    There are days when you just need to sit, relax, and thumb through a magazine. Nothing wrong with that. :-)

    I used to subscribe to all kinds of magazine for quilting..I no longer do either. There is so many free things on the internet that there is no need. If there is something in a magazine that I really can't live without and need to make it..then I buy. I have tons of quilting books..and I have stopped buying them also. My to do list is so long that I will never finish it..LOL.

    Gunny: People are so ready to criticise anything that is unusual. They should have to try it before criticising. Thank you for all your service to the Nation. My granddaughter is in the Air Force and her husband is in the Army. God Bless you.

    Some guys have no clue what makes a man a man. Believe me, I'm divorced, I know! BUT, there are no bigger heros...you selflessly protected and served and a simple thanks just isn't adequate.

    Sometimes when it is not 10% off you can use your 40% off coupon.

    You could check with your local library to see if they carry this magazine.

    http://huntsville.about.com/od/tips/a/silktiequilt.htm

    You can also see a photos of some at: http://0.tqn.com/d/quilting/1/0/s/F/...ktie_quilt.jpg

    this blog shows a couple of ideas for mens neck tie quilts too: http://woofnanny.blogspot.com/2007/1...-neckties.html

    here are a couple more examples of neck tie quilts: http://www.flickr.com/photos/barbian7/341791146/

    I hope these have been a help.
