Quilting magazines
#31
There are so many free to download patterns from fabric manufacturers, other blogs, etc. Why not surf the internet for 'free patterns' and on YouTube for tutorials. I wish they have all these 40 years ago when I first started quilting, I learned quilting from my husband's grandmother, making what was then known as bedcovers.

I subscribe to Quick Quilts, McCalls Quilting and Quilt Magazine. I'm still relatively new to quilting and I like to oooohh and aaaaahh over the pretty colors in the magazines. LOL.
I have canceled all but one of my cross stitch magazines though, too much clutter in my house.

For a beginning quilter I think Quick Quilts, The Quilter and Quilters World would probably be a place to start. You might check your local library. Ours carry's several subscriptions to quilting magazines.
I get Quiltmaker, American Quilter and Quilting Arts

But I have kept many of my past mags in those black magazine holders from Walmart's. I weeded out the older ones and kept the 2000 and forward ones. I go back over them and use the patterns and re-enjoy the articles because at my age one forgets everything that didn't happen yesterday. That'll do me for the rest of my life I'm thinking. 8-)

Hi JoAnn,
I would check out guilds as well as library for mags. I still consider myself a beginner and take classes for demos and guidance. Videos are good too. I started with a turning twenty and a friendship star for 4th of July. Also a sampler class is good and I went with a Quilt mag that absolutely love- Quilting Arts. which is for art quilters. Fons and Porter was one of my first mags.
I go with the passionate interest as it is inspiration. Hope this helps
Christmas is coming!

The only one I subscribe to , or ever have, is The Quilt Life. That's b/c it's more than just patterns and the same old instructions for binding, etc. However, when I feel the need for some patterns, I go to Borders or Barnes & Noble, grab 3-4 mags and get a cup of coffee and look through them - me time. If there's one I really like, I get it. I also thumb through them at JoAnns and Wal-Mart.
