I have 8-10 boxes of quilt magazines. In 2 weeks they need to either find a new home or they will have to be thrown away. Anybody have any suggestions? They are pretty much all over the board as to which magazines they are.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I have 8-10 boxes of quilt magazines. In 2 weeks they need to either find a new home or they will have to be thrown away. Anybody have any suggestions? They are pretty much all over the board as to which magazines they are.
Maybe donate them to Goodwill or Salvation Army? I think a lot of people on this board would like them, but could probably not get rid of them in 2 weeks. Good luck.
How about donating to local library or Church in the area that has quilt related get togethers.
Recently I went through my stack of magazines. Most of them had a full year of each mag. Called the library to get their thoughts on them and they told me to bring them down. Chances are that someone might want some of them. Just told them to do as they saw fit. They weren't mine any longer and if someone could get some use from them, that would be great.
When life goes to pieces, make quilts.
Donate, you know they'll find a good home. Quilters shop all the time in thrift shoppes, Goodwill & Salvation Army.
Don't throw away you'll make a quilter happy somewhere in your area.
Why don't you donate them to your local quilt guild. Even if you're not a member, maybe you know someone who is. Those magazines would be coveted by other quilters and would certainly be put to good use.

There is no snooze button on a hungry cat!
If there is a guild un your area that puts on a show, they may have a boutique or sales area at the show for quilt-related things such as this.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift....that's why it's called the present.

Goodwill will NOT accept magazines.
I love old magazines. Got one from 2001 at quilt guild and it had a pattern I've been wanting but didn't want to spend $15 on. I paid a dime for the magazine.
Call a local quilt guild , and see if they want them. My sister has a shop , and sometimes people bring back old magazines ,so she has a "free" pile . I noticed some of the LQS will have a "free" pile of magazines but they put them in the classroom, so those attending classes get to pick.
GoodWill is always a choice. Maybe if any church has a quilting group they might like them.
You could offer them here in ( in bundles) the donation section, with the recipient paying postage.
This is what I vote for. If you can ship them at a good rate, you might post them here and see who would be interested in buying a FRB for the cost of the shipping - $11.00. Not a bad idea for a lot of magazine (30 to 38 can fit in a box). I'm selling mine on Amazon.com, but am also giving a lot of them away to my little quilt group here at the park so they can use them or sell them in their bazaar or whatever. Eventually, I'll have to donate them to a thrift store - probably Habitat for Humanity. I have a lot more than you do, but they are whittling down slowly.
Good luck, but don't throw them out! Other quilters can use them!
