Have any of you renewed? I haven't read this issue yet but when they run out of articles that I am sure they in reserve it will not be the same.

Has anyone heard what he is up to?

I also received my newest issue and I also am not renewing........I was sent a renewal card in the mail and it had Mark's signature on the request as Editor !!!!

Looked in this latest issue and I don't see his name anywhere at all.......

What's going on anyway????

Mark was here 2 weeks ago at our Okla. quilt show. I did not take his class, because I do not like his humor. Used to take the magazine, but there was too much other stuff in it. I did hear his talk was good but got a bit too racy for some. This board is where I first heard that he was not with the magazine.

I've been looking on the newsstands for weeks trying to find the quilt magazine he was in (couldn't remember the name) never did any quilting from it but enjoyed his humor although sometimes it could be somewhat offensive. Guess I can quit looking now.

He is still on QNNTV's Quilt Out Loud.
I also cancelled the mag. It is not the same without him.

Me too. With the many free issues of different magazines I've gotten over the years and the ones I've bought, I rarely subscribe any more. It seems to me that there's only so much they can put into the new issues without being repetitive and therefore boring. I do get to see "new products", though, in the new issues and I appreciate that.

I agreee with you - or what they keep in the purses! Or recipes - I don't get as quilt magazine for recipes! I got an issue or 2 and gave it up.

Not every magazine is for everybody.

I liked QH a whole lot when Mark was running it. I liked his bawdy sense of humor.

I liked the recipes. I liked the cocktail recipes. I liked the decorating sections. I Loved the product reviews!!

I'm bored with magazines that have simple pattern after simple pattern, month after month.

He quilt that too, but they had shows recorded until February. He will appear in a few sections of the show until then. After that he will not be there anymore.

I can't wait to see what he will be up to next.

I wasn't comfortable with some of his magazine articles, not a magazine to swap at my guild for sure. Remember the Allen Jackons song Going Country? Swap Quilting for Country and that is the impression I got from Mark's sudden appearance in the quilting world. I really like his modern fabric designs.

He updates on Twitter, FB, and has his own yahoo group. Last I heard, he's got a new fabric line and threads, too.

There were some QNN episodes already taped that came out after he left QH. The magazine is all about Mark...I cannot imagine it without him. I was planning to purchase a subscription and changed my mind when I heard the news.
