I'm SO excited! There is a new Quilt magazine coming out January1, 2011 and it's going to be ALL online! No more stacks of magazines sitting around. I HATE throwing magazines away, they are such a good inspiration. The colors may not be appealing anymore, but the patterns can inspire new ways. And now, with an online magazine, you can keep them all digitally, to peruse whenever you want. And that also means we can search at the click of a few strokes on a keyboard and not spend HOURS looking for a pattern you just KNOW you had, somewhere in a magazine! (ask me how I know that one!)
The Quilt Pattern Magazine, started by Cindy McCoy of Quilt Campus, will debut on January 1, 2011. Another good thing? It's only $11.99 per year for 13 issues! Guaranteed to have at least 5 patterns per issue and a BOM for applique and another one for piecing.
Oh, and it's SO green! Isn't that great--no more wasting trees. And you can have the magazine in minutes from when it's ready. No more waiting for the mail. Or running to the store.
AND I was given ONE FREE subscription to give away to my readers! All you have to do is go to their website,
check out the preview version and then come back here and make a comment on what you think. On January 1, I'll choose by a Random Number Generator one of the commenter's names! Please make sure I have your email so I can contact you when you win!
One more way to win! Go to the various blogs on the Blog Tour and leave comments on their blogs as well to increase your chances of winning.

That does sound like a veryclever idea - very 21st Century! I have boxes of quilt magazines and I really do not want to get rid of them as I do enjoy looking through them from time to time. All I need now is disk space and maybe a bigger screen! Thanks
I really like computers and the idea of being green, so this magazine is right up my street. It has been so much fun to take part in the blog tour. Thanks for posting.
This is such a great idea! especially for us overseas readers! and we get to save a tree too!!
What a great idea.......to have the magazine just a click away ...no looking up 10s of magazine for i pattern...no waiting fot the mail to be delivered.......Lovely.

This magazine would cut down on some of the clutter I have...I always have a magazine stack waiting to be looked at
The new magazine looks great! I have a basket of quilt magazines I can't throw away, so this would be great!
Going green is a great idea! I had no idea there was a blog tour going on. Hmmmm!!
I love the idea of an online magazine, more room for fabric! And perhaps I'll be able to find things when I want them. Thanks for the chance to enter!
Looking forward to this emagazine. I would love the win a subscription.
I love digital! The tutorials they have posted are great, so I am looking forward to the mag!
Quilt Pattern Magazine is lots of fun and the tour of the blogs is the most!!! scarlette
What a great idea. I was just thinking last night what I shoild do with all these quilt magazines that have piled up.
I really love the idea of an online magazine like this. This one is set up wonderfully for printing with ease as well. I have seen others that make printing not quite as easy and it's a huge headache trying to save anything from that magazine. This one however, looks great.
I am looking forward to seeing this magazine. I like the idea of storing the pattterns on the computer. And 2 blocks of the month sounds great as I really enjoy them.
It really looks like a great magazine and I love the idea to be able to store and find everything on my computer! No high postage costs and waiting for the mailman! Just great!
I am excited about the new online magazine.
This magazine sounds like a great idea! I have many quilt magazines and it takes time to search thru them trying to find a pattern I want.
Sounds great,I've all ready signed up.
I think I love it and have a subscription so that i don't miss out.
Cannot wait for the 1st issue, looks interesting

Thanks for participating, Karen. I like the idea of being able to make a collection of the patterns on my computer.
I think it's a great space saver and the pattern instructions will be right on my laptop!
BOMs are so tempting and seem like such a good idea.(There's an orphan block quilt on my list next year. ;)
Can't wait for the launch of the new magazine. If there's a free subscription out there for me...Bring in On!!!!
One of the benefits of having my quilting info in this format is that there is much more room in my Florida packing for fabric and notions. All the patterns and motivation for projects will be right on my laptop.
WOW!!!!!
I am going to love it - less paper and right on the computer! yeah!
thanks for a chance to win!
only a few more days and my e-magazine will arrive. It will be nice to know that the first of each month I will have a quilt magazine to read.
It looks like a very interesting format. Can't wait to see the first issue. Thanks for offering a subscription.
Looking forward to the new magazine!
I'm looking forwatrd to going green and meeting "new designers".
Very exciting! Can't wait to see he first full issue.
13 great issues, doesn't take up much room and we quilters won't have to wait for it to arrive in the mail. Yipee
It saves me a lot of international postage, without the hassle of crossing fingers whether it will arrive or not. And I do like the layout with a lot of white. That helps to read the magazine on screen. This really is a great green option!
I love the idea of an online magazine where I can print just the items that I need. What a great green way to start the New Year! Thank you for participating in the blog tour!
