I have bad luck with subscriptions. I see a magazine I like at the news stand. It has several patterns I really like. I wait and when the next issue comes out, I look at it again. Wow, more great quilts. I order a subscription and it seems like none of the issues I get has anything of interest. I've reverted to just buying single issues with quilts that catch my eye. Fortunately, I have quilting friends & relatives I can give uninteresting (to me) issues to.
