I agree with CRH, the next magazine COULD HAVE the ONE!!!!!!

I love QN magazine and all of the ones from Australia. I also like the new one from Ireland. I pick my own fabric out for all my quilts. But I love looking at all the art quilts and reading about how they came to be. I don't care for traditional quilts as much as art quilts so Fons and Porters is one that I don't buy or read. Or any of the Easy Quilts mags.

I'm wanting to subscribe to a quilt magazine. I recently bought a Fons & Porter's. I really enjoyed it. In fact my son observed that "you really took a long time to read that magazine". Does anyone else enjoy this magazine?

I love F&P...one of my favorites...if I had to choose I think I use more patterns out of the "Quiltmaker" than any other magazine....I buy Au "Homemaker" at the LQS and I really like that one too...its $10 but love the reading as much as patterns

I really like magazines that have patterns too. I'll have to look for that mag the next time I'm at Barnes Noble.

I was a long time subscriber to Quilter's Newsletter going back to the first when it was all in black and white, on a mimeograph machine. I still have thosse treasured issues. When they went to slick paper and color was in heaven, so many ideas and great patterns. In the late 80's they started changing and by the 90's it was not good. I stopped my subscription then, and just buy when they have an issue that appeals to me.
On Mark Lipinski, I got one issue of his Quilter's Home, and immediately called and cancelled it. Don't care for his style at all, not enough about quilting in it for me.
I love Quiltmaker and plan to subscribe to it soon.. Will be dropping Quilt when the sub runs out and maybe Fons and Porter too...

I too have lost interest in my Quilt magazines. I found that they offered ideas and were good eye candy, but most of my quilts came from ideas and web sites recommended through this wonderful board and at no charge. THANKS EVERYONE

I used to love, love, love QN primarily for its emphasis on art quilts. I guess they can't please everyone! But I've gotten extremely bored with the magazine and its new format the last couple of years. My renewal came up a few months ago, and for the first time in 10 years, I did not renew. Now, I am inundated with reminders, special offers and persistent mail from them, which is more annoying than their magazine.

I don't care much for Mark Lipinski's magazine either. Too chatty and in your face.

I finally have come to the conclusion that I subscribe to too many magazines. My all-time high was eight or nine when I first started quilting with a vengeance. My list has dwindled down considerably. I have enough magazines and articles in my "saved" piles to last another lifetime.

I am down to only 3 quilting mags now. My favorite is Quilters Home with Mark Lipinski. It is now my all time favorite!! I love it and read it cover to cover when it arrives. I also subscribe to Fons and Porter and McCall.

It seems like the quilt magazines sort of 'morph' into their own personalities. QNM has seemed to morph into more of an art quilt mag than Quiltmaker. It seems a lot of people have canceled for that reason. I must be still lots of folks who love it, or they would listen to those who aren't happy and go back to the old format.
