check out this web page. It explains it all. It affects a lot of magazines as well. http://www.scrapbookupdate.com/2014/...es-bankruptcy/

I intensely dislike e-mags. Won't subscribe, only paper for me. The patterns that I am interested in in paper copies get torn out and filed. I have yet to see a pattern in e-mag that appeals. Is it the colors? The feel? I understand saving trees and am all for that but don't take away my magazines. Please.

I am so grateful that in the magazine dept., I am to be considered a hoarder and I part with very few of them. I have mags. that were discontinued years ago and I am so glad I kept them. Just let the grid go down and what have we got?? Nothing.

In the link provided by Garysgal, The Quilter is listed as one of the mags owned by the company that went bankrupt. The link says they filed for bancruptcy with only $75 in their account. So the magazine is gone and also probably no hope of recovering your subscription balance. Sorry!

Nothing but our minds, imaginations and our very talented hands... like all the women who have quilted through the centuries! And don't forget our TREADLES!!

It's too bad that magazines have to file for bankruptcy, but in this current economy, people are more discretionary in their extra expenditures. A couple magazines that I used to subscribe to went to digital only and since I was not happy about that, I didn't renew my magazine. I know I'm old school, however, I like to hold a quilt magazine in my hands when reading and also when working on projects from a digital magazine, I can't carry the computer into my sewing room. The computer can do a lot for quilters, but I don't believe digital magazines was the way to go.

I had that problem with Fons and Porter. I had downloaded one issue to see if I liked the digital version and decided that I really really did NOT!! But I stopped getting the paper version after that. Took two emails and a phone call before they straightened it out and I still missed one issue completely. They did extend my subscription--which I am not going to bother renewing when it runs out.

It makes me hesitate to order a subscription to any of the quilting magazines. I'm afraid they will go under too. So far I only lost one issue of Sew It today and I did take an electronic subscription to a crochet magazine but I think I will just keep buying quilt magazines at the store if I see one I like.
