I have also stopped all my subscriptions. It has been a very long time since I have seen a pattern that inspired me. They are all showcases for the latest fabric lines. It seems that we are having to pay to see their advertisements. I save my money to buy books from teachers that I like.
It is getting to be that way with a lot of things. Think about how many movies are just infomercials for toys and merchandise. It must make a lot of ad execs happy that we are willing to pay very good money to see their commercials.
