tip: free e-Zine "Down Under Quilts" (update)

Since a couple of months I receive the free digital edition of "Down Under Quilts", an Australian quilt magazine. And I can only agree on the welcome e-mail: the magazine provides information, advice and news to really enjoy and inspire your creativity each month.

The viewing online is easy; there are no installs.
The pages are crystal clear and very easy to navigate.
Plus, the clickable table of contents allows you to find everything you are looking for.
You even have access to over 12 months of back issues!
The downside is that the digital version has no pattern sheet included (anymore), but with some creativity you can overcome that.

You can also subscribe to digital versions of "Creative Expressions" and "For Keeps Creative Paper". Click on the image or here for more information and enjoy this free e-Zine!
