I have collected magazines for many years. Here and there I have made something from one of them. Mostly, though, I love sitting down in the evening with a pile of them, and browsing for inspiration...whether a pattern, the colors, etc. Some magazines may only have a few things that I seem interested in after time though, and those I will tear out of the magazines and put into binders. And, I have given away many magazines at guild once I know I am probably never going to make anything out of it. Tastes change over the years!
