oh, but sometimes you can Print what is on that screen......and that way you just have the pattern, minus all the ads....

The only magazine I take a subscription to anymore is American Patchwork and Quilting. It's my favorite. Unlike many, I'm not crazy about the wild modern fabrics and designs. I'm more of a traditional fabric and design quilter. I do like Quick Quilts. I've learned to thumb through them at Walmart or other newsstands and decide whether or not to buy it. IF there's nothing in there I would make, why buy it???

i am with you on jenny, but i didn't know there was a subscription for the new magazine, i ordered the first issue from msqc as i got it autographed. lucky me.
