I bought two coffee table quilt books and find myself looking through them almost weekly. I dread throwing out magazines so I take them to my doctors offices for the waiting areas. I have learned patience and by the Compilation CD's for the quilting magazines. I do have a bookshelf full of cross stitch magazines which I will be going through before Easter. I figure a week or so for each shelf. I am determined to do it and will them organize the magazines that survive into binders. Last time I did this about 3 years ago, I sent bags away to woments shelters along with some excess supplies for kits.
