I always like the Australian quilting magazine and even collected them for a while. I have a huge shelf of them. They are quite different and the ads are different for the most part. They usually had a large pull out section for applique patterns. My neighbor had a full collection of Quilter's Newsletter and donated them to some museum in Muncie, IN.
I find that a good pattern book is what I use, like Jinny Beyer's, but I also have three 3-ring notebooks labeled Quilt Fun. Probably have enough fabric too, but am out of energy and time.
