I love everything about your studio but especially that it is a Christian based business that a family runs with what looks like a lot of fun and a lot of love. Fabric is my weekness and close family relationships is my other! win win!!

[Karen N]

You have a fabulous range of fabrics and a lovely selection of clothes to make. Have you ever thought about branching into table runners and/or cushions. I think you would come up with some fabulous creations. The messenger bag looks like a great accessory for when you want your hands free (maybe fabric shopping).

Cute! With a 4 year old and a 1 year old I carry a LOT of stuff, especially to church! This would be great!

[Heather Gaffney]

I love the choices of fabrics and patterns. I would love to see even more patterns - kids' clothes, home decor items, etc. Also, like Jenny, I prefer to support Christian families and businesses whenever I can.

Oh I love it!!! My favorite thing about Marie Madeline Studio is all of you beautiful girls. I can tell you all truly love each other and the Lord. Your joy and commitment to each other is beautiful.

And I love your fabrics, patterns and what you make from them.

[Kelly Ann T.]

I like the street fair skirts pattern. These are so cute.

[Mia J.]

I really like all the different choices of fabrics. They are all so pretty. I surely could put one of these beautiful bags to good use. Thanks for the chance.

[Shellie Seering]

Christmas present?!?! No way, this bag is too adorable to give away!

[sangeetha]

Love the bag perfect for work

[Hannah L.]

My favorite thing about Marie Madeline is how you weave modest and pretty together so creatively. I've never seen any frump on your site, but neither are you trying to be, 'hip,' which is the goal of a lot of modest clothing sites. Your style is gorgeous in a very classic way, with lots of pink and flowers and polka dots. You tread a very fine line. Thanks!!!

God bless,
~Hannah L.

I'd love to enter for this giveaway!
And maybe I'll make one one day if I don't win... I'm always carrying books around and my siblings could use one for school books when we go places!

Thanks!

Well I definitely like all the sales and giveaways you have on your site. Also, when I received an order this summer from you, I liked the special wrapping you included with each fabric...and the special personal touch you gave to my order. Thanks!

I love this bag - with two kids, it would be great for all of their things. Or, better yet, my sis in law may need it more with her four children! Love all the fabrics and designs.

[Alanna N.]

I love it...it is too gorgeous. I would like to see you guys put quilts into your studio. My favourite item in your store right now would be the Gracie Ruffle Skirt and Street Fair Skirts.

I found your site through Money Saving Mom and am loving your fabrics and designs! I'd love to see some hair bands, head scarves, or bandanas...something along those lines. Beautiful work!

I'm LOVIN' this messenger bag! It's so girly and I LOVE big bags. :)
I also love your bright colours - nothing drab. And the little girl's skirts are so cute! I think I'm going to snoop around the site some more to see if I can't find some patterns :)
I'm going to post it on Facebook and refer some friends to your facebook page.

Thanks for the opportunity to enter this wonderful give away!

[Mesha]

This is the first time I have been to this website and I love all of your stuff! I would love to have one of these bags. They look wonderful!

[Renata]

I love the colorful patterns you use and the ideas that come up with are so creative.

[Marjorie Whitney]

I'd love it if you'd add some things that would work well for mobility challenged folks. For example, I have a niece in a wheelchair who can't deal with buttons or zippers or anything that requires fine eye/hand coordination. Maybe some floor length skirts that had elastic waists, or shirts that didn't take ties, zippers or buttons? Thanks for listening.

[Marjorie Whitney]

The fabrics are very nice, and I'm so glad you can customize with things like fabric selections.
