That’s what I do Cindy...I don’t subscribe to any magazines on a regular basis but have been gifted a few from time to time for birthday and Christmas. I browse through any new magazine right away and keep the pattern and instructions to the ones I like or that I might want to do in the future. I put them in sheet protectors and into a binder and then I pass the magazine along to quilting friends.
I wish I had followed the same process with cooking magazines...sigh.
