Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I want to get a few subscriptions again of quilt magazines. Do you have any favorites Quilt magazines ...and if so why or why not?
When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.
I have been a personal fan of Fons and Porter of late, especially because of delivery subscription also includes access to past digital issues....good for a "search and find".........
I'm not very fond of many right now - I just let my subscriptions lapse for Quilters Newsletter and Fons and Porter.
For eye candy I like Machine Quilting Unlimited, and the American Quilters Society magazine, American Quilter. They don't have patterns, so these won't do if that's what you're looking for.

I am letting all of mine expire instead of renewing them. I just have so many. My favorite is probably Fons and Porter, then Quilt Magazine.

I like Quilt Trends. All of the rest I have let lapse.
I love American Patchwork and Quilting and also Quilter's World. I too let all my subscriptions lapse as I found that all I did was look thru them and then put them on a shelf! But, I am considering starting Quilter's World again. I'm going to ask for it for my birthday.Originally Posted by quiltsRfun

I also have let all my subscriptions expire. I have saved all of my old magazines and look through them for ideas. I am old enough that each time I look at the old magazines I have forgotten what was in them, and it is like looking at a brand new issue!
I do like American Patchwork and Quilting best though.
My favorite place to get new magazines now is at thrift stores and garage sales!
I have just bought the first issue of Quilty, I believe it is a quarterly magazine by fons and porter and I really like it. I am not very fond of other magazines because I can rarely find one that speaks to me. Go to the local bookstore and flip through a few of them and see which one suits your style most.

I'll win now but sometimes I'll lose
I've been battered, but I'll never bruise
Quilters Newsletter, Machine Quilting Unlimited, and American Quilter (the AQS magazine) are the only ones I take anymore. However, those are not the magazines to take if you want to get patterns in your magazine. I am boycotting F&P because of their atrocious marketing practices.
