If you could only have one......

I never thought about doing that. I guess I could even drag out all of my old issues and see if I missed anything. Duh! Thanks for the input!

I don't subscribe any more cause there seem to be zillions of free patterns online. The only magazine I ever found to have gorgeous original things you don't see everywhere was "Australian Patchwork and Quilting" which was pretty expensive in the U.S., but I still refer to my years-old ones for ideas. I have no idea if it is even still published.

I have never made a quilt from a magazine. But I do have a big stash of them and am running out of room to store them. Im down to two subscriptions - Block and Fons and Porters. I do enjoy getting them in the mail.

I currently subscribe to Quilting Arts (and have since 2002), American Quilter (the American Quilter's Society magazine that comes with membership), American Patchwork and Quilting (which I will not renew), and Quilters Newsletter (which I'm about to cancel after only 2 issues because they now add 30-page catalogs of non-quilting related merchandise stapled in the center ).
If I could only have one, it would be Quilting Arts, hands down, as art quilts are my primary interest. I don't have any interest in making someone else's pattern, but I am definitely a technique junkie. Second choice would be American Quilter.

I stopped subscribing to magazines about 5 years ago. I get newsletters from all kinds of fabric vendors and get pictures and patterns (some of which are free); I joined Craftsy, not only for the classes, but for the patterns; and I get several different types of blog updates. Since I not only quilt, but sew, crochet and craft, I enjoy getting email from a lot of different sources.

With all the free patterns online, I quit taking all quilting magazines. Now I have to figure out what to do with twelve years of magazines....I quit when I realized they were just changing a couple colors and showing the same thing all the time.
