Guess I"m "tight" too. I subscribe to Quiltmaker and Fons and Porter... The rest I usually get off ebay or from some of the quilting forums I watch. You can usually get several for the regular price of one. The patterns and ideas don't change, so I still enjoy looking at them.

I love getting yummy quilting catalogs in the mail. Recently, I got a Yankee Candle catalog from my daughter and it was "scratch and sniff". Awesome.
I wonder, are there ways that quilting catalogs could be more interactive? Maybe they could include a couple swatches or a crossword puzzle. What do you think? |
i look forward to the months when i know my quilting magazines are coming. i also am a window shopper - fill the cart than look around my room and delete. too many ufo and kits from connecting threads.

I just loved doing the Fab Shop Hop...so many online stores to explore...so little time....
|
Makes my heart skip a beat when I get quilt stuff. Better not tell DH.
|
Love getting them.

I think if any of the quilting shops sending out catalogs did this, they would definitely see their business go up. I love to order fabric, but am always unsure of the quality. Feeling might just make all the difference in the world. |
When the "Keepsake Quilting" catalog comes in the mail, DH always hides it behind his back and presents it to me as if it were a special delivery (which it is - I love that catalog).
