Love Of Quilting???$$$
 

I just got a renewal notice for Love Of Quilting. I have been letting go of most of my subscriptions (money is tight & getting tighter) but this is ridiculous!! $77.91 for 1 year (6 issues) or $155.82 for 2 years (12 issues). I hope this is a typo because this comes out to $12.98 an issue! Is this crazy or what? Has anyone else gotten this offer or am I the only lucky one? Just curious.

That's definitely one I'd pass on!

WOW I didn't even look at mine because I'm not renewing, I'll have to see if I can still find it to check.

Are you sure it's actually from Love of Quilting? Sounds like some kind of scam to me. You could pick them up at the news stand for much less.

It must be a typo. I don't subscribe, but according to the website it's much less than that.

Subscriptions made through our quilt guild are $15 for the 6 issue year.

I subscribe to magazines through magazines.com They have had some great sales for the holidays. I got a quilting mag. subscription for 4.98 for the year because they sent me a $10 off coupon in my email.

maybe they are including "free" gifts! That sure is a crazy price

The Fons & porter website says it is 16.07 plus $4 for shipping. so that is 20.97.

I received a renewal notice today from them. The price on my invoice is $20.97 for one year and/or $32.97 for 2 years.
Must be a typo that you received.

The website says $16.97/year.

I just looked at all the quilting magazines available through Amazon. Patchwork and Quilting is $86 forr 1 year/12 issues! I've never seen that magazine and I'm betting I never will.

No way this is true. Too funny.

If you think our quilting mags are pricey, I just opened the renewal notice for hubby's Model Railroader Magazine - $42.95. At least it's 12 issues, though. You can save $7.95 by getting two years for $77.95, but that's too much to come up with at one time.

I let my subscriptions go a few years ago.. it seemed like it was alot of the same just different fabrics.

i dropped all of my subscriptions a couple years ago- seemed like 1/2 the time i didn't make anything from the magazines...i still browse through the offerings at the grocery store mag rack when i shop & pick up different ones off & on- seems like i get a pretty good selection of new projects- articles- without being *committed* to one particular magazine- i must say though- i always loved the fon's & porter. if you want to renew you may be better off doing it on line directly through their site- the thing you received is not accurate...maybe it was somehow an international offer or something...

Yes, I got one.....it was for about $71; called F&P and as I remember, they said it must have been from some mag sub service. I wish I'd saved it! I looked on Amazon for the Patchwork & Quilting one mentioned, and it's for BRITISH P&Q. Our version is American P&Q. I wonder if the F&P one was like that too.

I just checked online Fons and Porter. They have one full year for $16.97 plus $4.00 S&H. If you pay online you recieve 12 quilting guides free. The advertisement goes on to state the price of the two year subscription. You might want to check it out. :):):)

There's also Australian P&Q, which is also (understandably) pretty expensive. However, that magazine has some gorgeous projects.

I sure wish the American magazines would expand their horizons. They all seem to be the same old, same old. I'd LOVE to see them start featuring more of the styles and ideas coming out of Australia and Japan.

Is this the best of the magazines?? I would love to subscribe to one after the holidays

since some have posted different prices found... i'm wondering if they are 'testing' different prices. maybe they want to see how many will call them to question that.

Wow that is bad I would not renew at all.

Definitely a typo or a scam email so be careful

I always do a google search for the magazine and usually find some fantastic prices.

F&P have been sending out the CD's with lessons and then repeatedly dunning people for payment, even though the CD's were unsolicited and therefore can be considered freebies. Perhaps this is their next marketing ploy? Maybe they figure that a few people will just renew without noticing the price.

Personally I don't care for the magazine.

I just got my renewal subscription and mine says 1 year $16.97 + $4s/h or $26.97 +$6s/h for 2 years. I don't any magazine is worth $77.00 a year.

AHA!! I renewed my subscription to Love of Quilting in October for $32.97 for two years. In November I received a statement like you did, for the renewal of the magazine for $77.91 for one year or 155.82 for two. I just ignored it but kept the statement for some reason. How interesting!! We are also having a problem with another well known magazine. I get calls about our subscription all the time ttelling me it is time to renew. Right now we are receiving 2 a month of the same magazine. I refuse to talk to them and will just let the subscription lapse.

WOW! i would pass at that price.

Sounds like a scam to me after checking their website.

Naw, you don't need it.....

You have to be careful....this "offer" sounds like it is not from the publisher but from a magazine subscription service. Watch out for them! They offer you a free or greatly reduced price because you bought some product, then they are pushing you to renew way before your subscription time is up, and at outrageous prices. We also got taken by some inner city youth program (allegedly) and they wanted a lot for a magazine. My husband said, okay he'd take one magazine to help out, but then they said, well, you have to subscribe to four magazines! Lots of scams out there. Buyer beware!

Scam
 

This is definitely a scam. I've received several of these in the last few years and just simply tear them up and throw them away. NOT affiliated with Fons and Porter at all. DO NOT SEND THEM MONEY!

I just saw on their tv program this past Sunday that they are aware of this and it is definitely a scam.

I have dropped all my subscriptions to quilt magazines. They push special fabric lines and I don't see much new that I feel is worth the price. There are a LOT of free patterns on the internet and all it costs is your time. I have patterns from years back so why spend money for more?? I think they are overly expensive compared to other magazines and they pile up and you have to do something to keep them in check, either donate them or throw them away.

I have gotten renewal notices for several of my magazines with ridiculous prices. I ignore them because I am pretty sure they are from a scam company. Just contact Love of Quilting and renew at their website.

I'm sure its a typo error. I never found much in their magazines anyway.
You can find more info here at the QB. :0)

My renewal is 18.95 for the first subscription and 10.00 for all the gift subscriptions, and they will send a CD of all the 2011 issues to each of the subscriptions as a gift.

You have to watch the return address and who to pay, their are a lot of scams out there. This one goes to Love of Quilting in Palm Coast FL, this is the right address.

Seems a bit much. Anyone notice this about Love of Quilting? They are always sealed in a plastic bag at the newsstand so you can't pick it up and leaf through it to see if you want to buy it. So I don't - it really steams me!
