Mine came today! It's a lovely book... don't know how they can continue to produce such a high-quality book every other month for only $5.99! It looks like a book you'd see for $20 in a fabric shop.

The projects are easy enough for a novice, tho I did see one or two with paper piecing. It was VERY simple paper piecing tho, only 3 pcs. The quilts are modern-ISH. Most are updated versions of traditional patterns, like the Jacob's Ladder and the Periwinkle and the Snowball. You'll love it! It's so nice.

Well, first of all, it's a book. Not really a magazine by any stretch of the imagination. Full color, high quality thick pages, and NO ADS. For only $5.99! You'll love it.

I would then have to pay the standard 5$ shipping and handling fee. Do you think this is fair? I saw nothing that said that you needed to subscribe by 2/19 to get this issue mailed with no shipping and handling.

It's just like any other magazine in that they have a mailing deadline, and like any other magazine, if you want a "back issue", you'll have to pay shipping and handling. It's a substantial book-type magazine, and worth the $5 S&H.

The first issue is also available in a digital version.

Mine just arrived today. Hurray! Just looked at the postal marking: it says Richmond, VA. That explains a lot. It took the long way to get here.

Interesting layout: it is landscape, rather than traditional book format. It looks great with all the pictures. I am going to have to sit down and really check it out.

Finally received mine today. It is fantastic. Kept reading how great it was but it is nothing like I thought it would be. The quality is wonderful especially for a "magazine". I agree with everyone- it is a keeper!!

After posting on here yesterday that I hadn't received mine it came in the mail... Love it! Love MSQC, Jenny Doan and her family are some real great folks to of started such a business to bring back a small town like that. I had no idea there were so many folks employed by them... It is such a great story... I love the store too. I have had the pleasure of getting to go shopping there.

I was "Block"ed today! I love it so easy to read.

It is awesome and worth the wait. Sorry you don't have yours yet. Plan on a warm quilt to wrap up in a cup of tea and nice fireplace to spend a few hours just looking. Or if you aren't still having winter enjoy it anyway you want. So happy I ordered it and hope they continue publishing it.
