I looked through a magazine yesterday that didn't really turn me on. It goes in spurts.
Also, I am very spoiled by all the great things I have found through QB! I have a complete library on my computer. It would be safe to say that I don't really need to find anything else. I don't have enough years in two lifetimes to do them all! LOL

I'm thinking that I will try Fabric Trends,now that Mark Lipinski is editor. And I may try online Quilters World. Where is there room to store these magazines?! We have an exchange table at our Guild so I can often read magazines I rarely buy.
However, even if you use just one pattern, it is still cheaper than buying a single pattern. I agree that the magazines now seem to serve the manufacturers needs rather than quilters'.

it seems to me that they are more interested in promoting a manufacturer's line of fabric than actually making something unique. personally letting all of my subscriptions expire.

I go to the library and take the mags out.

Yep got my MCcalls yesterday.nothing in it of interest and very boring read. And notice not near as many pages in any of them anymore.

The reason they all look the same could very well be because many are owned by the same publisher, which also owns Keepsake Quilting. I would like to see some things that aren't super easy or aren't super difficult.

same here , i wait and wait for the magazine and then its a let down , disappointed :cry:

I have dropped all my subscriptions except Quiltmaker. I don't think I will even renew it next time.

glad so many agree...I really don't know what they can come up with new..I usually take a few in every month for guild and put them on the table. Free for the taking and please don't bring them back LOL...I give alot to my DD and tell her if I have torn out a pattern. I have a notebook full of potentials too. Right now I am just working on UFO's and am determined NO new stuff til the pile goes down.

I agree...they seem to be repeating the patterns over and over just in different color ways.
