This is an awesome way to collect patterns and only print out as you need them, no wasting paper.
On the website on the blog tour countdown section there is no place for comments! so I will just comment here for the moment!
Hi Micki
I think this is a great idea -especially for overseas readers and it saves trees too!!
Wishing you and Joe a happy Christmas
I love digital patterns. They are so easy to store and you only need to print the bits you need. They download so fast these days too. I won a pattern from a contest several months ago and got the pattern I day won - bonus!
Looks like an interesting idea. Have you submitted any patterns, I saw that you were on their blog roll.
I love this kind of magazine. No more paper or just that what you want. And, I agree with Gill! Those shipping costs are often an issue to me.
Thanks for the chance :)
I can't wait to see the woven hearts pattern with the rest of the e-magazine.
It looks like it's good value with lots of interesting patterns! Thanks for the nice giveaway, Micki!
I've been wanting to win this! I like the idea of being able to have a folder on my computer with a collection of the patterns from the Quilt Pattern Magazine. I also checked out the Irish Quilting magazine and it looks great. The current issue has my favorite colors on the cover! Did you know it also comes digital.
Thanks for the opportunity to win a free year's subscription!
Hi Micki
Okay I went and not only looked at the website for the new online Quilting Mag - I BOUGHT IT!!! Such is your persuasion. And thanks for your giveaway too.
Lots of Love

What a fun magazine idea. It is so much easier to store computer files than old magazines.
Oh wow. I looked at the table of contents and was so disappointed that it stopped there. I guess I wanted to see the entire issue. The price is great. I may have to order it if I don't win. (I even saw "Men Who Quilt" in there.)
Pick me!!!
Wow what a great idea. Looks like some neat patterns. Thanks for a chance to win.
Oh what a wonderful idea. I kept clicking on the preview wanting to see more.. more!! darn it.. there was no more.. Well, I can hope can't I :)
How exciting, I love the woven hearts pattern!
Looks interesting, and I like the idea of keeping the downloads in a folder, and only printing what you want. Thanks, Micki, for the giveaway.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
It is nice to see magazines going the way of the internet. I love saving mine to continue looking through, but this is a much better idea. It would also save on being lost in the mails (wink)!!
What a fabulous idea! I can even access it from my phone anywhere I'm at! Thanks for the giveaway'
Looks to be a great magazine, I totally love digital magazines, what is nice is they are available world wide for the same price, not a bad price for a monthly magazine, thanks for a great giveaway!
I love the idea of online magazines, it is so nice when they are not available locally. It is also nice that you can store them on the computer and save space.
Debbie
I'm not too familiar with online magazines, but this sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing about this one.
This magazine looks very interesting. I think the BOM would inspire me
This magazine will be great! You can save the whole thing electronically and/or print out just what you want!!! Makes more room for fabric! Thanks for the chance to win!
I'm a little in a hurry *work is calling*. But I think the magazine is great. Take a closer look later
Hug Gunda
Wow, Micki! How generous! As for the magazine, I am all about digital. In fact, I have been scanning my magazine patterns to better keep them organized on my computer!
That is a great way to have subscriptions...we all use our computers now more than paper copies it seems. I know I don't order magazines anymore..there is just too much stuff online for everything imaginable.
I looked at the sneak peek, and am glad they are doing runners. I vowed 2011 would be a year of runners...for myself and giftgiving. I've never made one and i've been quilting for over 20 yrs! Hope to win this subscription and start on that new resolution!
Looks like a great magazine! Thanks for the chance to win, Micki!! Merry Christmas!!
I love the idea of a digital magazine. Wishing you a very merry Irish Christmas!
This new magazine looks great. I like the idea of being able to store patterns on the computer. Also noticed that they will have 2 blocks of the month. I really enjoy those.
Looks very interesting. I like being able to save on your computer what you really don't want to lose. ;-) Thanks for the fun!
The magazine looks great. I am always looking for new ideas, and being able to print what I need and save patterns on my computer will be great!
I have looked at a couple of magazines that are available on line. One I have considered is Quilter's World.
This Quilt Pattern magazine looks pretty nice too- some nice patterns and it sure beats the stacks of magazines that I have amassed over the years that I can not somehow part with- I do keep my quilting magazines to inspire... VBG
Thanks for the generous giveaway opportunity. You are such a kind and thoughtful person Micki.
I hope you and Joe have a wonderful festive season and are coping with the arrival of the snow.
Warmest regards,
Anna
Looking forward to seeing the first issue of this new emagazine. I would love to win a subscription.
You are always on top of everything quilting Micki! Thanks for sharing the info and for the giveaway! I also enjoyed reading the Irish recipes you posted!
Wish you and Joe a very Merry Christmas!
Oh I am so excited about this new magazine. I have my subscription already so I don't miss out. It is so amazingly affordable, i don't usually buy magazines.
Oh, I would love to win. I am just a beginner quilter but already looking and dreaming for patterns. Hope so that I'll win.....
I love the idea. I'm always looking for new ways to be efficient with all the information I gather. Happy Holidays!! (p.s. I love your surprise giveaway)
I don't want to enter, Micki, because I'm not so able to make such beautiful quilt, so I let more talented ladies have their opportunity. Anyway, I find very interesting to download the review, archive it in the computer, then print just what you need. I'm here just to tell you that is always interesting "having a walk" in your blog. Have a nice week and a very Merry Christmas, Clara.
what an awesome mag! FANTASTIC!!and such a simply grand way to collect patterns
I hope you and Joe have a wonderful Christmas Micki!!
Oh what a nice give away. Sure hope I will be lucky enough to win. Between Irish Quilting and the Quilting Pattern Magazine I feel a double delight is instore. I keep meaning to subscribe to the Irish Quilting but somehow manage to forget. Will have to see if I can't rememdy that. Thanks so much for all the wonderful visions of Ireland through your eyes, my friend.

Think this is great idea! A green magazine for quilters. It looks very interesting, with something for most of us. And we only need to print the patterns we want. Would love to win prize. Thanks for helping.
What a neat e-zine! Love that we can save trees too!! Also love that there appear to be different techniques and skill levels to appeal to a broad range of folks. And who knows, may even tempt some of us reluctant newbies to get out of our comfort zone! Thanks for the chance to win a year & another treat!! Always love reading about your walks & seeing your lovely pictures!!
The e-zine looks intriquing. I'd love to win a subscription - and the goody basket from you!
What a wonderful idea! No more storing of magazines, no more looking for "that" pattern, just save and print out what you want!

Would love to win the magazine. The cover blocks are so pretty. Thanks for the chance
I'd heard of the Quilt Pattern Magazine, and now that I've had a look at it, I know I'd enjoy it. The applique album quilt on the cover is great-I was always first an appliquer, tho I now do more patchwork too. Storing patterns on the computer makes so much sense, doesn't it?
I enjoy your blog (through Google Reader), only in part because of my Irish heritage and my Irish name.
Thanks very much for entering me into your generous giveaway.
Kathleen Connors
Looks like a great magazine! Thanks for sharing
The Baltimore Album BOM that starts in their January issue looks like something I would be interested in.
What a wonderful concept! I love that you don't have to wait for it to come in the mail. I like instant. :) If I don't win, I'm definitely getting a subscription. Thanks for the chance to win Micki and for bringing it to everyone's attention!
This kind of magazine is simply marvelous, as you print when you need, and than burn all on CD, not too much place, and I must admit that no place on the shelves, because here is Susanna, cross sticher magazine, crochet etc etc. Weell, this is my first comment, and if you need more for to be included in the game, I'll left more and more. Regards. Loredana.
What a brilliant idea, very 'green' too as we will only print off what we will use. A fabulous prize on it's own, but you are offering another of your own too. Christmas and New Year all in one package so to speak. I would love the chance to win either Micki, thank you for the chance.
I have hoped for a offering like this, but pray that everyone will like the magazien a lot. Carol c., also known as kingcooper0001@aol.com
wonderful of you to tune people in
on this.
Looks like a very cool way to have the pleasure of a magazine and not have to deal with all the paper month after month for a single pattern or two! Thanks for sharing the site.
Nice giveaway Micki.
Thanks for the opportunity.

This is so cool! I would love to be able to store all my magazines on my computer so I can find the patterns easily. Thanks for the chance to win a subscription.

Wow! What a super idea! It looks great...much easier to store patterns on the computer.

Hi Micki,
Thanks for the info...I checked it out...looks great. Do you know who is working on this project?
I like the idea of being able to organize the magazines because I'm always searching for something I saw in a magazine...this would save time.
Smiles,
Kelly
Another fun way to enjoy a quilting magazine. Thanks for the giveaway.
I'm seeing lots of familiar faces here.....grin.
Billie
Great idea I would love to win this subscription. Hugs Bunny
Me again, just spent a little time checking out that website. There are tutorials etc. Lots to look at. Hugs
I love the concept - and they already have tutorials up!
Can't wait to see the magazine. Also love the price. Hope they have some quilts with embroidery in them.
I think its a great idea and cant wait for the magazine! thanks and happy holidays.
Thanks for letting us know about this magazine! It's nice to be able to get to patterns quickly, and this is a great price! Also, thanks for the opportunity to win an Irish-style giveaway, I'm Irish too, and I love all things Irish!lvitzthum@alaska.net
I just signed up for the Quilt Pattern magazine. What a novel idea...no cluttering up my bookshelf with old magazines. Merry Christmas, I know Christmas in Ireland must be special.
I'm really looking forward to the BOM in the magazine!
Hugs,
Kerry
Would love to win something from another country. The woven heart pattern looks lovely. Thanks for the chance!

Thank you for the link to the new magazine Micki. It looks great. I love the idea of being able to print out just the patterns i am interested in. The whole website looks great. I love the 2 flying geese tutorials there too!
Thank you for the opportunity to win your surprise Irish giveaway too!
Have a wonderful Christmas, Micki. :)
This will be so much easier to keep track of patterns and be able to print them out.
http://averagequilter.blogspot.com/
This is great for those who don't get other magazines that are available in the USA as not only going to save on postage but also on storage as you save to your computer what you want & just print off when you need something
I can't see where to comment on their website so am only commenting here
Hugs Janice
Thanks Micki, what a great idea. Looks like some nice patterns. Thanks for a chance to win - Hugs Nat
I think this is a wonderful idea. With Quilt shows and various other electronically generated quilt geners, why not a magazine. Love this.
I am really looking forward the new online magazine.
The magazine looks great! Filled with patterns and hopefully some how tos for us beginners! I would be thrilled to win and have some wonderful patterns to get started! Thanks for the fun giveaway and for your sweet visit! Merry Christmas! ♥
Love not having to print it out until I want it...without worrying if its going to disappear.
"Super Irish Quilting Package", now who could resist that? :-) Thanks for the lovely giveaway.
What a great giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Love not having to dig through stacks of magazines looking for a pattern! Great idea. Thank you for the chance to win.
What a great idea for a magazine. Thanks for letting us know about it. I am really intrigued.
What a great idea!
This looks to be one of the best ideas for quilters in a long time. I am so excited not to have the clutter of magazines I don't want to get rid of but no longer know where to store.
Merry Christmas one and all.
What a great giveaway. I like that you can download patterns immediately! And I would LOVE some Irish goodies :) Thanks for the opportunity, Micki!
p.s. I love your new mug rug. super cute!
That magazine sure looks good! Excellent way to get patterns. I don't think I have ever seen a digital magazine before.
Fingers crossed and good luck to everyone who enters...me included! lol
This is definitely the wave of the future - magazines online and not in the mail. It looks like a wonderful magazine.
Green is the way to go. And we will save on postage also. Great magazine. pamspinks.blogspot.com
Very cool, hope I can view it on my Ipad! I enjoy electronic magazines-they don't pile up you can search them easily-very green.
Susan
I like the online delivery format -received one magazine digitally and it kept the cost down. I've been entering for this mag whenever come across a host blog. Thanks for the The Quilt Pattern Magazine Giveaway. Oh! Micki, almost forgot. I'm also up for an Irish surprise.
Thanks, Micki, for informing us of this new online magazine. Merry Christmas to you and Joe!
I just love a surprise giveaway Micki...the magazine looks great...and I love how they do a book review!!! Please count me in...Dzintra♥x
I like the digital idea. I only need to print what I realy need.
Hi Micki,
The Quilt Pattern Magazine is an interesting concept that I know works for Counted Cross Stitch so I'm sure will work nicely for quilting, how exciting! Would be nice to receive the first publication to really check it out so please enter me in your drawing.
Jane
PS: Thanks for the lovely comments about the Alien Invasion quilt on my blog, quiltsmiles. I didn't follow any pattern just worked up this version on EQ5 and had a jelly roll from Moda. I actually had to dive into my stash to select a couple of extra fabrics for the nine patch and rail blocks to have enough to finish it in the size I wanted. Thankfully they worked. Because of the Moda jelly roll of Alien Invasion fabric, I thought of the little creature for the back and the concept and idea is mine alone. Pretty scary where I live huh! I seem to be my worse nightmare always thinking outside of the box and making more work for myself but I don't care for the cookie cutter quilts mimicking each other. I like each one to be unique and a process unto itself. Oh well it works for me so far and I'm way to old to change. LOL
Glad it was something you enjoyed. Jane
Well, how very nice of you to offer an additional surprise! I'm a little behind on the QPM blog tour due to a computer melt down but I sure am looking forward to the magazine.
I like the idea of not having to store paper copies of the patterns. I will have to purchase a subscription if I don't win one. Thanks for the extra prize.
This will fit into my new year thought (note I didn't say "resolution") to go GREENER!
Looks like an interesting idea.Thanks for the nice giveaway.
Ok... so my favorite part of a magazine is the ability to carry it into the bathroom with me... But I was surprised by how easy the pages were to read and how quickly they came up on the screen. And I found your blog on the blog tour! Fun to say I KNOW WHO THAT IS!!!!! Thanks for the chance to win! And, as always, I love following your news!
I like the idea of a digital magazine. I can't tell you how many magazines I have here! I'm always planning on going through them tearing out what I think I might make but I never get around to doing that so I have a huge collection of them! I wish the magazine had more pages available to view but I understand why they didn't. Who would pay for something you got free? Thanks for the giveaways!!
Wow, an extra prize - thx! I can't wait for this magaizne. Not only is the content going to be wonderful, but the fact that it's digital is so welcome. I abhor the piles of magazines that collect around me small house. With this e-mag, I choose what to print when...saving time, trees and space. It's simply spectacular!
Hi Micki...finally back from all my birthday celebrations...I'll have to post about all the wonderful surprises that kept me out of town overnight unexpectedly. All good!
This is a wonderful way to see our magazines....I keep saying each college student should only need a kindle or access to computer to see text books as well and let us save the environment!
Looking forward to the first issue!
Very excited about the new online magazine!!!!!
I am really looking forward to this new emagazine. I'm not sure yet if I can squeeze any money for it yet but, I do know I'd love to subscribe, I love how it is set up to allow printing of your the patterns and how user friendly it appears to be too. I have access to a machine embroidery magazine online and it jumps all over the screen when you are trying to look at things and saving anything is next to impossible and VERY frustrating. I don't even try on that one but this one I've already tried to play with the printing or saving and it looks wonderful. I am sure everyone will be very pleased at how easy it will be.
I would really love to win your little surprise. I have a close friend who cherishes her family heritage which just happens to be Irish and I'd LOVE to make her an Irish quilt or something that would fit in with her heritage. Her father just died a week ago so it's a very hard time of the year for her right now.
This looks like it will be a good magazine, I subscribed! This last year I dropped all the other magazine subscriptions because I was frankly tired of the clutter and couldn't seem to throw my quilt ones away. This is a good idea.
Merry Christmas to you and Joe
This is a great idea, as I would have to take two 90 minute ferries and then a car journey to get to a magazine shop. (I live on an island off N scotland) This is a great giveaway. An online mag, which looks fantastic, with printable pages etc for going green, and a copy of the Irish Quilting magazine as well. Heaven!!
The online mag. is a great idea AND the idea of getting some Irish goodness even better.
I think online magazines are a wonderful thing. No more worrying about storage and it is much easier to find an article/pattern.
The Quilt Pattern Magazine looks like a great find Micki! Thanks for the opportunity in this giveaway!
The table of contents looked interesting. I like saving patterns on my computer and only printing them when I'm ready to make it. Thanks for the giveaways. Merry Christmas Micki to you and your family.
Love the idea! Everything on your computer, how nice! Love the diffrent patterns to choose from in the magazine. Looks great and I love BOM's.
love this idea of getting my magazine online, saves book shelf space..
Merry Christmas! This giveaway sounds wonderful!
I visited the website and viewed the preview. It looks interesting. And it's very reasonably priced right now.
I love the idea of an online quilting magazine. I already use an ereader and like the chance to cut down on the paper in my house. More room for quilting!
Hi Micki! I'm so excited for this magazine...I love being able to store patterns on my computer!
Thank you. :)
I love the idea of Quilt Pattern Magazine. the international flare is an added plus. scarlette
Cannot wait for the 1st issues, all those lovely patterns to sew
Ilse
Oh, the preview was just getting good!! I love the woven hearts. Definately a great green choice of receiving this e-mag in lieu of paper copy! Thank you for organizing your giveaway as well :)
I love the idea of an online quilt magazine. It makes it so much easier to save patterns you like and easier to find them once you save them. Thanks for the giveaway!
Better late than never Micki, I finally got here to enter your giveaway, hope you and Joe had a great Christmas...
