Hmmmm...I just got one Thursday and I actually checked the date up front to make sure it wasn't one I had already received. Also they seem often very theme oriented, heavy on Halloween and Christmas. Also many seems to add other crafts like wool and purses. I have made one Chrsitmas quilt in my life and no Halloween ones. I went from multiple magaizines to one and I am letting this one go too but it is for a combination of reasons.
