I'm sure its a scam too. I've gotten them from other publications and I knew right away to shred it. It was not real.

I read (and sometimes buy) the foreign quilt magazines at Barnes and Noble. There are British, Australian, and French magazines that are three times as interesting as the over-crowded American market. I too see sameness in all the US mags.

It is definitely a scam. Unfortunately those same scammers got my name/address and started entering subscriptions under my name WITHOUT my permission. Believe me, it was a complete disaster to try and clean up THAT mess. Hope it never happens again, to me or anybody else!

I agree, I am letting my subscriptions to my quilting magazines discontinue. The patterns are all the same,so few truly original patterns. I have seen many magazines using old quilt patterns,give them a new name and this is supposed to be totally new. Not so much!

I dropped all my magazines. I don't take the time to read them and just a pain to have lying around. Some Mags have an automatic renewal, one had me paid up for 5 yrs. and kept sending me renewal notices. I dropped them like a hot potato.

Watch who you get those renewals from. They are not all legit and many are not even related to the companies. I have received several of these and will only order from the magazine directly. They always have a special deal of some kind going on.
