I love to pull them out, look again at the beautiful quilts, read the articles, history, enjoy the vintage prints of the fabrics. Just everything in paper.
Now that doesn't include my mags.I have hundreds of them also. I enjoy searching for collections; premieres, and volumns.1ST EDITIONS, ECT...
I never rip out pages or toss. Always hopeing I can locate that pattern you might be searching for.
I think I was supposed to be a library in another life! ha, ha
I am trying to locate earlier editions of quilters newsletter from 1969 and early 1970s. Can anyone help?

Enough for an army of quilters!!! I love to look through them, read them, and use them to plan projects.

Oh -- I do agree. I have 4 shelves that were at one time in alphabetical order (these are mainly books that I got at used book stores before they realized what they were an doubled the price). I got them for a technique -- or more than one -- 5 or more years ago. Now the only books I buy are for a class.

I have tons of magazines, but am now letting the subscriptions go since I haven't really seen anything to inspire me lately. I tend to learn a technique then interpret it in a different direction. I have EQ and use the internet for my info mainly now.
