I just purchased the subscription this summer. But I'm not going to renew it. So far the patterns I've tried have turned out terrible and I threw them away. I got the magazine because I hadn't quilted in a while, and wish I had found this board before I ordered it. I learn way more here, then their magazine, or web site. And this board is free. Although I get too many ideas, and keep ordering fabric and templates. LOL But that's ok. If I didn't love to quilt I wouldn't buy the stuff.
