Reader Reviews
The whole team does a fantastic job and the magazine often has very good competitions.
an app would be excellent to keep all copies in one place but this still works well enough.
To me and my whole family. Individual stories of quilters that are in this publication are so interesting and very like myself in the process of evolving as a quilt artist. You won’t be disappointed with this magazine. I highly recommend it!
