Dear Maggie,

I received my bargain fat quarter bundles this morning, talk about quick service! The fabric fat quarter selection is lovely and I am really glad that they are different than I would normally pick myself because they will stretch my imagination!

Thank you,

Julie :)

I love to buy in your website because the excelent service you provide. It makes me feel that you value me as a client. It is hard for me to buy with other company when you provide the same product at a higher price.

Your website is the easiest and good I have found in internet (even the american ones) The shopping cart is wonderfully easy. I love it. It makes me hate other difficult ones.<{> No one has your excelent service and courtesy. I think this is where your streght is as a patchwork website shop. You and your team are the very best. No one, no one is half as good as you. Your service & courtesy and the friendlines of your website is miles away from your competitors.

Customer survey, March 2005

After having ordered from Sunflower on several occassions, I must say that I am always so happy with the speed in which my orders are filled and the wonderful quality of the fabric. I really love this site and can spend ages just looking at the beautiful fabrics.

Hi

Many thanks my order has just arrived. Tremendous service, I could not believe it. I don't think I have ever had an order arrive so quickly. I just placed it yesterday afternoon. Well done!!! The wool is great. I have not knitted for a while now and have got the bug again.

Many, many thanks for wonderful service I will definitely be recommending you.

I am not sure what you should improve on since the exsisting service is so very high. I would just say please keep up the good work!

I find the friendly atmosphere of the web site lovely and I come back time and again just to view the great range of yummy fabrics.

Thanks again,

... wonderful lady!

Dear Maggie ... thank you for the most recent bundle of treasures! So beautifully packed, quite in the tradition of the Viennese! Scrumptious might be a better word?

Will contact you in due course to order longer lengths of some of these fabrics.

I love the site and its the best I\'ve come across.

For me the very best patchwork and quilting supplier I have found anywhere. The convenience for me living in the country and working full time is fantastic. The choice of fabrics is also first rate. Always my number one choice and always recommended.

Customer survey, February 2005

I love your site. I live in Ireland where quilting shops are almost non existant so you are a godsend. Orders always arrive quickly and I love the personal note that is put in with the orders. Well done.

Customer survey, 2005

I would like to see a newsletter for applique, this is my passion. [Ed. We now have one!].
The knitting is not my scene, but does not bother me to see them with the fabrics.You really are trying to win everyone over, for this you have my admiration. My recent fabrics have been superb. In fact everything I've ever had has been excellent.

Customer survey, February 2005

You have now improved it! Great fabric selection. You appear to be making all the improvements I would wish for

Customer survey, February 2005

I enjoy looking at your site and if I had more money I would buy a lot more from you. Keep up the good work. It comes across that you care a lot about what you do. Marion

Customer survey, February 2005

Absolutely fabulous fabric. Beautiful exhibits! I do love your Web site. You choose the most beautiful fabrics I've seen anywhere. I would love to see real Asian fabrics, too. And I would love being comfortable shopping with a credit card on your site.

Keep up the good work!

Customer survey, March 2005

Thank you dear Maggie!

One thing you didn´t answer is if it is a product you have regularly in stock to put you in the list of suppliers in the handouts I give to my students.

Look forward hearing from you

Hi Maggie
Thank you very much for the warm welcome to Sunflower Fabrics on Saturday.  I couldn't believe how the time flew as I was enjoying myself so much.  Your shop is beautiful, an Aladdin's cave full of delightful temptations to make us wrestle with our will-power!  Your displays and collections are beautifully presented and I have always been drawn to your stand at Chilford.  (I remember now that I bought your Little Four Patch Granny Sunflower quilt kit at Chilford and made it up for my son and daughter-in-law.  It has pride of place on their coffee table).
Best wishes

60 lovely fat quarters. It was like Christmas come early opening the

parcel, I really enjoyed seeing what you had sent me! Very pleased with the

variety of fabrics- Can't wait to start a project!

I'm just starting patchwork and quilting so this a good way to for me to buy

fabric. I shall be back!

Dear All
 
Just loved the fabrics for December Calendar club which have just arrived - fabric stash is getting bigger so I really need to start making more quilts or something instead of just stroking all the fabric and saying 'this is far to nice to cut up'.
 Perhaps I could just give up work altogether and just sew.
 
Many thanks
 
Barbara Carpenter
 Lastly, may I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and wonderful 2005.

Thanks for getting back to me. My parcel arrived this morning........again,

thank you for such quick service!

Linda

Many thanks - and also a huge thank you for the wonderful parcel I received so quickly - I live over 50 miles from a material/patchwork shop and used to make the occasional foray, but with your door to door service in under 24 hours I don't think I shall have to go out any more!  Absolutely brilliant!  The blacks and golds are not going to go in the Baltimore quilt as they are not quite right - but have given thought for another project.
Your website is the best of any of the p&q sites on the web - wonderful

Dear Margaret,

I am so impressed with your super speedy response to my wool order. 
The parcel arrived this morning! Wow!
Please would you tell Sonja not to worry about the ball you have had to
order, I will wait and knit the other balls up in the meantime! (Baby's
booties.)
I noticed on the note enclosed with the wool that you are based in Bedford -
I grew up there as a child!

Many thanks for your help.

Kind regards,

Dear Maggie,

 Received my order this morning, thank you.   I usually go for the bold and dramatic but these are really pretty and provide the much needed pastels for a scrap quilt.

I placed an order with you last Thursday - it arrived on Friday lunchtime.
What service! The bargain bales are lovely selection. All the fabrics are
to be raffled at Quilters' Guild events in North Wales through the Summer,
so they will be enjoyed by many.

Thank you again for the excellent service.

Hi Maggie

The fabrics arrived yesterday - gorgeous as usual!
I always seem to hibernate during the winter and then make dolls in the
summer - so I don't buy much fabric during the winter. I still make sure
I tell all my dollmaking friends about your fabric packs!

Dear Maggie and Co,
 
Thank you for the lovely fabrics for the scrap fabric club.  I have joined this for my grand-daughters Natasha and Joanne.  I am tired of finding the piece of fabric I want has been Fussy Cut (right in the middle) for their collages and dolls dresses.  The pattern sent will encourage them to "do their own thing" with "their own fabric.

Thank you so much. I can't say how much I appreciate your care. I loved
your website - I'm not a patchwork or needlework person at all myself but
as an interested onlooker I thought it was very good indeed. 

Having beenwith my Jane to a patchwork fair which I found fascinating, I know what the
various fabric cuts are so I was able to make a choice with some idea of
what she'll be getting. Now I just hope she likes it!

Thank you again,

Hi

Just to say thanks for the fabric I received this morning, I only ordered it on tuesday.
Its really nice and I can't wait to use it.

I am currently doing a sampler quilt with your Meadowsong fabric and it is turning out really well. I have made about eight blocks so far, I am about half way, I can't wait to see it finished. It is really nice fabric to work with, and I like the way it all matches.

Once again, thanks for my fabric

best wishes

Dear Maggie,
WOW. I can't believe how fast my order arrived. I came home from university and there it was. Thank you again for the service and also for giving me some relief from my withdrawal symptoms.....let me explain , I am doing an Art Degree but I didn't realise that I wouldn't have time to do any patchwork. When your news letter arrived it was like a life-line so I ordered some 'visual' comfort. Keep up the good work I need you.
My best wishes to you, from Anne.

Thank you for the wadding. Quilt is coming along, slowly. Machine has been
out of action and had to order a part from Janome.
Just spent several hours playing with the mosaic builder when I should be doing the ironing. I can feel another order coming on... I am trying to resist the rainbow collection of Moda. I don't really need the whole spectrum, just the creams, yellows, oranges and reds. I've been trying them out against one another and trying to delete those from the basket which don't quite go, but I can't remember the names to know which is which when I open the basket, and keep deleting the wrong ones! Anyway, having great fun!

My hubby plays chess on the computer, so why shouldn't I while away the hours with fabric samples.

Dear Maggie:

Many thanks for sending my recent order so very quickly. It arrived today and the postie had even taken the trouble to tuck it out of the snow while we were out. As some of the order is a present for a friend I'm seeing later this week, I'm particularly delighted to have it promptly. As ever the fabrics are lovely. Thank you very much.

I had to go to the dentist this morning!

We made some suggestions to Teresa about her leaky wellies etc (all in good fun!) and she replied with:

Thank you once again, I think you should bottle your customer service policy and sell it .. you would make a lot of customers very, very happy.

Theresa Barnett.

Thanks Teresa!

To all the staff at Sunflower Fabrics,

The weather is awful, it is absolutely throwing it down outside and the dog
has just traipsed mud throughout the house and my wellies leak!! But hey who cares the postman has just brought a parcel from Sunflower Fabrics. I am absolutely amazed, this order was placed on the internet just yesterday. Thank you so very much. Living in a remote farming village with no transport and the nearest fabric store 60 miles away, I have until very recently felt very cut off. No longer, it is like having my own personal fabric store right in my own home. Thank you once again for your excellent customer service.

Kind regards,

Theresa Barnett.

PS the mud can wait, I have a quilt to make.

Dear Maggie

Firstly may I thank you for the great new fabrics you sent me. After speaking to you on the telephone I realised that you had sent me an extra pack of fabric, I guess that this was for rejoining your Fabric Club. Thank you very much - very much appreciated!!!

Also I know you will send the Australian Patchwork & Quilting magazine in the post as requested - I look forward to reading it! Thanks once again.

Penny

p.s Looking forward to lots of goodies every month!!!

Note: If you are a Fabric Club member and would like to receive a regular magazine with your Club mailing,  just let us know - would would love to oblige!

I never said thank you for such a prompt response and delivery of my order

so belated thanks indeed to you and Sunflower Fabrics

The cutter and mat have been a god-send since discovering it and your website at a new quilters group set up only last month

I have now completed the top piece of a quilt that has been around for over 10 years, spurred on to use the equipment I purchased

regards
Elaine by e-mail 27/8/02

Maggie - 

The club was great, I have now got a great selection of materials to work with. I have recently joined a newly formed quilting group in the Docklands and I am hoping to get some inspiration to start my next quilt - Sunflower will still get my custom as far as buying online goes, you guys have been terrific.

Luckily DH has been out all morning - so I've had even longer than usual to drool!

Hello there,
My parcel arrived safely today but only after travelling via Birmingham, to which it had been wrongly addressed.  I guess you ladies must have had a really good party on Christmas Eve, eh?  Beautiful fabrics though and well worth the wait. I think the best point I would recommend to others is the true colour representations of the photographs on your web catalogue. Fantastically faithful and reliable.

Best wishes for the coming New Year

Hi Margaret

Just to let you know that the fabrics I've received from the club are gorgeous. You must take a lot of time and trouble putting them together but, believe me, its worth it as they're lovely and I really look forward to receiving them. I've been poorly and haven't been able to sew for a while but just looking at the scrumpious fabrics cheers me up no end!

Keep sending good goodies!

Dear Sunflower Fabrics,

What can I say, your service is superb. I didn't expect such a large order to arrive so quickly. And what a delight the contents were. I can hardly wait to get started!
I have been dabbling with quilting for a few years. Buying books and yet always been afraid to make a start except for a couple of cushions! However, after discovering your store through the web has transformed my life!
I have done dressmaking since I was a teenager but didn't find the confidence until I made my daughter's wedding dress late last year. Now with some better quality tools and absolutely fabulous fabrics I am ready to start making quilting a way of life.
Thank you all so much!

Email from Meg (pointing out along the way that we'd forgotten to give her her Fabric Club Discount!) 4th January 2001

I received both my orders today and the speed of receipt of the second was amazing - ordered Jan 1st, received Jan3rd. Thank you for the free material. I am looking forward to receiving the regular "surprise" packages from the Fabric Club. Happy New Year to you and all your "sunflowers". I think you should call the staff this as they bring little rays of sunshine into all our lives - helped by the postmen, of course!.

Dear Margaret

I visited your shop yesterday to purchase some more of the Evergreen fabric for my Haxagon quilt. Thank you for your help in choosing the red material to co-ordinate with the green. I hope to visit your shop again in the not too distant future. I was very impressed with your stock of material but mostly by the superb quality.

Thanks again.

Dear Margaret & Ladies (& Chris or course!)

Just a quick note to say "Thank You!" for your super-prompt service and all the free help! It's not often these days that such personal service is available, and I always feel that you really care that I get exactly what I'm after - brilliant - since usually even I don't know what that is! CR ROM is EXCELLENT - the phone bill should drop a bit now! Love the fabric club! [... great idea for fabric packs...]

Thank you all once again,

Dear Margaret, Chris and Pamela

Just a note to say thanks for your speedy response to my order.

It was delight to receive the parcel. I am particularly pleased to find how close the match between the colours on the site and the actual fabrics are.

I am sure that I shall be contacting you again in the future.

Many thanks and good wishes

Email from Frances, 22nd October, 2000

Hello Chris

So far the service from you has been excellent!

When I came over to Bedford, after getting a bit lost, the first thing you did was make my friend and I a cup of coffee, now you don't get that sort of service in the big town stores! And what a joy to be able to buy fabrics over the internet when there's not time to pop over to the shop!

Email from Jeanette, UK, 22nd October, 2000

Thanks for my last order - the fabrics were wonderful and arrived very quickly.

[... great idea for improving the website ..]

nce again thanks for the excellent service.

Regards Pippa

Dear Jane,

Thank you for all of your quick responses to my inquires. It has been a pleasure dealing with you.

Email from Cindy, 15th October, 2000

Dear Margaret and Chris

Many thanks for the lovely parcel of fabrics which has arrived in plenty of time for the workshop. They're not my usual colours but they looked so good I was tempted to try something different. I'll try and remember to send you a photo when its finished.

Much appreciation and best wishes,

Email from Mary, 13th October, 2000

[my order] arrived this moring and everything is wonderful, thankyou.

On reflection, the [sticky basket] is quite a good idea- especially as when you see the fabric you may decide you want some more of the same.

My best friend has just informed me she is having another baby so it looks like I need another of your teddies.

Email from Ann, UK, 11th October, 2000

Margaret,

Having shopped with you quite happily whilst living in Norway, I am hoping you can help me now I have moved to Brunei. I paticularly like your Delft > collection fabrics but wish to purchase more than fat eights.

Can you tell me ...

Email from Elaine, Brunei, 11th October, 2000

I visited your stall at the Malvern show this year and thought that your fabric packs were great and really nicely put together. I have since bought many more of these through the internet to increase my 'fabric stash' as I make patchwork quilts...

[I] look forward to meeting you and Sunflower Fabrics soon.

Email from Penny, 10th October, 2000

... I've now recieved the fabrics (soooo fast) and they're just fab!

...

Great site, it just gets better and better!!

Regards Email from Margaret, 8th October, 2000

Just wonderful - I order fabric in the luxury of my home. it arrives in days and now there's more wonderful stuff on there.

My credit card is in for a real bashing.

Email from Kairen, 1st October, 2000

Dear Margaret,

I recieved my order to-day and I'm very pleased with it. I am very much a beginner to all of this but I thought that the pattern looked quite straight forward - hope it turns out to be so!

Thanks again

Website is brilliant, postal service from buying on-line is excellent and comp slip sent with orders always have messages which convey that personal service which is something other shops I have bought from on-line do not have. I am Writing this as I have just recived another parcel this morning and was as eager to open it as though it was still the first one. As usual the contents were brilliant.

I got it in 3 days. I have kept meaning to e-mail a thank-you, sorry it has taken so long.
I have found your website and no doubt will look for you at other quilt shows, or order on the net.
Your shop looks good, I wish I lived a bit nearer.
