Several quilt magazines to stop hard copy publication
#21
Digital is terrific and I have each issue on my computer and print only what I need. That said you can't cuddle up in your favorite chair and thumb through a digital issue. That is one of my guilty pleasures to just sit and page through the magazine and imagine all the wonderful projects that can be done.

You said exactly what I was thinking. I have a computer and a nook and have subscribed to one online magazine and still love the hard copy, yes it is great for those who travel a lot but I am not one of those.

I just got a letter to resubscribe too....seems inappropriate. I'd already decided I wouldn't renew so this isn't a loss for me. I decided I like F&P and McCall's Quilting better. I enjoy looking at the new magazines when they arrive but going through my old ones is satisfying too. As is the binder of my 'favorite patterns' filed. How many patterns will I really use in a lifetime??

A sad sign of the times. The good news... I already own more quilting magazines and books than I could ever exhaust all the projects from. I also don't like digital and won't subscribe to anything that way. If I'm going to use the internet, there are enough free patterns and projects, not to mention enough pictures for inspiration, that I don't need to pay for any of it.

Ladies, our world is changing so fast! We older folks have to keep learning new things and it's not always easy for some of us.. but life has always been about change, hasn't it?
I grew up in a time when some of us still had outdoor toilets! Never dreamed of living in a nice home, flying hither and yon, having a dishwasher that wasn't one of the kids! And now everybody has their OWN car! Lots of changes...
And I LOVE MY LIFE IN TODAY'S WORLD! Sure, we'll miss our hard copies of the magazines, but we'll adapt...
Just my thoughts on the subject...

Just this week I got a renewal notice from Quilt. Glad I decided not to do it. While the reasons stated above for preferring digital mags make sense I enjoy curling up with a "real" magazine" and turning the pages.
