Quilt magazine?
#23
This year I finally quit the subscriptions, but in the beginning I really enjoyed getting a few quilt mags in the mail to enjoy looking at in the evening, etc and seeing new fabric lines and lots of ideas. Our favorite LQS has a large basket in her store and we take the magazines we no longer want/need and we do a swap from the basket. She also takes in a few mags/books for the husbands who sit and wait :-) I think it is a very nice idea. You will soon learn your favorite - mine is Fons and Porter.

The only one I still have is American Patchwork and Quilting. The others are available at my library if I want to check them out. I used to also subscribe to Fons & Porter and Quilter's Newsletter. I really liked QN and then all of a sudden they got really political. Not why I buy a quilt mag. so away they went. I have noticed they aren't as bad now, but too late.

I gave all of my subscriptions up ... there just wasn't much new in them. I recommend you by some different one from the mag counter... yes you will pay a bit more ... but until you can figure out which one is more to your liking.. you wonlt be stuck with a year of that one magazine. Spend some time and paruse them.. before buying picking one that has something that sparks your interest... but don't get a years worth just yet.

I don't buy subscriptions but I pick a lot of magazines up while shopping and buy them that way. The first two I always look for are American Patchwork and Quilting and then Fons and Porter. APQ has lots of great patterns and F&P has lots of good instructional info plus nice patterns. I look for the McCalls one too but it must sell out fast as I rarely find it on the news stands.

I have a whole bookcase full of quilt mags. Love the eye candy but have never made a quilt from a mag.
Qnn used to be free till Fons and Porter bought it, now it costs about 24 dollars a year.
Here is a free site.
