Ditto! List the month and year - some people get on the buy/sell list here and ask for specific issues.

WHOA!!!!!!! Only after donating 2 4 foot tall stacks of quilting magazines did I find out that my Goodwill rountinely throws away all donated magazines. Mine evidently got tossed as there were never any there to buy. Ask questions before donating!!!!!

Don't throw them away but do find a thrift store to give them too.

Our local Library "loves" to get quilting magazines. The ladies' eyes light up when I bring them in. Also Quilt Guilds like them and some Quilt Stores will take them to give to their customers. Be sure and remove your name and address.

I sent my old magazines to a board member , she just had to pay postage. Just post if someone wants them they can have them if they pay the postage. If you use a flat rate box you can get a ton of magazines in a box for about $12.00.

You might call the library and ask or donate them to a nursing home or senior center. I sometimes wonder what will happen to my stash when I leave this world.... hate to let go of them though.....

I donate my books and magazines to the public library. They can either make decision to sell or to put on selves so someone may come to the library to sit and read.
