My problem with getting rid of magazines is what I thought I liked (and tagged with small colored Post-It's) years ago, I no longer want to make and discover another pattern that I passed up before that I now want to make. As my skills evolve and I try different styles, my tastes change and I feel I can tackle harder patterns. If I put all that effort into putting fav's onto discs (not that I even would know how to do that!) or cutting them and filing them in notebooks, I would have the same problem. So, I keep them organized on shelving, by publication and in date order. What ever works for you! I moved across the world earlier this year and did a MASSIVE clean out so I didn't have to ship much back, so if I am a horder, it can only be quilt-related-every scrap was shipped back! I will, however, clean out fabrics after the holidays and participate in the pay-it-forward and hopefully, someone will enjoy using them! Tastes in fabric changes too!
