QUILT MAGIZINE--which one?
#34
We have no BIG selection of magazines in the small town where I live.. The big city stuff would be almost a 3 hrs drive each way..... headed to the library this afternoon to see if they have some. They do not have any listed on their website/catolog.
I have virtually given up magazines as a whole, WAY yo many ads and junk in them, but was considering a quilting one, if I find one that suits me.

I like Quilter's Newsletter and Quiltmaker. Quiltmaker does a good job with suggestions for quilting and has great illustrations and instructions. Quilter's Newsletter has a whole different approach but it carries pictures of some of the big show winners which are fun to look at. It's not so much a "how to" magazine.

Quiltmaker helps with different techiniques and has alot of patterns. You can also go on Ebay anf buy Older mags. I find the older 1985-2000 to be very informative, especially Quilters Newsletter. You can get a group of 10 for about $6.00 plus shipping. That to me is more reasonable then paying $25.00 for a catalog from Fons and Porter.

I used to have subscriptions to American Patchwork and Quilting, Fons & Porter, and Quilter's Newsletter. I only have American P & Q, now. F&P just started bugging me for some reason and QN got WAY political. Well, I buy quilting magazines for quilting, not politics. Plus, if I want to read the ones I dropped I can do that at the library. Seldom do I buy a quilt magaziine anymore. I think I have too many projects (100s!) I want to do and haven't gotten to yet.
