wow, you are lucky to have them on tv....not here anymore, or at least I can't find it.......(Illinois)
RE: subscriptions/mags....I have discontinued all of my subs.....I look at the local Walmart monthly at the offerings there, and if something really "hits" me I will buy the mag....It seems they are all the same, just different fabs and lots of ads!!!!!

My in laws bought me 1 yr one time, Australian P&Q, indeed it is very nice. I was also able to buy some from a person on this board.

Like quiltmom04 I detest the mags. sealed in plastic bags. I stopped all subscriptions to save money, and space. I now go to my local public library one afternoon a month to read my favorite ones for FREE. I can also check out issues for a week if there is something I really like. Most of the stuff in American magazines is about as interesting as oatmeal anyway. For a treat sometimes I buy the Australian issues, at Joannes where they are 10% off. I leaf through the mag. at the store and only buy if there is something in it I am really interested in.

That is way too pricey for me.... If I really want a pattern from a magazine I just head on over to Ebay and check out those. Heck, 99cents and there are hundreds of them. I have a notebook full, and I have the ones I want.

From Amazon: be careful to read the fine print..some of the magazines are auto renewel.

Love of Quilting by New Track Media Llc - Magazine Subscription - 6 issues / 12 months
$20.97 ($3.49/issue)

I would call the company-

I'm not renewing any magazine

I just got a renewsal notice. It is $20.97 /1yr and $32.97/2 yrs. I am not going to renew since I did not find many w quilts that I wanted to make. I am not a great sibscriber to mags so I prefer to buy a seperate pattern or look for "free" on the internet.

This is definately a scam. F n P have commented on it. Cant recall where. Possibly facebook. They have had others and are trying to squelsh it.

This is a scam. If there is any question,go to the site, NOT the one on the email.

I got one of those and I ignored and a month later I got a did not pay notice that was DOUBLE. Thought about calling the the number to ask what the heck was going on. IT HAS TO BE A SCAM! You'lll notice that its a subscription service of some kind. Wonder if Fons and Porter knows about this? Don't have the papers any more. Wish I did so I could give F&P a call to let them know.

I stopped all my quilting magazines subscriptions. I was tired of all the ads. I find being on this board and other sites on the internet allow me to download the patterns I want and ignore the rest.

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.

I recently renewed mine. I think it was about $21, and that included a free gift subscription as well.

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!

This isn't a typo,it's a scam. I have had several of these letters. One time I even called the magazine they were supposed to be selling and let them know about it. Don't fall for it!

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!

They must deliver the mags in person for that price!!!!

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.

I too quit subscribing....It just seemed like another collection that I did not need. I buy a magazine at the store when I see one I really want.

I got one too! I could not believe it! I tossed it in the can. I decided to pull it out and write a letter complaining about their prices but hubby dumped coffee grinds on it. Needless to say I am not renewing.

i got one of those renewal and its a scam fons and porter had a notice one time on their web site i would let it go and get the notice from them

it a scam..theres a notice on the site and facebook too..i believe

I let all but one of my magazine subscriptions lapse. I use to get 3 or 4 until I realized I just wasn't using them and didn't enjoy even reading them anymore. I kept Quilting Arts since it actually has new things in it.Not just strip or rectangle or squares cut from the flavor of the month fabric.

I cancelled all my quilting magazine subscriptions....if I want one I can always pick it up on the news stand or get a pattern from one of my quilting friends...I mean, how many do we need????

Run, I repeat, run to the nearest trash can and pitch this one in it. You can buy it at the news stand for a lot less.

Is that American Patchwork and quilting magazine? My mom usually gets a 2 year subscription for me for about $32 for 2 years? My Love of Quilting had a special offer of $15 for one year. I only subscribe if a magazine can give me a "great" deal as they cost about $6.99 at the store.

Well I guess the magazines will be on reserve at the Library .. wow!! I am letting all my subscriptions go (lost my job- long story!LOL)and am going to the library to get books. SO I told DH all the magazines will have to do without my monies and I will get them from the Library.

Something's NOT RIGHT with that notice ! It has to be one of the sub. service scams. Throw it in the TRASH !!
I got a renewal offer from F&P (after letting my sub. expire) and it was much less than that. It was for 2 years, for about $34 I think ... not a bad $ but I don't think I'll renew ... too many mag, too many patterns all look the same ...

GOOD LUCK getting the 12 Free guides !! ... I only got the promised Freebies ONCE from F&P, several other times I renewed, I had to call or email and they FINALLY sent them ... months later. Plus the mess with that "free" CD they sent out and then try to BILL you for !!
Another reason I won't renew with them again ...

This quilting board is MY "Love of Quilting"... I get all I want or need from these wonderful fellow quilters. Why would anyone pay for this content and contact??

I'd surely pass on that subscription renewal no matter what price (unless it's FREE).

That IS annoying ... but nothing says you can't gently open the silly bag and look through the mag ... just saying ...

BOGUS! Some sort of scam.

That's crazy! But some mags are 7$ a book!

There is someone sending renewal notices for sewing/quilting magazines at terrible prices. These are scams....tear up and toss!! Valid offers will come with the costs that you expect.

It is a scam. I just got mine renewed through 2014 for thirty something dollars. The notice came from the Fon's and Porter Magazine.

I got that one too. If you look at in very closely, you will see it is an offer not a renewal. Toss it, it is junk!!!!

This sounds fishy to me. Are your sure it's truly from Love of Quilting?

I don't think that is from Fons and Porter. There are a lot of magazine scams. I get several "invoices" for my "subscription renewal" every month. They come from several "magazine subscription billing services". I order all my magazines directly from the publisher and the only bills I pay are the ones they send me. Several of my magazines have posted notices on the subscription page saying not to pay invoices from magazine billing subscription services because they have no connection to the actual magazine publishers. My Love of Quilting renewal was $20.97 for 1 year when I renewed last May. I would just shred that renewal form and ignore anything that doesn't come directly from Fons and Porter.
