I LOVE quilting magazines!! I have collected a lot of them. Finally I started going through them. I cut out all of the articles and patterns for things I really wanted to share, put them in clear covers and put them in a big 3 ring binder. We recycle, so I did not feel guilty about sending the leftovers to the recycle center. Now have an easy way to find the patterns I love. It is so much easier to look through them for my next project.

We have downsized and I am unable to keep stacks of magazines. I go through them and pull out patterns that I think I would like to do and put them in a 3 ring binder so I can find them.

Our quilt guild has a fund raiser every year and they sell bundles of old magazines.

I find that if you have a yard sale and sell them for so much for say 4 they go fast. If I lived closer I would buy some. Other wise take them with you to your monthly guild meeting and let how ever wants them take them or sell them to them.

Farmer623...have you decided what to do with your magazines?

When I'm done with mine, I give away what I can and donate the rest to my local library.

I got rid of all mine at my yard sale-books too!!!!!
A lot of quilters go to yard sales.

We take ours to guild meetings for the "company store" to sell them for 25 cents each. The people in charge of the store put the money back in the treasury.

Some communities have libraries that will take them. I do a lot of charity quilting with a local group and they devour magazines--new or old.

I go through old magazines and simply cut out the pages that I want to keep
and put them in a book with plastic covers. When I go through this book, it contains only those articles,etc., that interest me.
Then I throw the others away. I know it seems wasteful, but if you don't get rid of them, it can just clutter your quilt spaces and once you do get rid of them,
guess what???? YOU DON'T MISS THEM!
