Quilter's Home was fun at the beginning, but not really my cup of tea, even before Mark left it. I didn't renew.

A sad day in the quiting world,when Quilters Home lost Mark! I have every issue and met Mark a few times.
I will not be getting anymore magazines from that publisher. Mark brought a different pizzaz to his magazine,which was so much fun to read.
I hope he makes it with his fabric line and working with Olfray ribbons.

Received my quilter's home mag today. It really is a disappointment. I so enjoyed looking forward to getting my issue each time. I would pour over the pages, read it from cover to cover. Then I didn't even realize that something was missing, but knew something was amiss. Then it dawned on me. Mark was missing. Guess I wasn't reading close enough :oops:
The new editors are trying. But it is kind of like when we were in school. No one can ever copy that really cool dude. You just don't know what it is that makes him so popular and so cool. He just has that "IT" factor. Well, Mark was that guy. Quilter's home is now suffering. It just feels like a bunch of wannabes, and it is falling way short.
Too bad I signed up for 2 years. I am hoping I can maybe get a refund. Just can't stand to read the wannabe's anymore.
Thanks for letting me rant,
Jackie

I keep telling myself I have enough quilting magazines(I cannot seem to part with them either), but I continue to buy new ones. I just love to look at the quilts and project and dream of making them.
