Haven't subscribed in years. Most magazines I buy these days are used ones at the Friends of the Library shop. They're 10-50 cents, and I find them well worth having at that price. Some are nearly new, but it doesn't matter because the kinds of quilts I'm most interested in are timeless. I save a few pages and drop the rest in the recycle bin. It does seem to me that some magazines have gone downhill - not just the quilt ones, but others that used to feature lots of craft and home decorating ideas for a whole range of abilities and interests have in recent years changed their focus to only "easy and quick". I guess they have reason to believe that's what most of their readers want.
