Over the 40 yrs I've been quilting, I've collected MANY magazines and books.A few years ago I started clipping the articles and pictures I liked, and I save those in binders. I decided to prune the mags this yr and found that the earliest ones have very little that I want to save. I spent too much money on books to prune them. Don't belong to a guild, so they'll remain on my shelves. Since I discovered Pinteresst (big sucking black hole where I spend too much time every day - more than I ever spend here on the board - LOL), I'll never buy another magazine or book again.
