Free Quilting Magazines

A quilter can never be inspired enough, motivated enough, know enough, or learn enough! It's why we all love quilting magazines.

Online magazines seem to be the newest trend. You view the entire magazine, including patterns available for printing, right on your computer, or save it to a file and print it out - and "go green" at the same time!

COTTON SPICE magazine is published online every two months, and isn't your typical quilting magazine. It not only contains free and printable quilt patterns, but also glimpses at other crafts (scrapbooking, for example), contains recipes, stories, book reviews and more. The best idea by this online magazine is they allow you to view and download back issues as well.

Our friends "down under" are offering a free six month subscription to DOWN UNDER QUILTS. I think it's fascinating to see quilt magazines from other countries, and this magazine is chock-full of inspiration (and 4 free patterns). Don't let the prices you see give you heart palpitations -- remember it's all in Australian dollars. Here's the link to sign up for this six month subscription:
