Anyone know of a publication called TQPM - The Quilt Pattern Magazine?

It's all digital and monthly, out of Arlington, TX. I have not subscribed, but looking at it and wondering if anyone has ever heard of it or has any experience with it. It's $16.95/yr, which isn't all that much, especially when you consider the cost of other publications out there.

I have never heard of it, but it sounds interesting, will be waiting to see what is said about this. I have decided not to buy any more quilting magazines as I always want to keep them and then don't really have a place for them.

I have been a subscriber since the first issue! In fact I've purchased gift subscriptions for quilty friends for Christmas. Great magazine! I love downloading and saving in a file the magazine and all the templates then going back when ready to print what I need. I've also tested patterns for them a few times. They encourage people to submit original designs. Everything about it is great! I have 3 years worth of monthly magazines in one folder on my computer instead of taking up tons of space and being lost/misplaced like paper magazines wind up

I subscribed for a year. At the time I was working on a computer full time, but now I am retired. It was $10 the 1st year. Still cheap to try. Just remember you have paper and ink cost if you want a pattern. I do read blogs. Have not completely embraced computer quilting yet. Too many UFOs. I guess I still enjoy paper magazines. Only subscribe to one now, but looking thru back issues of many others. Many "new" quilts are same patterns just different colors.

Be sure to backup your digital magazines on a memory stick just in case your computer croaks!!

Just so you understand - saving your stuff to a cloud is putting it on someone else's server. ICloud = Apple server. There will come the day when one of these servers will be hacked - oh wait, that has already happened. Not to say you shouldn't do iit but you need to be aware you are putting stuff in someone else hands. So weigh that against the convenience.
Best to back up to a stick or external hard drive and keep control over your own data.
As far as TQPM - I have subscribed since the beginning and have all the digital copies but will not be renewing. I have yet to make anything they have offered. They have come a long way since their beginning.
