Does anybody know how much the store cost of this magazine is? I can order it online (I'm looking for May/June 2011), but I want to make sure it's a better deal. Unfortunately the closest store to carry it is 20 miles away, so I have to consider gas costs too. :thumbdown:

used to buy quilt mags in store all the time and also had several subscriptions. NO LONGER! I discovered the many free patterns you can get online. Now I save my money for fabric.

$5.99--Sometimes JoAnn's has 10% off. I keep thinking that I will stop buying magazines, but somehow they just jump into my cart.

I don't subscribe to quilting magazines. You can find your back issues and subscribe to newsletters for McCalls at www.McCalls.com

All of their patterns are there, and when I looked yesterday for a specific pattern they even had the date of the issue.

$5.99 is the same price on their website, but then I pay shipping too. I'm looking for the helpful hints, in this issue, for cutting/using mens ties.

The magazine costs $5.99.

Our library carries McCalls, maybe you could look at it at yours?

I bought a quilting magazine at Wally world (wal-mart) there was a guy there looking at the car magazine and such....well i walked up and picked up a quilting book, he shot me a funny look, and finaly he ask me not me not enough man i see...i Showed him my Marine Corp ring and ask him what has he done with his life.....he walked away.

It is usually cheaper to order a subscription. YOu should be able to get it for $20 a year, where aan individual issue is $5.99.

Is this a good one to have a subscription for? I found some of them are not as good.

Good reply. Ignore the ignorant. And thank you for serving our country and protecting our freedom.

Why can't I delete a duplicate reply?

SALUTE!! to Gunny!! I would be proud to stand next to you at the magizine rack and so would my DH. Both of our Dads served in the Army during Vietnam. Proud of all our military service member (retired and current .... even the Reservists.) Smiley's box needs a saluting face too.


Worthy of being stated twice. :lol: :thumbup:

Good for you. Some people can be such jerks...he was one of them.

Next time you're at WalMart or another store that has magazines, look inside and pull out one of the subscription cards. If you really want to subscribe, this is usually the best deal they have because they're trying to get new subscribers. I've always taken McCalls. I like their insturctions and their quilts. Guess I'm too old to go on line for everything. Like to sit in my rocker and read a magazine.

God bless you Gunny and thanks for your service to our country....................luv you all.........

good for you!

i am going to send this to my son-in-law overseas in Korea. He will get a kick out of this
ceegee

I just renewed my subscription. It was $39 for 12 issues which included postage and handling. That works out to be $3.25 per issue.

Here's to GUNNY who served or country
and is a great quilter,too.
I have subscrptions to Mc Calls and always like what's in them
don't know what a store bought one would cost. Sorry!

There are days when you just need to sit, relax, and thumb through a magazine. Nothing wrong with that. :-)

I used to subscribe to all kinds of magazine for quilting..I no longer do either. There is so many free things on the internet that there is no need. If there is something in a magazine that I really can't live without and need to make it..then I buy. I have tons of quilting books..and I have stopped buying them also. My to do list is so long that I will never finish it..LOL.

Gunny: People are so ready to criticise anything that is unusual. They should have to try it before criticising. Thank you for all your service to the Nation. My granddaughter is in the Air Force and her husband is in the Army. God Bless you.

Some guys have no clue what makes a man a man. Believe me, I'm divorced, I know! BUT, there are no bigger heros...you selflessly protected and served and a simple thanks just isn't adequate.

Sometimes when it is not 10% off you can use your 40% off coupon.

Good for you! I hope that man did some thinking about his attitude! Jan

You could check with your local library to see if they carry this magazine.

Here is a site that has an article about using neck ties to make a quilt:

this blog shows a couple of ideas for mens neck tie quilts too: http://woofnanny.blogspot.com/2007/1...-neckties.html

here are a couple more examples of neck tie quilts: http://www.flickr.com/photos/barbian7/341791146/

I hope these have been a help.

To look at me (my avatar for now) you would not know i was a Marine. I have the long hair and the beard, and yes earings. But to tell you the truth a Marine can pick out Marines, same as Salior or Soilder can pick out there service. PS An Service member can pick out the civilian

I asked. Unfortunately, they don't subscribe to any quilting magazines. :(

Dorian,
McCall's costs $21.98 for 1yr. That is 6 issues.

Wal Mart gives you 10% off magazines.

I will look through my magazines, I'm sure it's somewhere in my house. You are welcome to the section you require. Just PM me and I will get back to you. McCall's Quilting...correct? May/June 2011? Is it even out yet?

Good for YOU~~~!!!

Thank youfor your service and for posting about these happenings. I show you men to my husband when he is here in my quilting room, I have tried and tried to get him to quilt with me. I think he would love it if he would give it a try. God bless you both.

I just subscribed top a digital version of Quilter's World at $15 for a year - PLUS the last 5 yrs worth of archive issues. I put a couple of them on a CD for future reading, may put more on.

I have the McCalls Quilting Magazine that should be on the shelf until 5/30/2011. If you pm me your address, I will send it to you. I haven't received anything from June yet. I couldn't find anything in there about neckties, so maybe I need to look again.

I teach basic quilting, but I am much more versed than many of the very simple patterns I see in far too many of the magazines these days. I like this one because they have a good balance of easy-intermediate-difficult designs, they show the same piece in more than one colorway, there are plenty of great tips...I could go on, but ....... I do recommend it.

McCall's Magazine.... Humm... Are you doing the "America The Beautiful" Blocks. I subscribed to the magazine.
