Hi Bev ~I took out a 3 year subscription to Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting magazine, simply because my sister recommended it and I got a good $ deal by signing on for the 3 years. HOWEVER, I've been disappointed by the amount of "easy/beginner" quilt patterns they offer. I can see why my sister likes it, since she has been quilting for over 20 years and there are some wonderful higher skill level patterns in the magazine. I'm a fairly novice quilter and quilting is my "therapy", as it were, ...... a creative outlet that destresses me. I don't like it when things turn into frustration. So, have I made any of the lovely quilts in the "Love of Quilting" magazine? Nope, not really. Now, as someone else suggested, Fons & Prter do have an "Easy Quilts" publication that I have purchesed from time to time and I find those patterns very do-able. Nita
