several years ago I went through all my magazines, wrote in a notebook the pattern name, the colors used, the year, mon th and name of the magazine of the quilts I was interested in. Then I put those magazines in date order in a three shelf bookcase and gave away all the magazines I did not find anything in that I thought I was interested in. I gave the magazines to a good quilting friend who belonged to a quilting group and who was also working to open a community library at that time.
