    I've done both of the Quilter's World & I will go back to the online subscription once my mag. runs out. For the very reason you mention where you get past issues. That way I have no magazines piling up.

They charged my credit card $18.97, not $14.97 and the only "free" gift I have received is one PDF pattern that I could print at my expense. My mistake, I thought Fons & Porter were reputable. I finally received my first issue last week, no free gifts and I am getting no where calling or emailing them. Live and learn? I have learned to not even look at their notions display at JoAnn's.

    I subscribed and waited for the free gifts, they never showed. I called and was told it was "in process" and I should recieve in 2-3 weeks. About 6 weeks passed and still nothing, so I called again, was told there was an overwhelming response to the free gift offer and I should be recieving shortly. About 2/3 weeks passed and I got my so called free gifts.......a couple of little leaflets with quilt related info in them.

    I have noticed that when you subscribe to a magazine, you don't necessarily get it before the newstands and you don't get any free cds or extras that are sometimes in the ones at the store. The newest Love of Quilting for example, was in my store earlier in the week with a free cd...I didn't get it in the mail till yesterday and no cd :(

    My absolute favourite is Irish Quilting. The magazine is top quality and I've made one of their quilts. It hangs on my bedroom wall across from my bed where I can enjoy it first thing in the morning and last thing at night. It takes a while for it to get to our magazine store here in the Yukon but it makes me so happy when I see it on the shelf.

    The other magazine I buy regularly is The Quilt Life. I love how there is a bit of recipes and other life stuff in there...it actually is about a quilt lifestyle.

    I've tried other magazines at times and have found that they just don't "go" with me and my life.

    Thank heavens we're all not the same!!!!!

    The only subscription that I have kept, due to inflation, is "Quiltmaker". It has quilts that are in my range of expertise.

    I love Quilts and More. I'm trying to locate a pattern in the Winter 2008 Edition -- in case anyone holds on to old books like I do!

    I also like American Patchwork & Quilting and McCall's the best. All the others, and I mean all the others aren't what they used to be and I don't get as much out of them as I used to. I have subscribed to all the quilting magazines over the years and have a huge collection of magazines, but these two are my favorite.

    My favorites are American Patchwork, Quiltmaker, and Quilter's World. I used to subscribe to them, but after several years I only buy magazines with patterns I like. I have a ton of magazines and I am running out of room for them!
