I am not a magazine type of person, but broke down and ordered Fons and Porter, because it was so cheap just recently. I can find lots of patterns on the internet, but love to dream about the more complex ones. From Santa I got the Sew Scrappy, from Better homes and Gardens, with favoties from American Patchwork and Quilting. I think AP&Q is a wonderful beginner to intermediate magazine, I started with that one years ago and still have a bunch, as the patterns looked like fun.
