TESTIMONIALS and THANKS for donations
from my e-friends. HOME

OH Marian, That is truly a word from God....And you should indeed take love offerings from those whom want to give...Then you use that money (God's money)...for supplies,,, and to front anything you need concerning God. That's what a love offeing is for. The Bible says "worthy is the worker"....you are a worthy worker and He has just blessed what you have done all along, with an inspirational, important part of your work for Him! Wow!
I believe the Lord has given you this inspirtion Marian, that's how He has His people work for Him...through deep inspiration in your heart! What a blessing! I'm In!!
By the way I picked up aTRANS GRAPH-X (for counted cross stitch and needlepoint) for you today....this also will make your work faster. I really believe you should carry a few of these and sell them to your stitchers at cost so it will make things easier for you and them. When you see this thing you will understand what I mean.
Do you remember what you told me when I offered you a love offering to do more of God's work? You told me to continue to pass His Word on......well, guess what....That's the job He just gave YOU! hehe... Now can you give me the address to send the TRANS GRAPH-X to you... you really need to check this out. NC (Sep 10 2008)

(ps. thanks NC, you are a sweetheart, and I received the package of TRANS GRAPH-X. Thank you very much) mm.

Marian, I love it!! This is the one! Thank you so much. And I would be very happy to write a review of your website...how would I go about that? I was talking with a classmate about the work you and Dad have been doing on this, explaining as best I could the image in the glass--she got goosebumps! We feel very blessed that something so meaningful and so connected to our faith and faith journeys (past, present and future) is going to be a part of Emmanuel College. This is going to be a wonderful gift. Thank you again!! Brilliant. Blessings, MR (Jan 15 2009).

Thank you, and I know it will be lovely (mm) ...UPDATE, and lovely it is indeed. See it under customers gallery.

Thank you for the patterns. They are beautiful. I'm wondering if I can download the colored versions of the pictures from your site? Actually, I'm planning on doing these patterns in colored pencil. I love the look of stained glass and I love colored pencil, so I decided why not combine the two. Not planning on selling or anything, just my own enjoyment. I forgot to mention, I also love the Lord! That should have been first. Thanks again. SK (Apr 27 2009)

Of course SK... and this is interesting, because I always hope that the images will be used for scrapbooking, applique, window clings etc etc etc, so colored pencil sounds terrific... so send me pictures, unframed or framed and i will post them on the internet for all to be inspired by, so if you want greater detail, I will send you a different file, please advise... and as for loving the Lord.... I hink this is my struggle lifelong, to figure out about the eternal and tap into the love, hope and faith that are available, and when I design patterns around the scriptures, this is when i feel closest to the eternal.... great day to you, mm

Thank you, I look forward to making many of your patterns. They are so beautiful. RO (Jun 10 2009)

Hi! My name is DM and I'm the youth director .... We are preparing to do a lesson which includes the youth completing a "paint by number" picture. I would really like to use the "Cross of rectangles for stained glass" pattern for this. I have never done stained glass before, and we will actually be painting ours on canvas. Can I use the pattern that you have and put it on an overhead projector and copy it onto the canvas? Thank you! DM (Aug 18 2009)

Certainly, it is attached. I would totally love to have a picture of the painted canvas when you are through to post on the website with your Youth organization name. So send pictures. best, mm

Thank you. The other one I did was applique, I've attached a picture of it so you can see what I did. I think the Angels will work and will send you a picture and write a review. I appreciate your website, it was truly a blessing today when I found it. > > Thank you again --- DS (Dec 1 2009)
I've been sewing/quilting for over 50 years, but doing wall hangings that look like stained glass is new to me. When the headmaster of the school asked me to do another one for the other side of the door, I was lost for an idea, then I found you. I was thinking it would be nice to do the new one that was either an Easter or biblical theme. The children go to Chapel everyday, and by the thank you cards they sent me, I know they enjoy the current one. God works in strange ways, and I know he guided my fingers when I did a google search and found you. DS (Dec 2 2009).
see DS's wallhanging on Customer's Gallery

I think your wall hanging is lovely, and hope either the angels or three wise men work for a companion wall hanging. I can't wait to see pictures. mm

Dear Marian, I just found your website and am ecstatic! Do you have a newsletter(email or mail) or a catalog that you send out? >>>> Thank you! My husband is a pastor, and we are excited about several of your >> patterns either for the church or for our house. You are providing quite a service. Thank you! A (Dec 30 2009)

all my newsletters are available at the top of the webpage (current ones) or on a page on the left hand side boxes at the bottom.... where all are archived... thanks for the nice words... have a great day, mm

Dear Gospel Glass Company, My name is **. I am a boy scout. I am going to do an Eagle project in which I will create a stained glass stations of the cross walkway for my local church. I found your site and became entranced with your patterns. Then I read that you donate the patterns to those using them for their church. Could you please send me the stations of the cross patterns? It would be very helpful. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, JF (Jan 30 2010)

OF COURSE you can have these.... I would love to see pictures when you finish and I will post them on the website under your name, and your scout troop and you church name... I am attaching two pdf files (i assume you have adobe reader... the freebie program from adobe that lets you open pdf files)... The files have 16 stations... one one each page, so you don't have to use the last two if you don't want to. I am sending two versions.... one is a little simpler than the other.... please let me know when you have successfully opened the files. The pdf files are individually on letter size paper, but surely would need to be enlarged (otherwise the pieces would be too small to handle comfortably)... good luck with your project.... mm

I am requesting the pattern of the Three cosses at sunset. I am working on a .. project for my church West Republic Babtist Church in republic MO. I want to surprise my pastor with a gift of a stainglass panel. I love the look of this one. Thank you for your time and attention to my request. God Bless. JH (Feb 9 2010).

Here are all the sizes and variations on the "three crosses at sunset" stained glass pattern that I have...I would love to see a picture and post it on the website when you finish, good luck. mm

I am a catechist at St. John the Apostle Church in Leesburg, VA. I would like to use the 16 rectangular stations of the cross patterns with numbers for my class. We want to create stations of the cross to be displayed in the church. Please let me know if I can receive these free of charge. Thanks so much. (Feb 2 2010)

These are beautiful! Thank you so much. I was planning to have each student do one, but not until the 24th of February. If you are able to have them by then, that would be wonderful. But, if not, I'd be happy with the round ones too. Thanks again for your generosity! LA (Feb 02 2010)

I've got them all! Thank you so much for peparing these for us. I'm really excited about using these in class. I will definitely send pictures...thanks again! LA (Feb 17 2010)

I can't wait to see all the stations of the cross (which I customized in rectangular format for you) finished. I will post them on your own special pages as part of the customer gallery of stained glass made from free patterns from Gospel Glass. mm

Hi Marian, I am interested in the stained glass patterns on your website for the stations of the cross. I am a Christian Educator and want to do an intergenerational activity creating “stained glass” out of construction paper and tissue paper. Your patterns look like they would be great to use for this type of activity. Could I download them? Please let me know. Thanks! (Feb 23 2010) SEE THE WINDOW CLINGS FROM THIS PROJECT HERE.

Of course.... also... I would love to have pictures of the projects when you finish the Stations of the Cross to post on the website. i have inlcluded the mosaic, the round stained glass and the rectangular variations of the stations of the cross.... best, mm

I am so glad I found this site! Your patterns are beautiful and exactly what I need as I have begun making banners for my church sanctuary. Now the decision is, where to start! I will be ordering soon. Thank you! EF (Feb 23 2010 ).

Just tell me what you want and I will send, thanks for the nice words.... mm

I have been looking for years for a set of counted cross stitch patterns for the Stations of the Cross. I love your designs and I noticed that you mentioned that you could custom make at least one of the designs into a counted cross stitch pattern. Is there any possibility that you could do that for all the of the stations and if so, how much would that cost? Thank you so much for your reply. EI (Feb 27 2010)

Of course, and thanks for your nice words, and I will begin custom creating these cross stitch patterns immediately.. mm

No special instructions. Just want you to know this is the most beautiful site on the internet. Wish I could buy them all. FS (Mar 3 2010)

That would be the nicest thing that has happened to me today, and I so appreciate the encouragement. mm

i would like to have the colore or black and wht patterns for the stations of the cross on your site that are free i work for the church our lady of good counsel in inwood new york the ones you have for 8.00 that set in color or what ever you have left thanks so much, DM (Mar 8 2010)

DM, THEY ARE ALL FREE if you make them for a church.... but i have three styles of Stations of the Cross patterns..... so please let me know which you want... the mosaic style (with no border) as seen HERE the round style with two borders like this ONE, or the rectangular style with the station numbers like this SYTLE. mm

I am a 4th grade teacher at a Christian School in Michigan. I am looking to do "stained glass" patterns with my students to hang in our school's lobby window during the Easter season. We will be coloring them with Sharpie markers onto clear shower curtains. I absolutely loved your full panel windows for the stations of the cross (With the 15 stations and the center panel for the 16th)! It would allow us to make a unified display, yet each child would also have a part that they could take home. Would you consider extending your generous offer of free patterns for churches to us? This would not be for sale in any way and we would site you as a source in the display. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this request. DR (Mar 9 2010).
Marian, Thank you so much for your quick response and your generosity!! I am so excited to tell my kids about your patterns! They will be very excited! DR (Mar 9 2010).

Of course you may have these Station of the Cross stained glass patterns for your christian school, and I can't wait to see how they turn out, and thank you for the nice comments. mm

Saw this in one of your newsletters so thought I'd let you know I found you via Google. Can you answer a question for me? Pretty please! You're designs are fabulous!!! I want to do them all - no that's a lie, I want to do most of them. But I am somewhat color challenged - do your patterns come with suggested glass colors/types? If not, is that information available at an additional charge? Your pieces all look so fabulous, I'd hate to change a single thing. GW (Mar 13 2010)

You are a sweetheart for giving me such nice encouragement.... I'll post your nice comments on gospelglass(dot)com. I have all my patterns as black and white pdf files, and several hundred as color as well. I almost always use actual images of glass products (like from spectrum or armstrong or kokomo or wissmach) to fill the color objects. I can go back and give you approximate colors.... however, every sheet of colored glass is slightly different, and my thought is that your local stained glass shop will help you in person much better than I can. BUT, that said, I am more than happy to make "suggestions". Thanks again for the nice comments. ....... this means you get a freepattern for telling me how you found me too... so choose one... either from gospelglass or pdqpatterns mm

Hi, Thank you for your beautiful designs. Everything is wonderful, it's hard to choose. Blessings, CN (Mar 14 2010)

You are more than welcome. I can't wait to see pictures and post them on the website gallery. mm

Marian, I volunteer with the high school youth group at our parish and this weekend is our annual Confirmation Retreat at a local retreat center. This year, our high school team wanted to add a time for the Confirmandi to reflect upon the Stations. My daughter was the one who volunteered to prepare them and asked me to find some Station artwork to use. Your webpage came up on the 13th search page. I was moved and inspired by your artwork. I'd like to use these patterns to create a quilted set for the youth to use starting next year and I was wondering if we could use the patterns to make a printout for use this year. Thank you for your time and talent! SG (March 18 2010)

Of course you may have them, they are all pdf files attached.... all my current versions are attached.... I am actually in the process of converting the rectangular ones into counted cross stitch and beading designs (peyote stitch)... if any of your girls does either of these crafts you could let me know which and I would try to hurry up a pattern for them.... mm

Marian: I found your website doing a search for "stations of the cross" and I absolutely love your images. For Palm Sunday this Sunday, I'm leading our congregation through Stations of the Cross, and would love to use your images of the first 14 stations to both post around our sanctuary and project on PowerPoint. Would it be possible to receive PDF's of all 14 stations in an 11"x17" format? Thank you so much for letting me know. Blessings, Pastor JS (Mar 24 2010)

JS, I hope your congregation enjoys the posters and the ppt presentation. I have actually now posted the power point presentation of the stations of the cross on the website so that others can use them free. This was a terrific idea, and I thank you for that. mm.

I don't need the actual patterns. I'd like the colored pictures to put in my Grandma's windows. She lives by herself &is confined to living in her lift chair. She sees the same 3 walls day after day. She lives in Iowa & I live in Michigan. I just thought if I could print these out on a full size piece of paper that she would have something pretty & colorful to look at. I thought it would remind her of being in church since she can't go any more. She is 91 years old & loves pretty things. Thank you again!!! LP (Mar 25 2010)

You are welcome... My mom is 91 and just recently bed ridden as well.... thats sweet to do for your grandma.... mm

Thank you so much this pattern is just beautiful, I will give it a try, KM (Mar 27 2010

Hi Marian - The patterns have been printed - except the 30" one. I will print that as suggested at Staples. Thank you so much for sending that "bonus" along. That particular pattern is for church - my pastor's office. I saw your note that this pattern would be free to clergy but I am not "clergy" and I am very happy to pay your price - so reasonable. Your website is my favorite to look at for stained glass patterns. I am not too quick in producing the pieces but I do enjoy the process! Thank you so much for your kindness. SP (Apr 09 2010)

I could/would have sent the pattern for free... next time just ask in advance by email, without going through checkout.... thanks for the very nice words too. mm

Please remove me from this list. I do not need religious instruction with my craft information. MM (May 5 2010)

Every once in a while someone makes a negative comment such as the one above. My response might seem a little harsh, but I sent it none-the-less. It just mentioned that I certainly wasnt a religious instructor, and that "religion" as she mentioned happened to have captured the attention of the greatest minds in history, be the most stringently researched philosophical topic and copiously written about subject in recorded history and that she would stand alone in not needing "instruction" -- mm

Marian, I got the downloads (stations of the cross). They are wonderful. By chance do they come in a retangle or square form? If so can you shoot those to me. Thanks. PH (May 21 2010)

Thanks you for the beautiful pattern!It was fun to make~I loved doing it! SF (Jun 28 2010).

This turned out so lovely.... thanks for sending pix.... see link below > ----have a great day, mm SEE MOSAIC HERE, SEE PATTERN HERE.
