    Why must everything be "today's news"? Yesterdays had some pretty neat stuff too. It still has the same pages now as it did before you noticed the date.

    I picked up a new magazine at Walmart and it was $9.99. So maybe your magazine was discounted already, did you see the price on the magazine ?

    I am not complaining about either the price or the date of the mag, I was just a bit surprised that the quilt shop had an outdated mag, just never thought of it, I guess. Well, I did call the shop, had a good conversation with owner and now know that this is their practice. No prob.

    TBH, if I looked through a magazine and found it to be worthy of $6.99 at the time of purchase, I wouldn't feel a bit cheated if I realized it was a year old. The information in it is still just as valuable, is it not? Besides, sometimes the older magazines are harder to find!
    I definitely agree. Magazines are great sources for patterns and I don't care when they were published.

    I've taken some of my magazines and donated them to the quilt shop as well. The quilt shop also puts out old magazines for customers to take too, which is nice.

    A fabric shop near me has a weird owner. She is not patron-friendly. A young woman asked her about a quilt magazine and she wouldn't even help her to subscribe to it or any other magazine! I took the young woman aside and explained about quilt magazines, where to find them (including libraries). She was grateful and the owner was furious.

    I hope I can ask this question here. I am looking for an old quilt magazine called The Quilter Magazine dated January 2004. Any ideas of where I could possibly find it. I'm not real computer savvy, but I have searched, with no results. I'm looking for the pattern Long and Winding Road. It is a bargello pattern. Any help would be appreciated.

    I did a quick Google search and found it. It looks like you can buy it here: http://www.bstmarket.com/quilting/th...r_magazine.htm

    Or you could email the designer and ask to buy the pattern from her. http://www.quiltwoman.com/Patti-Carey-page-5.aspx

    I've noticed that before. As long as it has a pattern I'm interested in I don't care when it was printed. My favorite magazine is the old "Quilt" that they don't print anymore. I'm always looking at shows and on the free table for them.
