favorite quiters' magazine
sewin'suz SC USA Member since 4/28/04 Posts: 14	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 12/26/05 9:26 AM Does anyone have suggestions for their favorite quilting magazine? I treated myself to a subscription to Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting last year. I enjoyed it but thought I'd branch out to something new this year. Which ones do you like? I'm intermediate sewist/quilter. Thanks.

I have picked up a few copies of the "Quilter's Newsletter Magazine" and enjoy those as, well. Some of the quilts and techniques are a little more advanced than my current skill level, but they're full of good information. Several members of our guild have subscriptions to this magazine. I haven't subscribed, because it's not in the budget right now. They're web address is www.quiltersnewsletter.com -- Edited on 12/26/05 10:47 AM --

I've not got fired up over any of the patterns but can't complain because the sub was a gift. I am going to subscribe to The Quilter Magazine this year. I have a few issues from 2004 and love looking through them. There is a website with some great patterns, McCall's Quilting. The magazine is a good one too.

It's for people interested in less traditional quilting, with an emphasis on interesting techniques. I've learned a lot about image transfer, for example. The same company also publishes Cloth, Paper, Scissors, which has some ideas useful for non-traditional quilting, as well as articles on altered books, collage, etc.

You have to join the AQS to get the magazine (kind of like joining National Geographic to get that magazine), but you get great discounts on books with the membership.

Beautiful quilts every month, lots of inspiration and tons of blocks. Edited to add: You can try out an issue or two by purchasing from Erica's. NAYY. In the magazines mastheads are two North American distributors (Stonehouse Publications and Quilter's Resource) you can subscribe from if you decide you want to. -- Edited on 12/26/05 12:36 PM -- ------ -- "I base my fashion sense on what doesn't itch." — Gilda Radner http://stitchesandseams.blogspot.com

I've been told that the Japanese magazine called something like Japanese Quilt Tshushin is nice (but in Japanese), but this is just hearsay.... ------ kristine quote of the day: "People all over the world, join in -- on the Love Train, Love Train..." ~the O'Jays

I, too usually just enjoy the pictures and the articles. Maybe one day I'll dive in and make one of the featured quilts.
