I can relate. I usually keep my magazines for a couple months or so just in case I decide there really was something I want to make, then give them away. I just gave a bunch of magazines to the thrift shop a couple weeks ago and now I've decided I want to make a maple leaf quilt that was on the cover of one of them. Naturally I cannot remember which magazine it was or even the name of the publication. I've finally stopped subscribing to new ones.
