I had joined it and have let it laspe too. It is very difficult to navigate and the Tips DVD is nothing different than what is on the show. Plus each year you re-join you get the same DVD, not worth it. The patterns I got were of no use to me at all, and I recieved a free applique from Keepsake of a Teddy Bear which I used on a baby quilt. Exactly the same bear, the next year, Only thing that I enjoyed was the Easy Quilts. Keeping my money here and buying locally.
