  2. Oh, I can't believe you are giving away your famous pillow! I guess I'd have to say Fat Quarterly, because it's the only one I read. Selection of paper mags is limited and expensive here in Norway.

  3. Oooooh crossing everything for this - I love this cushion! My fave mag would be Fat Quarterly as well ;o)

    ReplyDelete
  4. Beautiful cushion! Unfortunately I don't read quilting magazines as I can't find any in the shops! I do read Fat quarterly though and loads of blogs and Flickr for inspiration!

    ReplyDelete
  5. You are giving away this lovely pillow ? Oh this is great!

  121. Probably not the best thing to say but I don't really buy magazines. I've tried several quilting and sewing magazines and there tend to be too many adverts. Also the content seems quite old, especially if you read as many blogs as I seem to!
    I'm thinking of trying fat quarterly when things quieten down a bit though as I've heard really good things.

    ReplyDelete
  122. I can't believe that you are going to part with your gorgeous cushion!!
    I love Fat Quarterly but I did really like a new one called Love Quilting & Patchwork in the UK!
