I too have stopped all my subscriptions to quilting mags. A few yrs ago I decided it was time to clear out the yrs worth of mags I had so I decided to go through them & rip out patterns I thought I might make while I'm still on this earth. Wow, did I ever feel ripped off (pun intended)after doing that! Once in a while there would be a new design, but the vast majority were the same - pineapple, log cabin, various 9 patches, and other public domain blocks. I dropped McCalls Quilting after receiving a renewal notice that really ticked me off. It came in a yellow envelope with large lettering that made it seem like one of my utilities was going to be turned off if I didn't "pay my bill immediately". I wrote to them about it, but never heard back. I also decided to drop Fons & Porter's mag after receiving an unsolicited cd in the mail with patterns for antique quilts. The cd said it was mine to keep for free as it was sent without my request, but then they hounded me for payment for 6 months. I finally packed it up & sent it back with a terse letter to leave me alone! From what I understand they no longer own their mag so they probably had nothing to do with this tactic, but still it is very unprofessional on the part of these mag companies to do this!
