First of all the price of these magazines is getting, for me anyway, a bit out of range. $7 or more for a magazine that is way thinner than in the past, and many more ads just doesn't justify the price they demand now.
Also, the last the time I took a new magazine to the quilt store to get fabric from the featured quilt the ladies all laughed and said that by the time the magazine comes out that fabric is "old" and gone.
I have had a quilt that I like and make it periodically that I got from a magazine that is several years old. Imagine my surprse when I saw the exact magazine layout in the same magazine this year. Now what's up with that??????
