Then they seal the mag in a plastic bag, so you cannot browse inside to see what's in it! I have noticed an upswing in other crafty things and a decline in quilting things, but that's just in my area maybe......
If it's wrapped in plastic, I won't buy it. I subscribed to Quiltmaker for 15 years, but just recently let my subscription lapse. For the last 2 years, there hasn't been *anything* in the magazine that I wanted to make. I agree with you about the rehashed patterns and the ugly fabrics.
