I love American Patchwork and Quilting. But I have stopped all subscriptions to quilt magazines because I can usually find any pattern I am looking for on line or library.

Quilter's Newsletter, Modern Quilts Unlimited, Machine Quilting Unlimited (even though I don't have a longarm, they have stuff for DSM's too), and Quilting Arts are my favorites. I tend to pick up random subscriptions when I see them cheap, so I think I'm also getting McCall's, AQS, and one or two others. I can't keep track though, since so many of them are dying off. That's made some of my subscriptions get lengthened out to several years after 2-3 magazines died and sold my subscription to magazines I already have - I think I'll be getting Quilter's Newsletter for the next 4 years before I have to pay again now, LOL.

I also get the sister magazine to Quilting Art - Cloth Paper Scissors and I enjoy that one a lot too. It's not a quilting magazine per se but if you do art quilts there are techniques and ideas that could transfer over.

I subscribed to Quilter's World. They give you access to the back issues and I have found lots of quilts that look dated but have good bone structure. I will probably renew my subscription. The publisher's is Annie's catalog.

I dropped all subscriptions since I had so many magazines and you can get so many patterns online. The only one I have now is Block because I like their company and Jenny.

Quilting Arts, Quilter's Newsletter, and AQS are my subscription favorites because I am more interested in techniques than patterns. All three are very current in their outlook and coverage. I also just extended my subscription to American Patchwork & Quilting simply so I could get the whole series of Jean Wells articles they're running this year. Once that's done, I'll cancel it.

Think about what you want to get out of a quilting magazine...patterms, techniques, quick quilts, challenging quilts, art quilt ideas, tips for beginners, quilts built over several issues, etc...and then look for a magazine that aims at that interest. Buy a few off the news stand first to see if it's a good fit before you commit to a full year...or more. For three out of four of the magazines I listed above, I go back to issue #1.

I use to get them all but now only subscribe to Block. I like the patterns and I want to support Jenny and her town. My friend gave me a gift subscription to Quiltmaker for Christmas. I will buy the quilt magazines from other countries at Barnes and Nobles when I go there.

But, does Joann allow it if you use their discount coupon on full purchase, when they have one? I have their VIP card and it will be one or the other not both...

I pick up Quilters Newsletter Magazine regularly. A lot of the quilt magazines have the same repeated patterns just called something else or they will feature a fabric line that you know will be hard find at a decent price. Most of my inspiration comes from the Internet now but I do check out the other magazines at Walmart. Occasionally I will see a pattern that intrigues me and I buy the magazine.

I kept getting notices to renew my subscriptions to various magazines--now I get Quilters Newsletter (expires in 2016), American Patchwork & Quilting (expires October 2016), McCall's Quilting (expires May/June 2016) and Quiltmaker (expires Nov/Dec 2015). I also subscribe to Block magazine. I think I'm well supplied!! lol I think I'll let them expire. My DH will be happier if I do.
