I subscribed to quite a few for about 5 years, either my own purchase or gifts received. I noticed, in all of them, that after about 2 years, they started to "recycle" the patterns they were publishing. Sorry, but taking the same block and making it in different colors doesn't constitute a new idea in my book. Several magazines have web sites where they have patterns available for free download. Or, if I see one that I do like, I will just buy the single issue. I dropped all the mags; the last one is set to expire this Fall. I do not plan on renewing any.
