I stopped my subscriptions and when I am in BooksAMillion, Borders, Walmart, Krogers I flip through them. While flipping, if I dont see one thing that catches my eye, I put it back down. Just seems to be the bright/in your face colors now, and that doesnt appeal to my taste. Also, if you have been quilting for say 20-years or so, I believe you have just about seen the core of quilting patterns. I still enjoy my books though.
