I have yet to make a quilt from any of my magazine subscriptions. I look at magazines as entertainment and inspiration. My husband has subscribed to 4 Wheel and Off Road magazine since high school. (25 years.) I don't expect that he's going to build an off road vehicle, based on every issue. He just likes the articles and seeing what others are doing. Why do women think they have to justify a magazine subscription, a fabric collection or new sewing machine?
