Just my opinion

I have let 3 quilt magazine subscriptions go because I would get so excited when they would come, and then there would be nothing of interest in them for me. Maybe I have become "jaded"...but like you, I LOVE THIS BOARD!

I will say this... this place is way more friendly to people that are new quilters than I have ever seen before. Everyone I have read seems to be about the most kindest and friendliest of people I have ever met in the world of sewing.

Another place to look for ideas is in local Library.... Lots of books with many of the same block/Quilt patterns. I am lucky to have 2 libraries with in 8 miles of where I live.. The one has subscriptions to several Quilting magazines I can look at for new color ideas or projects... Oh yes and I picked up 8 copies of a Quilting magazine that someone had put in the FREE pile in the Entry... When I get done looking at them, I will donate them back to the library... Magazines are FREE.

I agree. I'm very disappointed in the magazines anymore, (but they're a bit of an addiction..I shuffle my subscriptions around everytime they come due). They were great when I started back into quilting, but most seem to be simpy recycling patterns in newer fabrics. Almost every quilt or wallhanging I do now, I've taken my inspiration from members quilts illustrated on this board.

Here! Here! To all of the above. The board even has a place to go when you need support like having a bad day, Dear Abby questions, medical test, surgery worries, plus more. I don't see any of that in a magazine. This is a great board!
