I just got my first Fabric Trends yesterday and thought I had ordered the wrong magazine. His humor and the variety of articles in Quilter's Home influenced my decision to subscribe to his new venture. The Fabric Trends I received is the same old, same old -- very pretty but just quilt patterns in new fabrics. I went thru it in about 20 minutes. I'm going to see if I can get a refund, I really don't want it. Most important, sorry to read Mark has these health issues and wish him the best. I met him a few months ago at a guild show and we got into a fun conversation. People were whispering if this man was or wasn't ML (he was just shopping around by himself) so I asked him, it was, and I spent some delightful time talking with him. I've also seen him as a guest speaker and once he's well and making appearances again, if you have the chance to see him, GO!!!
