I don't care if Joannes sell the mag or not but now I want one ! Definately. #3. I will be watching for more artistic quilts and funny remarks to go with. Quilts are the richness of life. Choice of which quilt is our right. Thank God we have the right. Love it.

I'll decline, but nicely! But to litter someone's business establishment? not cool. Would you think it was appropriate for someone selling storm windows to do that? Would it be okay if the Buddist temple left theirs everywhere? I think he covered all bases when he wrapped what might be offending to some, in shrink wrap. How could that offend someone shopping in Joann's with a child in tow? Unless of course you are letting the child run wild (and they picked one up and tore it open), instead of having them walk nicely beside you and did not touch the merchandise, which would be appropriate in a public store. Bottom line, Joann's has the right not to sell it. We have the right to shop elsewhere if we really want it. I get that. But I'm still very disappointed in Joann's decision on this one.

I'm sure Mark Lapinski is laughing all the way to the bank. I'm guessing this is the best selling issue of his fun and funky mag ever!

But the big picture everyone seems to be missing is that it is their option NOT to - just as it is your option to like and purchase it - somewhere else. I didn't like it, but can appreciate the work that went into it. But they have the FREEDOM not to carry items that would offend (most of) their customers. Just as the quilters who made them have to FREEDOM to do so! As for the lady who complained about the religious tracts, I would never go to your store, wherever it is, since my religion seems to offend YOU. But then that is MY right. No I don't leave tracts but sure would not be offended if someone offered one. This whole thing was just stupid. Probably designed by one who just likes to stir up controversy.

I think the people who run smoke shops might be even more offended by having QH in their stores than Jo Ann's would be. “Yes, I’ll take a bong, some whippets, one Hustler magazine, and the latest issue of Quilter’s Home, please.”

I am a quilter and do not enjoy seeing quilting lowered to this level. Like Playboy and Hustler these types of so called art should be sold in Smoke Shops. Not where children are shopping with their parents. I agree with JoAnn’s for not having these magazines in their stores. I am a quilter and do not enjoy seeing quilting lowered to this level.
