I have only worked on one project from #2
Itโs lovely Iโm not finished it needs to be quilted and a binding added
Ilooked at the introduction for this magazine several times before I bought. My criteria for books is will I make three things. My main reason was the quilt with the animals and I thought yeah Iโll give it a go. I am well underway with this quilt and thoroughly enjoying it. I appreciate the work that has gone into producing this magazine as it is easy to read online and Iโm looking forward to other projects as usual Pattern Poole has delivered.
I have purchased both of the magazines and have loved looking through them both. The pictures are absolutely gorgeous! The articles are heartwarming and inspiring. I wasnโt sure I would like a digital magazine but I have LOVED everything about both issues. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with the worldwide quilting community. Thank you for keeping your magazines and patterns affordable too. ๐
I looked at your no2 Magazine and decided to save it for later as it had so much content and it was all so very interesting Well I save it and now I cannot find it Must be on a star floating around to entertain all the angels as they read and study it Perhaps Santa will find it for me Congratulations and very well done to you Merry Christmas and I look forward to learning more from you in 2026
This new magazine from Pattern Poole is an excellent addition to the quilting magazines currently available for purchase. In fact, I think personally, it is better than some currently on the market. It has so much information on the projects in the magazine, how to instructions and it all actually pertains to us here in Australia rather than a country overseas.
I loved the second magazine just as much if not more than the first one.
The articles were interesting and informative and close to the heart for this time of the year.
Each article was shared from the heart and I felt like I was there with you.
Thank you so much for your time and effort. I look forward to magazine 3.
Alaura and Monica have not disappointed with the second Pattern Poole Magazine. Beautifully presented with excellent interviews, beautiful quilts generously accompanied by patterns and instructions. I can't thank you enough for the time and efforts that must go into bringing each edition to fruition.
Couldn't wait for the magazine to arrive. High quality and loads of information and projects. Looking forward to trying out some of the projects in 2026. Thank you Monica and Alaura for all the hard work you put into your magazine and also the videos with all your free tips and tricks.
I have purchased both magazines so far and really enjoy the variety of sewing and articles. The sewing instructions are thorough but easy to understand and the depth of research Alaura does especially into historical articles is amazing. A great read from start to finish.
I have so much appreciation for the amount of work that has gone into this and the previous edition of your beautiful magazine. Congratulations, you are both so inspiring ๐ธ๐ป
Have a wonderful holiday season, canโt wait to see what you do in 2026๐๐ฅ
Edition 2 was NOT a disappointment. This amazing magazine is full of great projects and articles. I download each edition straight away to my iPad, so I have easy access whenever I feel like it.
Waited impatiently for this second edition of the PP magazine, and it was worth it!! Packed full of interesting articles and projects to keep me busy in the seeing room. Many thanks to the PP team ๐
Love it !! Love it !! Been watching and making QAYG quilts for a long time.
Storm at Sea has been on my bucket list for a while. Now with QAYG, it will be done in 2026!!
Thanks so much!
Lots of useful and interesting stuff contained within. Highly recommended for those who want some great quilting tips, tricks, and patterns, and/or like background info on quilting. Love it!
I love all the content of the magazine. Several fun patterns and lots of sewing instructions. Especially love the butterfly appliquรฉ pattern. Canโt wait to make it.
I truly adore issue 2. The projects are beautiful and I am looking forward to trying my hand at them. The articles are so moving. Another winner for Pattern Poole!โค๏ธ
