    I just got an offer for a free issue, plus a free year when I get a one year subscription. What are your thoughts on this quilting magazine? I'm a fairly confident beginner, so I want to be sure there will be things in the magazines that I will be able to do. Any insight you can give is always appreciated.

    Not one of my favorites.. It has too many advertising for my taste.. I let this subscription laps this year..

    I do get:

    Quilt
    Fons & Porter for the love of quilting
    Fons & Porter Easy quilts
    BHG American patchwork- one of my fav's
    McCalls Quick Quilts
    Sew Scrappy

    there's one more but I cant think of it right now.. A new one I just ordered..

    Quilter's World is pretty good. Seems like about 9 or 10 patterns in every issue, ranging in all skill levels. I've never had a subscription, but bought it a handful of times from a news-stand and have liked what was there.

    Same here and I am sure I have learned lots more online--websites and QB. I have no intention in subscribing to another quilting magazine, although I'm sure I'll still buy books from time to time.

    You can subscribe to Quilters World on line also. It isn't a lot cheaper but you don't have to find a place to keep the mag when you finish looking. You can print the patterns and you have access to the last years magazines

    I get the digital subscription and I really like the magazine. Several projects and different skill levels.

    I have liked the magazine. Usually nice patterns that are doable. I don't subscribe to it but had bought a lot of used Quilters World that I have enjoyed.

    I bought a bunch of "old" magazines from someone on the board a few months ago - for a fraction of their original price. The fabrics out now are different, but the quilt patterns and tips never go out of style! And, silly me, I like to look at them and dream...kind of feels like the Sears "Wish Book" at Christmas made me feel as a kid.
