The first I bought were 3 separate posts:
5 issues of Quilter's Newsletter Magazine
Jan/Feb 2001, March 2001, May 2001, June 2001, July/Aug 2001
5 issues of Quilter's Newsletter Magazine
Oct. - Dec. 1999
Jan/Feb & March 2003
5 issues of Quilter's Newsletter Magazine
from Jan. - June 2000
which I got for 99 cents for each set of 5 and with combined shipping my total was a whopping $8.52 !!

And I guess the bug had bitten so I also bought another 35 quilting magazine assortment including American Patchwork & Quilting, Quilter's Newletter Magazine, Quilt World, Sew Many Quilts, Quick Quilts, Quilting Today, Big Block Quilts, McCall's Quilting, Quilt Sampler and more.....
which I won for $22.52 plus $8.25 shipping.

Let's see.... a total of 60 magazines for $47.04...that would be less than 80 cents an issue. No more subscription buying for me, just comparing auction postings to my growing list of magazines to see if I want to bid. My first buy is probably going to be here tomorrow, and I can't wait to start going through them. So, they're not new. Most of my copies were second hand from thrift stores and they have wonderful patterns. You'd be surprised what someone would send to Goodwill. lol
