Question about Quilting Magazines
#22
I get several, but all of them have far more technique and trend info than pattern info. I pull out past issues several times a week for reference or just to get a jolt of inspiration. I don't use patterns so I don't bother with pattern heavy magazines.

I had subscribed to several.....but now......I'm totally sold on the Jenny Doan's "quilt-azine". It is a great one that has such good tutorials, as well as related online tutorials. Love it, love it, love it!

I am more fond of getting books or buying specific patterns. I do have about 15 actual magazines that I have stored in a binder with pages marked. I have made some of the quilts and will make more. However, I frequently find myself looking through the books I have time and time again.

I subscribe to 3 magazines, Fons and Porter, McCalls Quilting, and AQS. I save my magazines and go through them many times. They provide many hours of reading and provide learning for new processes. I would rather read an actual magazine than look at in online.

I subscribe to Fons and Porter and Quilter, plus receive AQS. Our local library doesn't have quilting magazines. I used to go to Borders and browse, and buy the ones I wanted, but they went out of business, and the closest Barnes and Noble is 20 miles away and too small to have much of anything. There is a Books a Million closer, but it's too far to walk from the parking lot, and the magazines are way in the back of the huge store.
