Over the years, I have picked up quite a few books. Every few years, I go through them and pull out the ones I have either "outgrown" or no longer have an interest in them. This year, I am donating the current batch to my guild's next silent auction fundraiser. As to magazines, I have subscribed to a few and have downsized down to a couple real favorites. I do love having a quilt book in my hand! However, so many quilt patterns are free online, that we may not be buying as many books as we used to in the past.
