I'm always excited when my quilting magazines arrive in themail -- I love to see what's new, the patterns, quilting techniques. And congrats on being on the cover of Quilts and More! Way to go!

I love all the inspiration I get when browsing magazines. Often times, they feature patterns in fabrics I would not have chosen and it encourages me to step outside of my box.

Congratulations on being featured.

I love curling up on the couch with a new magazine to get inspired by. It's my time not to think about anything else in the world. (Congrats on the cover - way to go!!)

Erin said...

I LOVE magazines for the visuals - both ideas and the how-tos. I also love looking at a magazine when there are alternate versions of one idea, it allows my mind to wander into thinking of new ideas!
This eZine sounds like it's going to be really awesome!

Kim said...

I like magazines for the pictures and inspiration.

yarnivorous said...

Oooh, looks exciting! I love mags for the ideas they give me - sometimes I'd never make something in those colours but the idea? If only I had my quilting area set up. I rather like the storybook quilt idea :-)

Little Bluebell (Adrianne) said...

I can't wait for the debut of Fat Quarterly! I love seeing lots of beautiful quilts and how to make them, but I also like artist profiles and "helpful hint" type blurbs.

Meghan said...

I love magazine for the same reason I love reading blogs. I think my favorite part is learning all the different tips and tricks out there. I learn something from every magazine I read.
