So congratulations to all of you and please keep up your wonderful work.
please understand, that in today's market of "why buy a magazine, when I can find everything ONLINE" the magazine publishers are having a tough time finding people who will publish a pattern in a magazine anymore. THey are all doing blogs, selling their wares on Etsy, or on the blog..who needs the hassle of a magazine publishing? So, they are stuck with Beginner designers and beginner style patterns. The only NEW stuff you will find is now all geared to ART stuff...so the more advanced, experienced quilter is pretty much dumping their mag. scripts these days!
