The plastic gripes me also. Especially the ones I subscribe to that are in the store, covered in plastic ,because the ones in the store have an extra something that I as a subscriber didn't get. Why do they get the extra and not me?

I have pretty much given up all magazines these days. There are so many ads in them I figure they should probably be paying me to read them. LOL I took one of the magazines I used to get, and removed all the ads from it that I could. If there was an article on one side of a page and an ad on the other side, I removed half a page. By the time I finished taking all the ads out, more than half the magazine was gone. Then I removed other non-reading things like coupons, ordering catalog slips, things that named the companies they featured in the articles (another kind of ad really) and references to brand names in recipes etc. I don't think there was 1/4th of the magazine remaining by the time all the fluff and gratuitous stuff was removed. That did it for me.

Just wondering......

I'm sort of a crazy magazine person and probably buy too many. They have to have several patterns or articles in them for me to buy them. All I see here in plastic are F & P and I never buy them because of that. They should look at this newslist.

F&P are the only ones in plastic here. I also go on the internet and pay for a pattern if I want it. Also you can get all the hints and help you need on the internet instead of buying a magazine that has tips and is wrapped in plastic. The library is also a great place to look at magazines and books. If I like a book I take it home and make the pattern.

Like many of you gals I've lost my interest in quilt mags. I'm saving my mag $'s for fabric buying, now that always something that interests me. LOL! May in Jersey
