The grocery store carries the same magazines as Wal-Mart and last time I checked at the library they didn't have back issues of that magazine. *sigh* Living in a smaller town sucks. If I ever get a chance to go to the library I'll have to check if they have back issues of the other quilting magazines you mentioned.
*sigh* Looks like I'm not going to be able to get that game from my boyfriend for a while. My boyfriend doesn't have any gas money and one of his tires blew out...and he's just too damn stubborn to take help from anybody (now I know why pride is listed as one of the seven deadly sins). Unless I can talk some sense into him, I guess its going to be a while before I can see him and get started on my quilt design.
