Magazine Report: Generation Q

On occasion I've written a report on a favorite book.This time I'm posting about my favorite magazine: Generation Q. I saw it the first time when I went to QuiltCon. I've been hooked ever since. I'm happy to say that's it's easier to find now than it used to be.


It's a great magazine that I want to read from cover to cover. The articles are interesting and relevant. Every month has articles on new up and coming quilt designers as well as fresh new patterns.


Generation Q also has a feature where they test drive products. One time they reviewed different embroidery floss and another time hand sewing needles. This month they tested different spray starches and sizings. Since I've found how valuable starch spray can be as I continue on my path to precision, I'm really looking forward to reading this one.

 You'll also find a sampling of new fabric lines which is always fun to preview.



The one downside of the magazine is the price: $9.99. An annual subscription is $50. Once again, I think that's high, but I enjoy the magazine so much that I splurged and got a subscription in January. They have a website too so take a look and see what you think!

  1. Barb- thanks for reviewing this mag. I'd not seen it before- and it looks great! I just sent in a subscription- to bad they don't have a digital version, at least not that I could find!
