What a sad situation to lose a magazine so many of us “experienced” quilters love! Sad to lose
the print media little by little with newspapers, magazines & books going to electronic media.
Good luck to you. I have recently been a part of a quilt co-op of vendors who have had to close our doors because of the slow demise of quilters & quilting.

I am sooooo sad and disappointed to hear this news!!!!!! (And I really don’t want the Quilters newsletter! BORING) Loved all of the articles you wrote and the great mix of articles and great projects. As with most quilters I have an abundance of projects lined up……so I LOVED reading your articles on the creative process, the quilting “lifestyle”, product reviews and so on. You will be dearly missed!!!!

BTW, I LOVED the school rocks quilt!! I am a high tech quilter in my early 30′s who LOVES out of the box, modern, fun quilts. That is tough to find in the magazines……they need to get with the times. Atleast the fabric makers are catching on!

I am saddened by the loss of the magazine. I loved this last issue as it had some modern quilts in it along with the pattern and directions. I had always been a traditional quilter but as I expand my quilting horizens looking for new challenges I have found a fondess towards the modern quilt
for me some of the trendy looking bright and loud fabrics do not fit in with my decor yet I always find more modern quilts seem to adapt better, maybe because the fabrics and colors are simple and more quilting can be done on them and the quilting shows up on solids as opposed to prints.
I sincerely hope that with this door closing for the staff of the magazine that another door will open up to better quilting opportunities in a different light. I still have all my issues and will save them in my achives and they will still inspire me for years to come. Thank you for giving us in the quilting world a glimpse of inspiration to reach out beyond the norm and try something new. I think one of the best stories I have ever read and still tickles me is the one of quiltzilla as I have met several over the years and chuckle everytime I meet one I think of that article. So long and farewell to all you who have given me so much

I could not find the free pattern on http://www.QuiltersHomeMag.com/schoolrocks. I am particularly interested in the rockin’ folder. Can that pattern be sent to my email address? Thank You.

I am disappointed beyond words that my very favorite quilting magazine will no longer be available. I was actually considering not renewing my QNL because I love Quilter’s Home so much. I liked the easy going style of the magazine and found so much useful and entertaining information in its pages. I think this is a HUGE mistake. Please bring Quilter’s Home back.

This is so sad. I’m relatively new to quilting and always learned something from every issue. I’m a bigtime blog reader but nothing can compare with coming home after a crummy day and relaxing in the tub with a copy of QH (even if it’s months old!). I will miss that shiny new bit of encouragement arriving in my mailbox. Be well and I’ll keep my fingers crossed that QN will be just as much fun. You are leaving big shoes to fill!

Wow, so very disappointed. Like Laura Daly said above, I went to the web looking for the download for school rocks projects, couldn’t find them and went to the blog. I have not had a chance to read the newest issue yet, but this is the ONLY magazine I subscribe to and I always look forward to it and read it cover to cover. I’ve been a subscriber since the start and although some items in the mag have offended me, I still remained since it overall is so much fun and a good resource. Nothing on the market compares, and I’m always sorry with other purchases. I, too, as others have said, enjoy a paper magazine. I feel like QH has inspired me in starting a quilty-type business of making purses and bags. Thanks for that, and best of everything to those who are losing their jobs.

Jake and Mellisa, I am so sorry to see you go. I’ve been a subscriber since Mark introduced QH and I have LOVED every issue, every article. My daughter and I read every copy cover to cover. I’ve counted on your product ratings to guide my many purchases of all things “quilty” and will miss you so much!! You promoted quilting and quilters to a whole new level with style and class. Thanks for being there. Best wishes to you all of you at QH. Jeannie from Church Hill, MD.
