SUMMARY- Mom clearly loved the Better Homes & Gardens quilt books - she bought a lot of them, and I suspect the ones she didn't buy were the ones she hadn't run across yet. Some of them she bought twice(and one of them three times!) because she wasn't sure if she already had it. I'm betting she also had a big run of their magazine, but those got lost to a Kansas downpour while my siblings and I were trying to figure out how to get all the huge boxes of magazines back to North Carolina. This is one of the few magazines of my mother's vast collection that survived to make home with me. You get a potpourri of patterns with an emphasis on quilting.
