OMG! Another HUGE Industry Announcement!!

 


Is this another nail in the quilt industry coffin or the reality of the difficulties of the publishing industry  in the digital age?   You can read Martingale Publishing's good-bye letter here.  

1/23/23 Edited to Add:  For another perspective on why this may have happened, check out Shelly Cavanna's post at her Cora's Quilts blog here.

4/8/23 Edited to Add:    For Pat Sloan's experience with the closing, check out one of her You Tube videos here (starts at about 4:44)

Well, if there are books you always wanted, now is the time to get them!  I will post the link to it here but when I went to the site, I got a "Service Unavailable" notice so their servers may have crashed or are very busy with orders right now.

As of April 2023:  there is a notice on their website that it will close down by the end of the month.  They have also shut down payment processing so purchases can no longer be made through the website.
