Magazines--what todo with them?
#21
I also went through and pulled out the patterns that I like and ditched the rest. This, of course, was way before I found the board. Now I would take the patterns that I want out and break up the others staple them together and put on the board. Shipping would be a nothing for people looking for a new pattern then and it would be a win-win for everyone.
Good Luck!! :-D

Aunt Doggie, I wish we had a Half Price bookstore here!!!! It really is a neat idea, I imagine you can find anything there. I get some books from Thrift stores and yard sales, but its hard to find them!

Well, I have gotten quilting magazines off of Bookmooch.com, and I have gotten rid of my old books that way. But it is a book swapping site. So all the magazines you got rid of, you'd have points to get more books, and if you're decluttering, you probably don't want more books.

If I was going to buy a magazine, I would be disappointed to find pages missing. Or at least, let me know that something has been removed.
Seems like the missing pages were what I wanted to look at too!
If I'm scrounging or getting a freebie, I take my chances.

I wish I had an answer. I WILL NOT throw away a quilting magazine!!! That is almost a sin! I have thinned out older interests and given them good homes to relatives but my quilt magazines will go in the coffin with me! lol

When I was a new quilter. I really enjoyed looking at old mag. I still do after 10+ years of quilting. So donate them to some of the new quilter we have on here. Its fun to look back at how they did thing in the 80 campare to now.

Thanks to everyone with all your good ideas. The more I think about them, the harder it will be to get rid of them. I'm a hoarder. I'd want them to go somewhere where they will be appreciated. I not only have them stored in a closet under the steps, they are in closets all over the house. When I've gathered them all together and looked through them, then I'll decide. I liked the idea about the file folder and then just giving them away. I'll let you know what I decide and exactly what I have and maybe some of you can have them.
