Thanks for the magazine. It’s very informative and I am enjoying it a lot. I downloaded it and printed it out and spiral bound it. That makes it so easy to navigate through it. Thanks for all the hard work I know you both put into this for us.
Love and thanks from the U.S.
Best Magizine I have ever purchased. would highly recommend it. so many patterns in it as well as great hints.
Just finished the Time to bloom Quilt using Pattern Poole Patterns and instructions. It was the best thing i have done.
Struggled to get it downloaded my shortcoming not yours first project started today!
OMG, I have brought many quilting books over the years but this is the best value of all. I quickly downloaded when I got it. Put it into my books to read and had a “Quick Look”. Well about an hour or so later I had read it cover to cover. So informative, interactive and well put together with so many interesting things to get my teeth into once I retire in the very near future. It’s a great testament to you both Monica and Alaura, thank you for all your hard work and amazing patterns. 💕
I am sorry I have taken so long to respond. We have been away on holiday in Jeelong.. Your magazine is amazing. So much to take in . I loved the stories from other quilters using your patterns and adapting them. Wonderful helpful sewing hints and so many new patterns to try. I had a couple on the patterns already seeing them inspired me to look at them again. Sometimes I am not sure what to sew next so I look at Pattern Poole on line and now I have your magazine to get me going. xx
I loved reading all the articles -- a nice blend of subjects. The writing was uncluttered, inspiring, and the project instructions were wicked easy to follow. I love the no-nonsense writing about quilting that goes straight to the point. I also liked reading the society spotlight on Dale and Margaret to learn what others are doing. I tried the Kaleidoscope pattern, and although mistakes were made, I can still see the kaleidoscope! Thank you. Well done, Ladies!
I love this magazine. I've been quilting for over 30 years so some of the content is stuff I already know, but many things have changed over 30 years and it's great to read about better and/or easier ways to sew. It's also interesting to read about some of the other members of the group. I specially like the Kaleidoscope quilt. If I can find the time I'd love to make it again as a QAYG. Looking forward to the next issue, especially the Storm at Sea.
Absolutely a new magazine experience...the details and range of articles are really supportive in my quilt journey. The Pattern Poole Companion book and t.v. videos are complemented by the magazine's current articles and written step by step instructions and pictures of projects. It's like getting a mini-version of going to a quilt show that you can keep going back to for reference. So looking forward to upcoming issues.
I absolutely love this, and I will be purchasing more. I am excited to get the next issue as I decided to make the Precious Pieces quilt and loved it so much, I am making 1 for each of my granddaughters. I have never tried applique or making my own Bias tape before, so it is a learning curve for me. Lots of whoopsies and a few mutterings under my breath, but the final result was satisfying.
Congratulations to Monica and Alaura on the quality and content of your first magazine. Well thought out and presented, love the interviews with quilters and seeing their projects, how they were made. A big thank you to Monica for taking the time to give pattern and sewing instructions and making the projects look achievable. Looking forward Edition number 2.
This is the best quilting magazine I have ever had, and I've had quite a few. It's also the best value for money with so many quilt patterns and projects. I gave up on all my other magazines because they were 80% ads, and had deteriorated so much. I'm hoping the Christmas issue will give us enough time to make the little Christmas projects. Thanks Monica and Alaura!
Love the look of the 1st magazine, glanced through all the pages as soon as I got it, liked all that I came across going to go back to the beginning and read each piece slowly and take it all in, from the story of the beginning of your journey, through the photos, patterns and tips . I can't wait for future magazines .
This magazine is fabulous! The projects are amazing and being able to link to tutorials and explanations supporting patterns and articles in the magazine is awesome. I love the variety of topics presented and i have read and re-read topics in the magazine since purchase. Thank you for sharing your love of quilting throughout this magazine.
Newbie to quilting and stumbled upon Pattern Poole and truly couldn’t be happier - learning loads - now part of an amazing group of people who are supportive and happy to share their knowledge and experience. The magazine is HUGE - photography brilliant - articles inspiring and tuition second to none - so happy with new hobby.
I was anxiously waiting for the magazine to come out ever since it was announced. I purchased the first issue and it did not disappoint. It was everywhere I had hoped it would be and more. Your classes are fantastic, your book is fantastic, and now your magazine is fantastic. I am so thankful for both of you Monica and Alura!!
I am thrilled with the Pattern Poole Magazine and it will be a constant source of inspiration and information in my quilting journey. It is filled with wonderful projects with very clear instructions and handy links to tutorials on YouTube, which makes a learning experience all the more enjoyable and helpful..
This program, courses and videos are a blessing to me especially when I know there's always something for me to do at my old age.
Keep up the fabulous work that you do to spread your energy in reaching out to everyone who wants to learn or keep busy with creation.
Thanks for all that you do.

I am thrilled with the new magazine. The patterns are spectacular. As usual easy to follow instructions. Step by step pictures. I love it. Pattern Poole is where I learned how to do QAYG. It is now the only way I quilt. I love having the ability to do every step myself.
Quite simple really....... i just cant wait until the next one. Its probably a good thing its not in print form as i'd be glued to it all day!! I just loved the first edition. Well done on great value for $. So informative and patterns are fabulous. Thanks Team PP!!
