I used to have several subscriptions and then picked up even more if something on the cover struck me as interesting...I've dropped all of them! All of you are right...same patterns in different colors. I went through all my old magazines, tore out the patterns and articles I like and organized them into binders according to technique. I think I must have enough patterns that I want to make to last me three lifetimes...so I really don't need doubles or re-runs that are in the magazines! I really am trying to justify this cut from my hobby budget...sounds good doesn't it???
