I have only been quilting about 2 years and in the beginning I probably got pretty much all of them. I have looked through and taken out what I want and then passed them on to others. I have books of projects I would like to do. I am now letter most of the magazines expire. I will keep a couple but some very seldom had anything I really liked. I will look at them at the newstand and buy it if it specifically has something I want.
