magazine subscriptions
Jane, I'll be willing to bet that offer didn't even come from Quiltmaker. There is a company in Nevada that is sending those out for all sorts of sewing magazines. I got one of those, just like that, for THREADS magazine. I almost filled it out, then stopped and remembered my subscripiton to THREADS wasn't up for a couple years. THREADS even had something on their web site about these scam artists, telling us that they are not authorized representatives of the magazine.
Copy and paste this web site address (below), from THREADS magazine/Taunton Press, into your browser. You can read their 'Subscriber alert', and you'll probably see the return address of the company that sent you that subscription form:

Sorry, Doris, but they seem to have removed that warning. I copied and pasted and got the message "Issue Not Found". But thank you anyway for posting that warning.

Judy - How strange, when I copy & paste from my post, I get the correct page. Anyway . . . Here is the text that I copied and pasted here:

Doris, I went back and tried it today and it worked. Sometimes there are mysterious gremlins out there on the internet. :-)
