I just recently went through alot of my stuff and it was like giving away a child! lol But I had to do it. I picked out a few patterns that I might try if I ever got around to doing another cross stitch pattern, but gave the rest away. Same thing with my crocheting and so on. I got a binder and some plastic sleeves to store the few patterns that I cut out of the mags. Even had to do it with my quilt books. Hubby is a tyrant and sees it all as trash. Don't get me started....grrrr

Oh wow do you by any chance have any of the Cross Stitch & Country Crafts? I did the Little Aviator which was published in the Jan/Feb 88 issue and also did the Tea Party which was published in the Jan/Feb 86 issue but I only had a copy of the Tea Party I have the picture done except for the back stitching which I need the original for the colors, if you have that issue I would buy it from you pm me if you do. thanks for your trouble in looking for that mag.

I've only been involved in 2 swaps, so I'm not sure how it would work.. but those of you who know how to run a swap might give it some thought.
This is a great idea...as long as I didn' get back ones I already had :|

If you decide to give them away, I am starting a prayer quilt club at the church and could use anything that has to do with quilting!
I see we are both from Tennessee, send me a message if I can take any of them off your hands. lol Have a blessed day!

I would donate to a local library or give to Goodwill or Salvation Army stores.

The lady who does my longarm quilting for me took all of my old magazines for her quilt guild. I just needed some more space in my quilting room and finally decided I couldn't keep them anymore. She was thrilled to get them.She said they sell them at quilt shows.

by the looks of it,you have plenty of suggestions. One rainy day, I sat on the floor and looked at every magazine, I cut the pages of the magazine I wanted and threw the rest in recycling. I made a stack of INSPIRATION. When ever I am down, or just wanting something different, I grab my inspiration stack and gaze. It motivates and inspires me to get up and do something wonderful
