GOOD LUCK getting the 12 Free guides !! ... I only got the promised Freebies ONCE from F&P, several other times I renewed, I had to call or email and they FINALLY sent them ... months later. Plus the mess with that "free" CD they sent out and then try to BILL you for !!
Another reason I won't renew with them again ...

This quilting board is MY "Love of Quilting"... I get all I want or need from these wonderful fellow quilters. Why would anyone pay for this content and contact??

I'd surely pass on that subscription renewal no matter what price (unless it's FREE).

That IS annoying ... but nothing says you can't gently open the silly bag and look through the mag ... just saying ...

I hope this is a typo because this comes out to $12.98 an issue! Is this crazy or what? Has anyone else gotten this offer or am I the only lucky one? Just curious.

BOGUS! Some sort of scam.

There is someone sending renewal notices for sewing/quilting magazines at terrible prices. These are scams....tear up and toss!! Valid offers will come with the costs that you expect.

It is a scam. I just got mine renewed through 2014 for thirty something dollars. The notice came from the Fon's and Porter Magazine.

I got that one too. If you look at in very closely, you will see it is an offer not a renewal. Toss it, it is junk!!!!

This sounds fishy to me. Are your sure it's truly from Love of Quilting?

Several of my magazines have posted notices on the subscription page saying not to pay invoices from magazine billing subscription services because they have no connection to the actual magazine publishers. My Love of Quilting renewal was $20.97 for 1 year when I renewed last May. I would just shred that renewal form and ignore anything that doesn't come directly from Fons and Porter.
