I know we talked about what magazines everyone loves before, but this is a little different. I just came back from a weekend at my sister's and she has a subscription to a mag called Cloth, Paper, Scissors. I couldn't stop thinking about Jayne when I saw it and was going to pm her when I got home. Instead I thought maybe others would be interested. So If you have a minute check out their site here:
http://www.quiltingarts.com/cp…..shome.html
or better yet pick up an issue. The article I read today was about a woman who made miniature purse books everyday for a year……very cool.

I do love Cloth, Paper, Scissors! It's one of the "date" magazines that hubby buys me when we go on "Dates" to Books a Million.
I haven't seen this month's issue tho. I will check it and the website out.

You should hint that a subscription would make a good "Insert name of the celebration" present. Maybe not enough for a birthday or Christmas present, but maybe St. Patrick's Day?

Aw, then what would we do on "Date night"?? But I'll mention it! And when I do, he'll tell me to go ahead and get it.
Hobby Farm has been around awhile Bee. It's another great mag!

The people that publish the magazine "Hobby Farms – Rural Living for Pleasure and Profit" just started a companion magazine called "Hobby Farm Home" recently. I got an offer to subscribe for their first year because I already subscribe to "Hobby Farms" – I didn't take them up on the offer, but I don't remember why. (Possibly because I already subscribe to a huge variety of magazines as it is.)
One of my favorites is "Backyard Poultry – Dedicated to more and better small-flock poultry "– it has good articles and information on different breeds, housing, feed, and a question & answer section. It's worth the price just for the ads from places that sell things related to chickens. I found Premier1 through an ad in the magazine. They are a great place to order supplies for all kinds of livestock, but their emphasis is on chickens and sheep – right up my alley.

I wasn't sure – I subscribe to both – so I checked. The Hobby Farms people only do the two magazines, Hobby Farms and Hobby Farm Home, but there is also a series of books and the Popular Farming Series – a collection of magazine/books about farming and livestock. While I was there I ordered the Chickens, Orcharding, Goats, and Heirloom Seeds books. Bad Georgia! It's all your fault.

I didn't know how long Hobby Farm Home had been out but I just discovered it . I had seen Hobby Farms before. And Birdi I have never heard of Backwoods Home. I'll have to check that out. But the Hobby Farm home has some interesting aticles in it. My finances don't permit to many magazines so for the most part I try to stick with my paint magazines.

I was getting 4 quilting magazines and decided I needed to downsize, but then I just bought them at the store, paying 3 times as much! Not very good at thinking things thru am I? Im just scared of missing that one perfect pattern that I just HAVE to have. So with my quarterly bonus, thats what Im bonusing myself with!

I literally take over a dozen magazines a month. (My niece sold subscriptions to finance some school project for three years running.) I box them up every month or two and Mike takes them to Salvation Army. I would be MORE than glad to pass on any that I take that you would be interested in. I sometimes tear out an article I'm particularly interested in, or a recipe, but most of the time all I take off is my name and address on the cover.
Email or PM me and I'll send you a list of the ones I take. I used to save magazines – I had every issue of 'American Patchwork and Quilting' since it began (over ten years) but I made myself donate them to a quilt guild before I moved. I heard a professional cleaner make a presentation once and he made the comment that 40 % of magazines are advertising. Of the remaining 60% there is probably 10% that really interests the reader. Now I rip out the part I want and file it, and recycle the rest.

I just cant stand to part with a quilting magazine. And on a gloomy doomy day I sit on the floor in front of the shelf where they are and its start all over drooling over them. I use to like the cooking mags but I even threw them all out, to the hospital waiting rooms. I had a box full of recipes that i had torn out before and when I went thru them one day, I think I may have kept 10 that still looked appealing. Most was "what was I thinking!"
