After many years of having subscriptions to the popular magazines on the market here in America I stopped all of them. They were either just the same quilts made with the latest fabric 'collections' or full of advertising. Now I buy ones that have patterns or articles I want to read. I will NOT buy Fons & Porter because they are plastic wrapped. Shame on you, F&P for endorsing this waste of plastic and why should I buy 'blind'? My favorites right now are 'Irish Quilting' and two Austrailian publications: 'Handmade' and Austrailian Patchwork and Quilting'. Always something different, interesting and not same old/same old.
