On Sept. 24th, Mark Lipiniski announced that he is no longer involved in the Quilter's Home magazine and in his QNNtv.com show called Quilt Out Loud. I really liked that magazine. His wacky sense of humor and unique articles made for interesting reading. I'm hoping the magazine will continue with the same kinds of articles and not turn into just another quilt pattern magazine! Mark is hinting at bigger and better things to come, so hopefully we won't have to wait long.
