As a newbie, I love the Quick Quilt's Magazine. Great ideas that I can do. Right now I don't subscribe to any quilting magazines, I just buy one if there is something that catches my eye. Except for Jenny Doan's Quilting Quickly magazine. She's my hero. I agree with you, paying $40.00 a year for something that I "might" use 5% of just isn't a wise use of my money. God Bless each of you, Vonda
