Keep up the wonderful magazine. It is my favorite. My 16 and 18 year old granddaughters were inspired to learn to knit because of this magazine.
Linda
Received my Heels and Toes Gazette today. I love it! The colors are great and I love the slick paper... and the print is a nice size for my old eyes. Thanks for a great publication!
Kim

I wanted to drop you a line and let you know that I'm really enjoying the newest Gazette (my first issue) -- what fun to receive it in the mail and peruse the patterns and yarn reviews! It's obvious that you put tons of effort, love, and time into the Gazette, so I wanted to let you know that it's most definitely appreciated!
Best Regards, Linda

My issue of the Fall Heels and Toes Gazette arrived this morning. It is gorgeous!!! You must be ecstatic with how the new color laser printer is working. I especially liked the small touches you used with the pictures, such as co-ordinating color frames to set them off. And, the print quality is incredible!
My best, Vicki
I cannot believe how fast your Gazettes arrive. Mine was waiting for me when I got home from work last night (Thursday). You only mailed it on Monday!

I love the two issues of the Gazette I've received since subscribing and just have to have the back issues! Thanks so much for sharing your talents and knowledge with all of us.
Marie
The hard work shows; the layout is clean, the graphics are good, the designs and techniques are interesting.
All the best, Beth
First, I'm thrilled with this edition of the Gazette; there are several things I like about it. The colour choices are wonderful and yes, I did find the new Font easier to read. Thank you for those changes! Thanks again for a superb issue! I'm getting some scrap yarn to practice the lace stitches in the crocus sock right now!!
Thank you as well for all your hard work you devote to making each issue
of "Heels 'n' Toes Gazette" such
a Quality publication.
I love each of my issues so far!
Hugs, Bonny

to my attention that some illegal copying of my Heels and Toes Gazette
may be going on.
This particularly pertains to knitting guilds, but, naturally
applies to anyone purchasing an issue or a subscription.
Individuals may make ONE copy of the Gazette, for their own personal needs,
as some knitters need a copy to put notes in, whilst working up the designs.
But, my Gazettes, as well as my patterns and booklets, are copyrighted material, and I reserve all rights to my work.
So, guild members and others may NOT copy the Gazette and
distribute it to their fellow guild members/friends.
On the same note, the sock patterns in the Gazettes
(as well as ALL of my patterns in the Gazette or individual patterns)
may NOT be knit up for sale.
