QUILT MAGIZINE--which one?
#21
I would borrow from the library if $$ is a factor.Most magazines become repetitive and boring after a while so I don't bother with subscriptions and just pick up what looks interesting after a quick browse. Now I mostly browse the internet instead and you get more value from watching regular shows such as The Quilt Show with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims.

The one I would NOT recommend to anyone is "Quilter's Home". There are very few patterns and too many slams at any and everything in it.
Definitely a waste of money, when subscription expires it definitely won't be renewed. It's gone downhill more every issue.
But as someone else said look through them and purchase an issue of different ones until you find one you like.

If you can find a huge bookstore with lots of choices, I'd go there and play around in the racks til you find what you want. I like Quick Quilts and Easy Quilts. I buy them for the quilt patterns but they have lots of what you're looking for....runners, pin cushions, tote bags, etc.

May I ask Where I can get the pattern of your Bargello with the cross ? I would love to make this for my niece.
