what I can save on magazines can help pay for one good quilt book, pattern, video etc. and I have decided to keep a lot of my older magazines as they are a good source of inspiration and also better patterns I have also lost interest in quilt shows as most of them are all done commercially anymore seems gone are the good days with hand quilters and people designed quilts it use to be fun to go to a quilt show and oh and ah over someones tiny stitches but I do not get excited over what a computer can do just my thoughts
