I totally agree with you. Fons and Porter seems to be all about marketing their products. Not paying for anything of that nature any more!

totally agree with all of you. Their magazine has gone down hill over the last year or so. I hate when they put it in plastic just to offer a disc or something---I always look at the quilts they have patterns for to determine if I want to buy it. My rule, at least 2 or more or no go. I only subscribe to McCall's Quick Quilts and am trying to put in a subscription to Quick Quilts from Harris Publishing. Did not renew any others---waste of money, postage and trees.

I'm sorry to say that I have been coming for some time to the conclusion that F&P are gone commercial rather than gone quilting.
Not sure what the whole deal is, but I see less and less of their stuff that I care for, and their prices seem high as well.
Not a big F&P fan anymore.
