Hi
Is it worth it to get the BHG patchwork and quilting magazine?
I'm considering it, as it is 30 dollars or so for 2 years..
Any info I should know about it?
Thanks

BHG magzine is a good informitive Magazine. But if you get it for the quilt patterns they have,The Quilt-Lovers Favorites Book they put out are for me the best thing to do. They take the best of the quilting patterns from past magazines and publish them in a book that lies flat and easy to comprehend and Pictures show a lot.
For me the magazine after awhile takes up a lot of space and with the The Quilt-Lovers Favorites I can find the pattern I want and have all the info about yardage everything right there.
There are 8 Vol. now and I have all 8. Patterns from beginners to advanced.
Just my opininion.

It is the only one I subscribe to! It is well worth the $$ to me! If a mag holds 2-3 projects I just have to make, then it is so worth it to me....I can't wait till the next one comes in the mail! So...I vote 'yes'...:)Skeat

Thanks for the recommendations for the magazine and also the books. I'll have to check them out. I don't get any quilting magazines. My birthday and Christmas are right around the corner! I do use the Better Homes and Gardens Complete Guide to Quilting as my basic go-to reference book for quilting how-to instructions. It covers it all and I've found it very helpful as a beginner. I originally bought it as a gift for my SIL but ended up using it myself and had to get her another one.

This is good to know. I've actually wondered about the same thing. Is it six issues a year?
