Agreed....they can call them by any name they choose,but I choose not to pay the inflated prices.
Not that it matters to them, but I like having choices.

Not worth it amnymore with friends like ours on this board.

WAY too much!! And they have sooooooooooooo much advertising. Between all the wonderful pictures, patterns, etc on this board and free stuff on the internet it's hard to justify spending anything on a magazine. And then there's the library - Free fits in my budget!

I used to buy them until the prices got too high. Now I just log onto the magazine's website and they alway have free patterns to print out. You can also go to " www.freequiltpatterns.com". I have found more patterns this way than I did buying those magazines. The Public Library has quilt magazines that you can check out too.
