They are also more up to date with the current trends or new inventions. The ones in the UK also let you know about the major shows coming up and how to buy tickets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541488844616624304.post-41848320686197346642009-08-23T23:16:46.719-04:002009-08-23T23:16:46.719-04:00I like that way of thinking!

I am a magazine junkie too and although I subscribe to many many quilt magazines, I still wind up buying one or two here and there when I see them and know I don't have it, well, sometimes, it becomes a double!whimzeestitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00371918914382116586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541488844616624304.post-90356043689002835572009-08-23T22:13:25.537-04:002009-08-23T22:13:25.537-04:00I bought both of those top two this weekend...used...I bought both of those top two this weekend...used my 40% off JoAnns' coupon for one and Walmart for the other...they give 10% off all their magazines.

I've also sometimes find quilting magazines in the thrift stores and library bookstores. Much better to get them for 50c even if they are a few months old.Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714577523744715551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541488844616624304.post-4709028297366447052009-08-23T14:22:51.861-04:002009-08-23T14:22:51.861-04:00I've not bought much in the way of quilting ma...I've not bought much in the way of quilting magazines as yet.

Of course, I have tons of patterns and techniques that I've saved from all these magazines through the years... Guess I better get moving on making some of them.

I like to get them out occasionally and look through them again...sometimes you find projects that seemed too hard when you got the magazine and now you are ready for it. Also, if you shop at discount stores (WalMart, Sam's, etc) you might find magazines will have the same discounts as books. One of the local supermarkets has discounts on their magazines too. <br />Course it is usually cheaper just to subscribe to them....Jean https://www.blogger.com/profile/02953574832610193585noreply@blogger.com
