i got a subscription to the electronic version of Quilter's World. news stand price is $5.99. mailed subscription is $21.95, including postage, which comes to $3.66 per issue. electronic is $14.97 ($2.50 per issue). the subscription price includes access to their online archive of back issues. it goes back two years. sooooo .... let's see ... haul out the calculator again ... the first year is actually three years, so that's like 83 cents an issue.
it's a hoot, really. the digital magazine has everything the paper version does - including all the advertisements. no escaping those, i guess. :lol:
here's a link to a free sample issue from Dec 08:

************** just soze ya know i'm NOT a paid spokesperson for QW, here's info about another magazine i've subscribed to in the past *****
a membership in the American Quilters' Society is $25. it includes 6 issues of their magazine. according to their website, this year's subscription includes a free copy of a book about mosaic applique. the book sells for $23. sounds like a deal to me.
the magazine features high end quilts and techniques, but a lot of the ideas could be used to jazz up basic quilts, too. book prices on amazon are often lower than the member discounted price but they have bazillions available. you could browse and drool for days. :lol:
