I just received my new QW Mag. today and have to say I can't keep looking at it! Beautiful fall colored quilts throughout. I wish I could pick out such great colors - I guess I should start making quilts with patterns in books...lol If you have a chance, pick one up.
That's funny to hear because my reaction was the opposite. I didn't like anything in the mag. that came yesterday and wondered if I should cancel my subscription. Of course I like pink and brights so that may be part of the problem. I guess fall is not a favorite time of year for me.
Howdy!
Wanna' trade? I don't subscribe to Quilters World:

I have only been getting these this year (2006). When I am ready for trading I will post.
Well, @#$! I just trashed 3 years of Quilters World and let my subscription lapse. Never saw anything in it that called to me. I would have been happy to share it with you. Next time I get in weeding mode, I'll ask. I know if we try to sell anything here that somebody's hair will catch on fire but at least I could have asked if I could give them away. Shame on me. Polly
Howdy!
Thanks, Mz Polly. No shame, no shame a-tall!
I know just what you mean; a couple of years ago I looked at 10 yrs. of QNM, QM, BH&G Qltng, other quilt mags and special editions and all that paper, taking up all that space, and thought, "What the h#ll am I thinking?!" So I grabbed a couple of hours and big ol' Dr.Pepper and sat down to go thru' the mags and pull out the pages/patterns I thought/think I might want to see again, and put the rest of that 100+lbs of paper in the recycling bin. One friend screamed, literally *screamed* when I told her ('cause she asked if I had any issues to send along to a guild garage sale), but she hadn't offered to take them off my hands. I didn't feel like offering them for sale, didn't care about flea marketing them, just came to a point where It's Time To Go! And so they went. I'm not short of reading material, quilting-reading material, or much else in the quilty world. Got plenty. The world is not short of older editions of QNM, either. But I do like to trade and see what's new out there. So I thought I'd offer. I subscribed to QuiltMaker again this year; won't re-new, will give away most of the copies I've received; just not my favorite magazine, doesn't inspire me much. One memorable trade: someone who posted here about 9 yrs. ago offered to trade magazines for a fat quarter; about 3 dozen of us took her up on the offer. Soon we started asking each other off the ng, "What'd you get?" and turned out most of us had copies from this woman's Bathroom Library. You know what they looked like, or you can imagine. *snicker* I didn't even open the mags, just put them in the recycle bin. But I still offer, and I'm seldom disappointed. (Most) Trades are fun. And okay on RCTQ, IMO. ;-D Y'all just speak up!
