Our Best Quilts magazine ?

Anybody seen the 2007 issue yet?

I usually buy it at my local upscale grocery store in February -- at least that's what my computer calendar is telling me. It only comes out yearly. A Better Homes and Garden publication.

The premier issue was 2005, and I have a 2006 issue.

Even though I have more quilt magazines than I know what to do with, I love relaxing with the mags and a cup of coffee. We're on Spring Break for the next week, and I'm hoping for some prime coffee-drinking time on the porch.

No, not yet. I believe it was to come out March 6. I haven't been to town this week to look for it. The cover quilt on this issue is one machine quilted by a friend of mine, so I've been waiting for it. I too, have tons of magazines. Can't part with any of them. This one will be special. It's always nice to get a magazine and be able to say "my friend did that!"

I think I saw it in my supermarket last night. I didn't look inside so I can't tell you anything about it.

March 6, huh? So I changed my computer calendar reminder to March so I don't start looking too soon next year.

It must be exciting to see a friend's work published!

Thanks, Kay Ahr in NV to respond to me directly, remove "WESTHI" from the email address

Thanks for letting me know there has been a sighting!!

The grocery store where I have bought the magazine for the past two years is not in my neighborhood. And it's prices are high! So I don't like going there unless it has something that the other stores don't have -- like the quilt magazine and my favorite cheese crackers.

They used to have Healthy Choice Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream too, but not anymore. Oh, such lovely chunks of chocolate in my favorite color -- green.

I'm wondering now if we are talking about the same mag. The one I was looking for is "Best of Quilt Sampler" put out by Better Homes and Gardens. This is apparently the first of this magazine. They have taken the 20 best quilt shops that they have previously featured in their yearly Quilt Sampler magazine for the last 15 years. Anyway, I got it! We went into the city today, and I deliberately went to Walmart to look for the mag. They didn't have it! So I made DH stop at the COOP grocery store, where I often buy magazines. They had this one and I picked up a couple more to boot. The price is high! $15.95 CA or 12.95US! But, my friend's quilt is on the cover. (I mean the quilt that she quilted for the quilt shop)

Hope you find the magazine that you are looking for.

I don't think we are talking about the same magazine either, but I did buy the magazine you are talking about! One of our northern Nevada shops was featured in one of the other issues and now is in the top 20. And that cover quilt IS PRETTY!!

ooops! Maybe I'm not talking about the same magazine either. I know it was a Best of Something magazine. I didn't realize there was more than one that came out at the same time. I'm going to the store today. I'll check to see which one it is. :o)

I checked and there are 2 BHG magazines. One is Best of Quilt Sampler and the other is 100 Quilt Blocks. Doesn't sound like either is what you're looking for.

I already have both of those. And I've already spilled coffee on the 100 Quilt Blocks magazine! I'll have to get another one with a JoAnn's coupon.

I'm beginning to think I'm looking for a phantom magazine. I have the first two issues of "Our Best Quilts" from 2005 and 2006, so I know I have the title right. Maybe BHG decided not to do it this year.

My local shop had a new issue from Better Homes and Gardens called Quilts and More Spring 2007...do you think they just changed the title?

Turns out that "Quilts and More" comes out 4 times a year. "Our Best Quilts" comes out once a year in February -- at least that's what it says in front of last year's issue.

I think they just discontinued it after two years. My bet is that "Best of Quilt Sampler" replaced it.

I think I've sent us all on a wild goose chase. (Is that the name of a quilt block?)

Ok, I give up what is this Mag you are talking about. What all is in it, I have never heard of it.

Oooops, sorry. I should have put the subject info in the message. The magazine is called "Our Best Quilts" by Better Homes and Gardens. According to the small print in the front pages of the magazine, it is published yearly in February. I have the premier issue from 2005 and then another issue from 2006 -- but with the exact same contents!!

To paraphrase the editor -- She pages through past issues of "American Patchwork and Quilting" (also a Better Homes and Gardens publication) enjoying the projects shown in back issues. So BHG decided to handpick the best quilts from those back issues and put them into this new magazine publication called "Our Best Quilts."

Soooo, I was looking for a 2007 version that has different quilts.
