    Sounds like a scam to me after checking their website.

    You have to be careful....this "offer" sounds like it is not from the publisher but from a magazine subscription service. Watch out for them! They offer you a free or greatly reduced price because you bought some product, then they are pushing you to renew way before your subscription time is up, and at outrageous prices. We also got taken by some inner city youth program (allegedly) and they wanted a lot for a magazine. My husband said, okay he'd take one magazine to help out, but then they said, well, you have to subscribe to four magazines! Lots of scams out there. Buyer beware!

    This is definitely a scam. I've received several of these in the last few years and just simply tear them up and throw them away. NOT affiliated with Fons and Porter at all. DO NOT SEND THEM MONEY!

    I just saw on their tv program this past Sunday that they are aware of this and it is definitely a scam.

    I have dropped all my subscriptions to quilt magazines. They push special fabric lines and I don't see much new that I feel is worth the price. There are a LOT of free patterns on the internet and all it costs is your time. I have patterns from years back so why spend money for more?? I think they are overly expensive compared to other magazines and they pile up and you have to do something to keep them in check, either donate them or throw them away.

    I have gotten renewal notices for several of my magazines with ridiculous prices. I ignore them because I am pretty sure they are from a scam company. Just contact Love of Quilting and renew at their website.

    I'm sure its a typo error. I never found much in their magazines anyway.
    You can find more info here at the QB. :0)

    My renewal is 18.95 for the first subscription and 10.00 for all the gift subscriptions, and they will send a CD of all the 2011 issues to each of the subscriptions as a gift.

    You have to watch the return address and who to pay, their are a lot of scams out there. This one goes to Love of Quilting in Palm Coast FL, this is the right address.

    Seems a bit much. Anyone notice this about Love of Quilting? They are always sealed in a plastic bag at the newsstand so you can't pick it up and leaf through it to see if you want to buy it. So I don't - it really steams me!
