[quote=Prism99]The magazines have changed greatly over the years. The old ones used to have a lot of detailed articles on techniques and always seemed to feature at least one stunningly original quilt. Now the emphasis seems to be on pushing specific product lines of fabric. Fabric is featured in relatively simple quilt patterns.
I fully agree with all the comments but really feel Prism99 said what I think is the true reason for having magazines--sell products. The quilts are just old patterns with new fabrics and using the new tools they want us to buy.
I get 1 magazine, QuiltMaker, because of StashBuster Bonnie so I can use up my stash. I am so very inspired by the members of this group.
I feel this group is better than any magazine out there. Members offer all the personal help one could ever ask for and more.
I love this group for all the great projects members have shown not to mention all the tuts shared.
