I live in So Cal. Most of my grocery stores only carry Fons and Porter mags and they just aren't my thing. However JoAnn's carries quite a few that I like. Also our local Barnes and Noble carries a lot of quilt mags. We also have an electrical appliance store (Fry's) that carries all kinds of magazines, some quilting. I've become addicted to some magazines that are published in England. They come in plastic at the store, but I finally subscribed. They have some interesting articles and patterns that are different. The shipping is added to the cost, but I find them great.
