I have purchased several $6-9 patterns, but am rethinking that whole process. I have shelves of books and magazines already that I am sure have enough for me to do for years to come. I am going to spend that money on more stash!!! I also am letting my 2 magazine subs. drop. Too many art quilts (which I do like to look at) and not enough info, tips, etc. I learn so much more here.
