I love magazines and books too. I used to suscribe to Fon's and Porter but now I just buy them randomly. My favorite mag is the Quilt Sampler because they talk about different shops through out the country and they show pics pics pics. I love seeing pics of quilt shop and reading the stories behind them. Waiting in anticipation for my secret pal name and seeing what she likes. Can't wait to fill the box up with goodies. Already have a few things lined up. This is fun and I haven't even received or sent anything out yet ... lol
