I think I will just start re-reading all the old quilt magazines I have saved for the last five years. When i first started quilting, I subscribed to all the mags, so it will be like looking at new magazines all over again. Also, I find quilts that I found uninteresting five years ago are now must makes on my list. I guess my skill level and tastes have really changed over the years

How can any one think they can publish and sell a magazine for $3.99 unless it's more like a newletter. I purchase magazines at the stores so I can choose whether or not I really want it. I like the fact I can look through. Also, I won't pay more than the price of a yard of good fabric. LOL!!

What a loss to us quilters. It would be nice if they used Suz's suggestion. I had a subscription to that Miniature Quilt Magazine years ago that went under, and I was thankful they offered to give me the remainder of my subscription to another magazine.

I have a subscription to Sew It Today and did get the Aug/Sept issue. I went online to send them an email to see if they were gone as well and the page came up as unavailable. I think I have 2 issues left on my subscription and it wasn't much, but you would think they would send all their subscribers an email and let us know what is going on. It really makes you not want to subscribe to any magazines that they would be publishing.

Yeppers quite a few of the magazines have gone out of business; due to the internet. I prefer to read something in my hand and really look at the instructions (so I print off many things I think I want to do !). Its a sad fact of life anymore.
Not only the quilt companies; but other magazines as well ..

That is a shame. I did receive an email from American Quilter's Society that they were discontinuing "The Quilt Life," so they credited the balance of the subscription to my "American Quilter" subscription.
