I would borrow from the library if $$ is a factor.Most magazines become repetitive and boring after a while so I don't bother with subscriptions and just pick up what looks interesting after a quick browse. Now I mostly browse the internet instead and you get more value from watching regular shows such as The Quilt Show with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims.

I have looked at different ones but have a subscription to McCall's

We get McCalls at our library here, and I really like it.

The one I would NOT recommend to anyone is "Quilter's Home". There are very few patterns and too many slams at any and everything in it.

Definitely a waste of money, when subscription expires it definitely won't be renewed. It's gone downhill more every issue.

But as someone else said look through them and purchase an issue of different ones until you find one you like.

Quiltmaker is a good one, so is American patchwork and Quilting, and Pons and Porter, but I think I perfer Quiltmaker. You know, you start with one and end up with many.

If you can find a huge bookstore with lots of choices, I'd go there and play around in the racks til you find what you want. I like Quick Quilts and Easy Quilts. I buy them for the quilt patterns but they have lots of what you're looking for....runners, pin cushions, tote bags, etc.

TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!!!! My subscription expired a few months ago and I'll never have another one....Just not worth it for a few recipes and three quilt patterns.

May I ask Where I can get the pattern of your Bargello with the cross ? I would love to make this for my niece.

Try a google search for quilt magazines and look at the different ones at their websites. It will give you a good idea of the magazine content.
This is me too. I find more in American Patchwork and Quilting that appeals to me. Did like Fons and Porter but not so much these days.

I read Quilter's Newsletter. I work quilt projects from Fons and Porter. I collect the old Quilt magazines and her sister publications.
