I get excited seeing a new quilting magazine come in the mail. It's such a pleasure to thumb thru and find a treasure. I have made several quilts using patterns from magazines, I've also altered a few to fit my needs in a quilt. I don't subscribe to as many as I once did and find that I go back to old issues and find renewed inspiration. It's my hobby, this quilting thing, and the magazines are just the candy to make it sweeter.
