Love Getting Quilt Related Mail
#11
Guess I"m "tight" too. I subscribe to Quiltmaker and Fons and Porter... The rest I usually get off ebay or from some of the quilting forums I watch. You can usually get several for the regular price of one. The patterns and ideas don't change, so I still enjoy looking at them.

I love getting yummy quilting catalogs in the mail. Recently, I got a Yankee Candle catalog from my daughter and it was "scratch and sniff". Awesome.
I wonder, are there ways that quilting catalogs could be more interactive? Maybe they could include a couple swatches or a crossword puzzle. What do you think?

i look forward to the months when i know my quilting magazines are coming. i also am a window shopper - fill the cart than look around my room and delete. too many ufo and kits from connecting threads.

I think if any of the quilting shops sending out catalogs did this, they would definitely see their business go up. I love to order fabric, but am always unsure of the quality. Feeling might just make all the difference in the world.
