I got the new quilt magazine by Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson. I'm not real thrilled with it. 80% art quilts, which I really have no interest in....good reading otherwise tho. Let me know what you think, there are alot of fans of art quilts out there I know

Art quilts are beautiful, but I prefer to make bed quilts to give to my family and friends.

I'm not interested in art quilts. They are pretty but I would rather see pieced quilts that I might enjoy makeing if I buy a magizine.

This will be an interesting thread...I didn't subscribe, but I like mags with lots of patterns and how to technique articles.

I'll have to see if I can find it because I make art quilts.

Me too! :D

I browsed through the magazine but it didn't interest me. I heard that Eleanor Burns is thinking of doing a Quilt in a Day Magazine. Now that is one I know I'd be interested in.

oh yes, I like Eleanor too. I'm to help teach a young girl this summer how to quilt and i told her Mom to have her watch Quilt in A Day show, it's just back on our PBS station.

When does a quilt stop being a quilt and turn into fabrie art? Went to a hugh quilt show and was delighted to see the art quilts - was very dissapointed that there were nor award ribbons on useable quilts. It seemed the more machine quilting the happier the judges were. Just a observation.

What would we do without Eleanor.

i to got the mag, didnt like im a bed quilt maker and besides art quilts make my eyes cross.love e burns,and a patchwork and q

Learn to pick up our own scraps??? :lol: :lol:

art quilts are nice and sometime down the road I might make a couple, but I perfere to make bed quilts when I learn to quilt

i would also like a mag by eleanor burns. i like throw quilts/bed quilts/baby quilts. i think art quilts are wonderful but just not my taste..

I agree ladies, I don't care for art quilts, I like huggable, lovable, scrappy or pieced quilts.

I too like to look at art quilts but would rather make something useful. I'm not much for wall hangings, they gather too much dust and I already have enough of that

Are there patterns that follow the showcased art quilts?

I don't do the art thing. I like reg old quilts.

Me too. Eleanor Burns is my favorite. I'd get a lifetime subscription to that. How do we give her encouragement to do it.
:thumbup:

You should see the floor behind my chair LMBO

LOL good one.
If you want to watch videos of Eleanor Burns,she has some on her website. also there are lots of them on http://quilterstv.com
http://quiltinaday.com

they were running a special introductory offer of $20/year so I did it but don't think I would ever renew...I enjoyed reading the articles tho...did I hear that Mark Lipinski sold his rights to Quilters Home???? didn't like that one either...drink recipes in a quilt mag...WOW, whats up with that?

Eleanor mentioned this when I was at QIAD a couple of weeks ago - there was some talk of it, but she said she has no plans of doing one. :cry: Her new book is pretty cool, tho :wink:

I looked at "Quilt Life", and decided against it - just not my style of quilt magazine. I'll stick to picking up the ones that strike my fancy instead of subscribing I suppose.
