We moved to a much smaller house and I had to go through all my quilting mags and was shocked to see how much better the quality of the quilts were in the older issues. I have dropped most of my subscriptions because of the cost...$5 to $7 per issue is more than I want to pay and most of them are loaded with advertising and the qults are something you could dream up yourself. I use my quilting books and make up my own patterns and use the money I could have spent on mags for fabric and necessary quilting notions. I do maintain my subscription to Quiltmaker and when I am done with them they go to my daughter. The other old quilt mags are up for grabs. Some have been taken to Quilt Guild and some given to family and friends but I still have boxes to get rid of.
