Block Magazine
 
Has anyone received their MSQC Block Magazine. I was in their website and it said they were working on the second issue and I have not received the first.

Thanks for any responses.

Nope. I'm anxiously awaiting it and checking my mailbox with anticipation each day. Hopefully it will be here soon.

trennag 03-04-2014 03:36 PM

I saw this same thing! Sure hope I get it soon :)

Jackie Spencer 03-04-2014 03:48 PM

It has been several days since I got an e-mail saying it had been mailed, but I have not received mine either!

carmen garcia 03-04-2014 06:48 PM

I have not received mine either. I remember reading somewhere that they would be shipping out on the 28th. So hopefully it will be soon.

Bevsie 03-04-2014 07:05 PM

I haven't received mine either....anxiously waiting!

sandy l 03-05-2014 04:13 AM

I got my notice Feb 20th they were ready, I'm still waiting too.

deedum 03-05-2014 04:17 AM

I havent' yet either. I am hoping maybe today I will get it.

Geri B 03-05-2014 04:38 AM

...I hope it comes soon too.......to get my mind off of the snow that is falling AGAIN!

berryberry 03-05-2014 04:41 AM

I'm trying so hard to be patient, but really. At this point, they need to send an email out with the status.

It does help other people posting if they have received it since MSQC hasn't sent a status update email. At least I know it's not lost.

Onebyone 03-05-2014 05:26 AM

MSQC isn't mailing the magazines, the publisher is. It may be out of their control to know exact delivery date.

QuiltingHaven 03-05-2014 05:29 AM

I saw somewhere that there was an printer company problem. Maybe due to all the bad weather recently but then I thought okay, go get a cup of coffee and stop sitting at the mailbox. You all do know that a "watched mailbox doesn't get the Block".....just a little humor on another very cold morning.

Cam's gram 03-05-2014 05:31 AM

I got an e mail this week saying they started mailing them last Friday.

scrapinmema 03-05-2014 07:41 AM

They will not be mailed first class so it will take longer than a letter to receive.

nygal 03-05-2014 07:45 AM

I didn't get my copy yet either.

Mariposa 03-05-2014 07:47 AM

I have not seen mine yet either~~

michelleoc 03-05-2014 07:50 AM

The weather has been so bad back east, that's probably part of the problem. I'm anxious to hear what everyone thinks of the magazine. Is it a MUST subscribe? I'll be watching to hear what everyone has to say.

nativetexan 03-05-2014 08:49 AM

nope, not in Colorado yet either!

klgls 03-05-2014 11:30 AM

I was able to attend a truck show with Jenny on Saturday - so fun!! She is such a neat person! She did bring a copy of it and it is fabulous - more like a book than a magazine. Can't wait to get mine!

GailG 03-05-2014 12:49 PM

We had sleet and icicles (in the deep south) yesterday and today it's sunny and we're out in short sleeves! I hope you get you magazine soon so you can dream the snow blues away.

KerryK 03-05-2014 02:53 PM

I've not received mine yet either, and can hardly wait! I know it will be worth the wait, with Jenny at the helm!

joyce blint 03-05-2014 03:08 PM

I emailed them this aft'n. They replied saying they should be arriving within 5 business days of Feb 28th. They haven't even rec'd their copy yet either. I can hardly wait.

joyce blint 03-05-2014 03:16 PM

I emailed them this aft'n. They replied saying they should be arriving within 5 business days of Feb 28th. They haven't even rec'd their copy yet either. I can hardly wait. We're going to Paducah, KY this wkend and would love to have it to read on the way.

kydeb 03-06-2014 04:46 AM

I saw that on the website and sent them an email. The answer I received back was that the first edition left the printers on the 28th. Surely, we will get it soon!!

lovelyl 03-06-2014 04:48 AM

I subscribed, but haven't heard a word from them since. So, some of you received notices that they had been mailed? I wonder what the hold up is? I can't wait to get mine!

Geri B 03-06-2014 05:35 AM

I hope whatever the holdup is it gets smoothed out for the future editions....not a good beginning!

Barbie 03-06-2014 06:07 AM

I received a notice that my credit card had been charged a few weeks ago. Still patiently waiting for it's arrival. If the 5 day rule applies, we should get them tomorrow. Yea!

matraina 03-06-2014 06:22 AM

I have not received the first either but I think they have to prepare, edit, and all that good stuff long, long before an issue is released. So they could be working on the second issue while the first is still current.

matraina 03-06-2014 06:26 AM

QuiltingHaven , your humor is well taken. I live in Ohio, too.

oneteappot 03-06-2014 07:07 AM

Matraina
Yes, that was humor here in OHIO! Will spring ever get here? At least the sun has been out lately!
But my mailbox is still "block-less"! I am in Akron.

Carol34446 03-06-2014 07:07 AM

Not here in FL either. Was any quilting mag ever wanted to much???? Every day I hold my breath waiting for it to arrive in mailbox and every day it is not here I am let down. Maybe today, and we do not have the excuse of snow here, just grey skys and rain.

Mimiqwerty 03-06-2014 08:04 AM

I haven't received mine, either. Hope it gets here today as my reward for staying late to meet with parents of my kiddos (parent-teacher conferences).

pal 03-06-2014 08:04 AM

It's not in Barnes & Noble or Jo-Ann's yet either.

feffertim 03-06-2014 08:12 AM

I haven't received mine yet either. waiting anxiously tho

DebbE 03-06-2014 08:19 AM

Thanks, KLGLS, for that update on what it looked like....am really looking forward to receiving my first copy. I have never looked forward to a magazine arrival as excitedly as this one.

KerryK 03-06-2014 09:12 AM

What is going to be funny is that when we all finally receive the magazine, the board will be very quiet for a while! We will all be enjoying our copy of "Block!" :D

BettyGee 03-06-2014 09:31 AM

I was going to subscribe, but I already get way too many quilting magazines. Having dealt with MSQ for years I would imagine they just got overwhelmed by the response and are behind.

I doubt it will be, it's subscription or bought per issue from MSQC.

sewbizgirl 03-06-2014 11:41 AM

Don't magazines go by a class of mail called "bound and printed matter", or something to that effect? It's a bulk mailing class and is low priority, so it takes a while to be delivered. Same as catalogs, I would think.

We should get our mags any day now.

They are not behind.
