Store pulls racy quilting magazine

Ohio-based hobby shop Jo-Ann Fabric and Crafts said it has pulled an issue of Quilter's Home magazine that features male and female nudity.
The Hudson, Ohio, based chain declined to comment on removing the January/February issue of the magazine from shelves but said the stores will continue to carry future issues, the Chicago Tribune reported Wednesday.
New Jersey-based quilting aficionado Mark Lipinski, who put together the controversial Quilter's Home issue, said the images in the magazine, including nude pictures, a quilt of a gun-toting Jesus and a Viagra-themed quilt, are meant to challenge the idea that all quilters are conservative older women.
All the other quilting magazines you see are tea parties, and we're more like a cocktail party,
Lipinski said. Everyone loves a cocktail party.
