person! Thanks Again! ~ Julie!!!

Just wanted to let you know that I received my order of "White Chocolate" kit this past Thursday and am delighted with the fabrics and the packing baskets was very nice. I look forward to purchasing from your store again in the future. ~ LaJune, Cartersville, GA

Hi Ladies, I just wanted to drop you a line to say THANKYOU. Love the fabric, an extra special thank you for the free fat quarter! Looked like velvet when placed against the winter white fabric I purchased. Loved the batiks, I'm coming back for more! And Thank you for the great service. Regards, Marita from Australia.

I was practically camped out by the mail box waiting for my 'Joy of Life' BOM. When it arrived I was certainly not disappointed. Besides being a beautiful pattern, you did a wonderful job with fabric selection. I was also impressed with how nicely the fabric was cut and presented. Kudos to the person responsible.
We have a new granddaughter, Anna, and this will be an heirloom quilt for her. I plan to put her name, birthdate, her parents names, and her big sister's name in the quilt. ~ Pamela in MO

Just to let you know my order No 23080 - Paddington Kit arrived safely today. Thank you also for the fat quarter and rubber duckies. They are so cute! Regards, Kay, Taupo, NZ

You really outdid yourselves on the Mardi Gras yesterday -- everything was wonderful and you guys really know how to throw a party !! Thanks to all of you :-) Ricky

Dear Staff, Thank you for my order which arrived yesterday. I am very pleased with the books and also thank you so much for the fat quarter. A lovely surprise and much appreciated. Your newslletters are always informative and I love the humour that you add. Thanks again. Regards, Kay in NZ

LOVE the new logo...Such a classy Texan design!  I so appreciate your e-shop and great web presence.  Here's to at least 11 more years...CHEERS!
~Jennifer in Austin

Great new website!
~ Shellie of Aurora, CO

I LOVE THE NEW LOOK OF THE NEWSLETTER!  Wow!  I love it.  Have been looking through everything for the last 40 minutes. You girls rock!
~ Janette of Paris, TX

I KNOW THAT LADY!!!  Not many times do I open the Dallas Morning News and know the person in an article but to know the lady of a full page article is something special - I guess that is because she is special and has a shop full of employees who are also special.  Congratulations Stitching Heaven on beginning 12 years of helping quilters with new & creative ideas and for having a wonderful shop with fun people to work with & buy from & to occasionally "pick on".  Congratulations Debbie on a good article about a very creative lady. It's nice to know you!
~ Judy VanWinkle

When I saw Debbie's photo in the DMN this morning, I had a mental arm pump, a YE-ES! moment.  Enjoyed the auction last weekend, meeting Debbie, and getting a private lesson from a wonderful lady on the use of steam-a-seam while doing my Botanica BOM.  I had a houseguest with me from S.C. who was transported to a place her working life doesn't allow.  She was mesmerized by the store, its graciousness, and the generosity in giving away all those quilts. That is just what the quilting community is all about. What fun!

WOWZERS!!
What a terrific website! I stopped by as part of the ShopHop and was truly amazed -- and stayed to snoop!! Thanks for great organization, clear displays and a real treat in terms of websites/online shopping! ~ Gail in Canada

Good morning,   I received my order yesterday and I am just delighted! My entire experience with your quilt shop has been a joy.... easy ordering, fast shipping... and what a lovely presentation on the bubblegum quilt! (Will be ordering a few more of those as gifts for my dearest quilting friends as soon as I can decide on the colors!)  

Thank you for the extra "bonus gift" as well.... you can be sure that I will return again soon.  :)   Have a wonderful weekend    smiles,     Terri

Hi Deb,   I still get your e-newsletter and this morning I saw the changes you've made. WOW! The new logo is fabulous and your website is absolutely stunning! Very classy and I have to say one of the best designed websites I've come across.   Congratulations and best wishes for great success,   Carol

Hi Nichole,
My internet order arrived today and I just wanted to write to tell you how thrilled I am! Not only did it arrive quickly, and was packaged so beautifully, but you also included a free fat quarter that goes so well with the black & white fabric I ordered, all of which will go into one of the quilts I'm finishing as a Christmas gift. I probably shouldn't admit it, but I thought that a free fat quarter would probably be ugly, or just be something random, so I didn't expect such a beautiful (and coordinating!) piece of fabric. Thank you so much!!!

It was also really wonderful that you included the little rubber duck. My son Will, who's 2, "helps" me with the mail, so he was standing there when I opened your package. Of course he was sure that the little duck was just for him. Such a nice surprise -- thank you so much.

As I mentioned to you on the phone, we recently moved to the Lafayette area in Louisiana, and all there is for fabric stores here are a very small Joann's and a Hobby Lobby with a very small fabric section. I was used to living 5 miles from Quilt Country, when we lived in Carrollton, Texas, so needless to say, I was very spoiled! I'm so happy to know that shopping online with Stitchin' Heaven is so easy and such a joy, all the way around.

My shopping experience with your shop could not have been better and I could not be happier! You can be sure that you will be hearing from me again, soon!

Thanks again so very much and take care, Tracey E

Deb, Thanks for all the wonderful Birthday Bash specials. They made shopping at Stitchin Heaven even more fun. Happy Birthday! ~ Wynn H

I made a mistake & ordered books & patterns before your birthday sale. I also forgot to add a book. So I called y'all & was helped by Nicole. She had already earmarked my order & was going to call me but I called you first. Neither of us could find the book I wanted to add. I looked a third time & found it so I called again. I had the wrong title. Nicole's voice was still cheerful as she added it to my order. She is a gem! I did not feel foolish after I talked to her. I worked at a local quilt store in Spring, Tx. They closed earlier this year. John & Julienne both stressed customer service to us. I thank Nicole for all her patience & help in this matter. Keep up the good work. No wonder I love to visit your internet site. One day I hope to make it to Quitman to meet y'all. Thanks again . Phyllis B.

I recently received my Boo kit from you and the fabrics are fabulous as well as the backing you chose...I just love your newsletter and often forward your words of wisdom at the end...keep up the great work. ~ Gail in Canada

OK, are you guys really in Texas and not living in my backyard? I am totally impressed that an order I placed after lunch (Pacific time) on Wednesday could be delivered to my mailbox today (Saturday). So, I do not believe you are in Texas :)

Speaking of the package (I ordered the Starring the Half Square... kit), the kit was in a rather cute basket and wrapped in plastic -- what a great presentation. I also received a couple of fat quarters, a complimentary pattern and a store pin... I do not see how you will be able to stay in business giving such great service and freebies :) I am planning on bringing the package to my guild meeting on Wednesday (shh, we meet at a fabric store) to show the women my great discovery...As I noted in my order, I found you from an ad placed on the artista digest I receive. I feel like I need to send you all something :) Your shipping department had a perfect sized box and taped it with the right amount of tape. I work at an e-commerce shop and know how important the shipping process is. There are only two small things that would make everything perfect for me: having the items in a plastic bag (I live in the Pacific Northwest and it rains a lot - from mailing out silk ribbons at my job, we have saved a lot on claims because the ribbon was in perfect shape even though the package got wet between out shop and the final destination), and a follow up email to let me know the package was on the way (but you may not have had enough time to do this).
Thanks so much ~ Ellen L. Redmond, WA

Thanks so much for helping me get the white choc cake recipe. Also please give my thanks to Nelda, for the fine job she did helping me get that white choc quilt kit ordered. My husband really was out fishing that day and did have the credit card with him. It was a real fish story. My husband is very obliging with my quilting habits. I told him how far you are from Bonham, Tx. He said that would be a nice day trip when we are in Texas next Feb. Hope we can get to meet you folks there. I have been quilting for almost 35years. Quilting has come a long way since I started. I was lucky to have some older ladies, including my mother to help me along the way. My best to all of you. Thanks again.~Gloria B. in rural Iowa.

Thank you!! I have so enjoyed the newsletters, products ordered and your creative, enthusiastic and truly honest appreciation of your customers. If I am ever in Texas, I will be sure to drop by the shop. I just wish I lived closer to take advantage of some of your truly wonderful class offerings! Thank you!!! ~ Sharon C.

Dear StitchinHeaven gals who put together and work on the Dear Jane BOM.

A HUGE thank you to each of you who contribute to this wonderful program. I am one of those quilters that thinks...so that would be fun, and then several years later, finally get around to starting the project. Such was the case with "Dear Jane' which I subscribed to in 2005.

About three weeks ago I finally decided...it was time to tackle "Dear Jane".....I had been hearing horror stories about those "little bity blocks". Well....thanks to you, and to Sarah Francis' instructions, I am now working on D blocks, and hope to continue at this pace to completion. I love the fabrics that were picked for this quilt, and have enjoyed every block I've made....some have taken longer than others, but it has been fun!

I know that you have sent out many Dear Jane kits over the past few years.....I would imagine that those recipients have enjoyed having them just as much as I do.....Thank you for this program!!!!!

Your stitching friend...joan m.

Just got my order and the batiks are gorgeous! Your scans truly are great. A special thank you for the last minute change per phone on one fabric, Anna(sp?) was so polite even after my second call in a few minutes to clarify my order. A nice note from Nichole on a back-order item, also. The Moda bag is outstanding! What a great surprise. Thanks for a great shopping experience. If I am ever in the Quitman area you all(or should I say ya'll being from NC)will get a great big hug!!! Thanks again, Carole

I received my order yesterday and couldn't be more pleased. The fabrics are just as beautiful as they looked on your site!!! I even love the free fat quarter you sent. That sale was really great. Thanks again, Karen

I just wanted to tell you, this is the first time I've received your
newsletter and it's the best I've every seen. Just great! ~ Hazel in Oregon

Hi Deb: About four years ago I ordered a quilt called
"Cindy's Butterflies" from you. Just this past spring I made it and have just finished the top. I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed working with the Moda prints. Your instructions were great and the amounts of material (I wanted to enlarge mine) were perfect. Thank you very much - I wish you were my lqs.~Ruth, Orillia, Ontario,Canada.

"Hey There Quilting Friends! I received my very first Primavera pack in the mail last week and I am SO excited! You truly are the Block of the Month Divas, I have to say!! It was so nice to have a picture of the fabric and the note as to what part of the block it is for. I am kind of new to quilting and to shopping on line and this was truly a HUGE help to me. I ordered a kit similar to this elsewhere and although it is wonderful, I have no idea what fabric goes to what piece, because the fabric is not the same as the picture. That is why I will now order all of my kits from you! I really don't think I could make the quilt otherwise. Thank you so much for making my day! I will be anxiously looking to my mailbox for the next delivery from you! : ) Please thank all of the people who put this kit together. It is PERFECT! : ) Now, if I could just figure out how to get to Texas for your movie night! Sounds like a blast! Huge thanks from a very happy quilter!" ~ Shannon, Wisconsin

"I just received the Asian Charm Quilt Kit. And the free gift. And the free fat quarters. Thank you for everything. The kit is beautiful (even prettier than the internet picture) and I'm always so impressed with your packaging and fast delivery. The baskets are a lovely idea. Having ordered from several other shops on the internet you are by far the best I've dealt with. Your website is easy to negotiate and I enjoy your newsletters. It is obvious you take great pride in your shop and value your customers. I'm also signed up for one of your block of the month quilts and look forward to getting started on it. There are at least 5 or 6 more of your kits I 'm lusting to own. I may be addicted to ordering from you. Is the cure as good as the addiction? I think the answer is yes." ~ Linda R.

You are the greatest! I've had great orders completed through you and your items arrived in perfect condition. I'll recommend you to all my friends and hopefully they'll take my recommendation as true and shop with you like I have. Your fabric is top-notch and I love all your gift items. Keep up the great work and may God bless you in your work ahead of you. You deserve all the wonderful praise you get...Judy

I wanted to tell you I was in your shop the 1st week of March. I live in New York and was visiting a friend in Longview. I saw you in the Quilter's Traveler Companion. Linda was so helpful. I plan to open a fabric shop here in NY and she gave me tips and information on Quilt Market. I already bought my plan tickets, signed up for classes and have hotel reservations. Thanks for all your help and the friendly staff! Lisa W.

Just wanted to let you know my order of FQ arrived today. I had requested a variety of blues, yellows & greens, not knowing if you would be able to do this. The fabric selection your staff sent was WONDERFUL.. I am so pleased with the selection and have been drooling wondering which quilt pattern to start first. I will definitely recommend your shop to anyone needing anything to do with sewing. Thanks again.

Also, your Hot Flashes is one of the best emails I have ever read. Look forward to keepin' on with all the info. If I'm ever in Texas I would love to drop by. You make it sound like a wonderful place to be... Becky

Dear Ladies,
I just had to send a big Thank You for such a wonderful day when I visited the shop last week! Make sure Deb sees this. You guys should get a raise! I felt so welcome and so did my husband. When were on our way home to California. We had driven to Maryland to spend a few weeks with our son and his family. My husband was so kind and figured out that making a trip to your store was doable. So he took me. It was a high point of my trip. I have done lots of mail order business with you and was thrilled to make the visit. We were already getting tired of being in the car, but everyone at the shop made me feel so welcome, even tho I entered through the classroom. All the ladies were so helpful and it was great to meet Nicole and put a face to the person who always gets my packages to me.

What a great surprise to arrive home and my order to be shipped was already here! You guys are fast! Thank you Lucy and the other Ladies who were so helpful and I'm sorry I don't remember all of the names.

I look forward to your newsletters all the time. I am disappointed that my shopping trip missed the date for a chance to win the Piecemakers calendar. I spent enough, I just might have had a chance! :) YOU GUYS ARE GOOD. Hope to visit again soon! Love to all of you, Phyllis in California

I just got home to a box of goodies from you and am sooo thrilled! I had ordered during your FQ frenzy sale and 'requested' all my FQ be batiks because of a swap I'm in. I wasn't sure if you would 'allow' that, but was over joyed that you honored my request in sending me 24 batiks!!!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! I definitely will be back for future purchases when the service is so wonderful! P.S. Thanks also for the free FQ's. It's always nice to get something for free! I'm the 'FRUGAL' type....he he.

When you had your 50% off over 20 yard sale, I was just thrilled. It was the perfect opportunity for me to stock up my stash in preparation for QuiltPink weekend, coming in Sept. I called and requested 25 yards of mixed pinks from lightest to darkest that would all work together so we could have a stock to work from to make quilts for my favorite charity! I was incredibly lucky to get Toni, she seemed to be as excited about the prospect of putting together this order as I was to order it at such a great savings. I got the box and it is such a wonderful selection! I took it to lunch with me the next day to show it of to my best friend who is also a quilter and will be helping my make these quilts for Breast Cancer Research. She was as impressed as i was! Thank you for having the sale, and for having great employees, like Toni! In Pieces, Bobbie

I just wanted to let you and your staff know how nice the store is looking and how much I appreciate all the hard work that has been involved with all the changes going on around us. All the different classes along with you and your friendly, caring and knowledgeable staff is what personally keep me coming in from "so far". Keep up the good work-Please! Sincerely, Janice Yates

am so happy with my Dear Jane blocks. The fabric is oh so Civil War - my favorites. This journey with Jane is going to be wonderful. I have wanted to start on this quilt for years and knew that I would have to join a club to do it. Sarah Francis instructions are so helpful and I like to use my CD also. Every time I have ordered from Stitchin Heaven it is exactly what I wanted and I received it so promptly!! Betsy Cooksey
PS: I can hardly wait until I receive my next packet.

I ordered my fabric in the middle of the night, hoping the order went through as placed. I got a message the next business day telling me my order had been received and before I knew it, I came home to a box on my doorstep full of yummy fabric! I couldn't have wished for better service!

In closing, I just wanted to say again what a great website yours is and what a fine job you're doing with it. Those of us out here who are quilt shop deprived really appreciate it! Sincerely, Gayle Reed, Menifee, CA

I have to tell you...there are a LOT of quilting shops out there...but you carry some unique items and your customer service and follow up to questions is wonderful. I'm happy as a member of your Thimbleberries club...although projects are piling up faster that I have time to do them! Please pass the word to all who work with you that they do a terrific job...and your shop has a fan in Maine because of it! I'll look forward to getting the Shades of Baltimore. Lauri

I could not let another issue of 'Hot Flashes' go by without telling you how VERY much I enjoy both your newsletters and your web site! I live in Northern Va about 25 miles west of Washington, D.C.. You make your classes sound so inviting! I have imagined your shop as one that is warm and inviting. If I am ever that far south I would love to take a class. You also make your town sound so friendly! Didn't mean to ramble on but thought that you might like to know how important your 'hot flashes' are to someone who also has hot flashes. Keep up the great work!
Sincerely, Julie Hussain

I recently enjoyed a visit to your shop, Dec. 31. I was in Hog Heaven!! Oh No! That's not right!!

he first time I visited your wonderful fabric shop, was with a friend. She wanted to share the experience with me, so she took me by the hand and led me there! . And you know how we quilters like to share, so I brought a friend, and together we feasted on the wonderful colors, patterns, and sensuality of fine cloth! We also like the way the bolts of fabric are displayed. It was LOVE BY THE YARD!! We just couldn't stop talking about the beautiful fabric and the friendly and helpful staff members.

like the creative ways you have of advertising your shop. Why not have a "Bring a friend day?" I'm sure your staff can come up with a creative reward....a kind of 'double your fun, double your pleasure' theme?? Do we not celebrate a Friendship Day in this country? Well, maybe it's time we did!!

"The "Last" half yard of the Yellow Rainbow Sherbert arrived last night along with the pattern and pretty fat quarters. Thank you so much. Your service is tops - prompt , efficient and courteous. My best to beautiful East Texas."
June Venable

"I recently got my first order from your company and I can't tell you how pleased I am with your service and the fun extras that were included. Now that you've gone the extra mile to confirm my address I know I'll be a loyal customer".
Debi Brooks

"What a beautiful and fun web site tour! One of the best I have ever seen. I had to stop and order the BOM, "Day at the Lake" half way through the tour. How gorgeous! Thanks for being so kind at closing time. Looking forward to future visits".
Susan Carter

"I would like to thank Diane for all of her help in ordering my new Elna 6003Q sewing machine. The store in my area had the machines on backorder and they weren't due for "a couple of months". Then, I received "Our Favorite Things, April-June 2002" from Stitchin Heaven. There was an ad for the machine that I wanted, so I called. Diane told me that they had one in stock and it would be on it's way to me in a couple of days. I can hardly wait to get it and start stitching again."
Thank you so much, Susan Petrie

Deb, I really love getting e-mail from Stitchin' Heaven. The "Here's Some Fun" at the end is great. Thank you for doing such a good job.
Linda Chipman

"I called on Monday with a "sad tale" of purchasing too little material the week before. I didn't have my receipt or the bar codes on the material. But the person that answered the phone agreed to look up my sales receipt and find the material and mail it to me. I received the material the next day. You cannot put a price on service like that. Thank you for being there for me. Your happy customer,"
Joy Blaine

"Just wanted to let you know your new web site is fabulous!!! Makes me want to take that 2 1/2 hour drive to come see you again! I also wanted to compliment you and your staff on the packaging of the quilt kits that we purchase from your site. I love the box with the handle that the kits are shipped in and the photo on the cover is a big plus! I know exactly what's in the box when I'm looking to start a new project! You all are the very best!!! Thanks bunches!!!" Kathy Bradbury

"Thank you so much!!! I LOVE doing business and shopping with your shop. I always get such good service. Thank you." Mickey.

"All the different classes along with you and your friendly, caring and knowledgeable staff is what personally keep me coming in from "so far". Keep up the good work-Please!" Sincerely, Janice Yates

"Not a question - a compliment! I wish there were someplace for feedback re Internet vendors similar to the Ebay system, because I surely would like to be able to post a positive comment about stitchinheaven! I found the foldy patterns of Donna Poster (which I had given up being able to find anywhere and actually found accidentally) and you sent me an email when they were shipped and then I got the order very promptly, all fixed up prettily with checked tissue paper and a little ribbon seal! It was GREAT!! Thanks from a very happy customer! Susan"

"I love the kits - they have arrived and are beautiful!!! Can hardly wait till I get all my Christmas projects finished so I can start on quilts for ME! Thanks for being such sweet ladies - it's always a pleasant shopping experience when I order from you and I really enjoyed meeting everyone in Houston!" Pat Ferguson

"I love you gals...I received my 25 fat qrts (floral) yesterday...........I love 'em.....more than I thought they would be.....you can bet I'm spreading your name around my quilting groups...yep, you won my heart and purse...thanks," Ann in Kansas
