Love of Quilting
So-I am a subscriber to this magazine. When I signed up for it (back in february), they offered a free gift... (still don't know what that is yet..) Today I get this free DVD in the mail of patterns and such. I think 'oh this must be my free gift'... um. no. If you read the fine print, you have so many days to send it back if you don't want it or you'll be charged 13.95 (a savings of over 40%off the regular subscriber price!) Not impressed.

Five Stars
Terrific Magazine, great ideas, plans, etc!

Used to be one of the better ones, now too "modern" for me
I have recently noticed that my quilt mags are all looking the same these days. If one does a cheddar quilt, the others do as well. All have the same icky "modern" colorways in unsettling block layouts. All have the kits available and a certain sameness to the layouts. Have they all been bought by the same conglomerate???

Well, yes. FW Media now owns the MCCalls and Fons & Porter titles, and they have created a consistent look that is not appealing. Used to be we could count on F&P for scrappy traditional projects as well as more modern designs - now it's all modern all the time. Maybe the plan is to merge them all into one mag once they have wrung all the individuality out of them.

All that being said, there are so many very similar quilting mags out there so which gets our limited cash?

I used to go to the magazine stand and count the number of quilt patterns in the magazines that I'd consider making; the one with the highest number went home...

Great magazine
This is a great magazine for quilters. Each issue conatins several projects... a mix of both traditional and art quilts. My current issue (April/May 2011) contains an article on airbrushing fabric that I thought was really interesting. This magazine also contains news as related to the quilting world (exhibits, competition results, quilter's biographies, etc.).

Before subscribing to this magazine, go to their website first. Sometimes they have bonus items they'll give you with your subscription. Even if you don't subscribe to the magazine, you can find lots of free patterns on their website.

One of the last quilt magazines with information beyond patterns
I admit to liking QNM better when there were no quilt patterns. It was a great source for information about current and past quilt endeavors. I still believe that it is a magazine worth the subscription price.

Not for beginners but dare to dream...
I chose a less than perfect rating for this magazine because if you are new to quilting you might want to buy this magazine and stash it for later use as you learn new techniques and move your way up to some of these tougher quilts patterns. Instructions are very good but you will need some experience to work your way through most of these quilts featured in this journal. But we all had to start somewhere. So go ahead and use it as that goal you are working your way towards meeting. Dreaming about quilts it called inspiration and this journal will give you plenty of that.

Mom loved this magazine!
I purchased a subscription to this magazine last year for Christmas for my mom, who is a master quilter, and she loves it. She said most of the patterns/projects are considered "easy" but she likes it for that reason. Asked for a subscription renewal for this Christmas, and got it!

Maybe quick, but not for a new quilter
I am new to quilting, and am trying to help my church make quilts for charity. Working full time, I thought this might be a great help. Maybe these are quick quilts for those with a lot of experience, but it's not quick for my purposes. It may have also been my mistake by equating "quick" to "easy".

Great for beginning quilters
I love thumbing through this magazine. Just perfect for a new quilter like myself; nothing seems too challenging, but you can create some very pretty items! Great variety of quilts, something for everyone.

Favorite
Of all the quilt and craft magazines I get, this is my favorite. It is just the right blend of traditional quilting and modern stuff. I like the amount and quality of instructions. I like the variety of projects. I have made a number of projects from this magazine and wouldn't be without a subscription.

McCall's Quilting
I enjoy trying some of the patterns in this magazine, also the thoroughness of the instructions is most helpful. I love looking at the different designs and color selections.

McCall's Quilting
This quilting magazine is filled with wonderful ideas. The colors choices are great and you have a choice of easy to hard quilts. I love the magazine.
