I am thinking of adding a subscription to a quilting magazine to my Christmas list. The only one I subscribe to now is Easy Quilts.
Any thoughts.....good or not so good magazines?

not that I need anyone mags or books but always looking.
I have decided to not subscribe,. prefer to look them over in the store, and buy the one that day that has the most projects that appeal to me .

What I do is get an issue at the bookstore. Then in subsequent months, I get a couple issues of the same magazine. I love all the patterns and subscribe. Then it seems that I like none of the quilts in the issues that come by mail! I'm letting all my subscriptions lapse and just browsing them at the store and buying single issues. Probably more expensive, but more useful. Maybe you need a Barnes & Noble gift card.

I have subscriptions to Love of Quilting, Quiltmaker and Block, I used to get several but found I rarely liked or wanted to make any of the patterns. I do still look at magazines at the store but I rarely buy any of them.

I have cancelled many subscriptions in paper. The ones that are still running will run out and I have been able to transfer some to digital. We just got rid of many magazines. If they have a pattern in them, I hang onto those and attach the article. Have put those into a binder. Am trying to minimalize/downsize. Getting harder to clean house and can't stand clutter. Refuse to put it under cover, it will go out the door.
