I found that I probably wanted one or two patterns out of a magazine, so I was buying something and saving 4 or 5 pages and throwing the rest away.
I have let all of my subscriptions run out, but occasionally I will see a magazine cover that captures my attention. Even though I never use the patterns, the pictures do inspire me.... be it the design or the color combinations. Actually it's just good eye candy for a day that I am not actively working on a project.
