I agree on the price of subscriptions now. It is sad. Other magazines like Better HOmes, Mccals, Ladies Journal I can get for 5.00. Surely quilters buy more than that. But back to the subject at hand,. I have been looking thru my magazines and I realized my favorite is all of them. I have over 50 Quilting Newsletters (for the lady who hasn't seen it mentioned yet.lol). So buy one of each and see for yourself. They also have specials now where you sign up and get a gift one for 9.95. Why can't we get it for that to begin with. Good for your friend anyway.LOL
