Ugh, our local thrift stores are no longer taking magazines. Sometimes I don't think they know what they're doing......

I am going to take some of mine to our next guild meeting.

I have donated mine to a school yard sale. I have dropped all subscriptions. Feels good! Real good! I am using the free space to organize my stash.

For the time being, I am keeping them. I'd only get rid of one if I'd finished all of the projects I had planned on making or had changed my mind.

Me too. It's a pet peave even if I only pay a quarter for the magazine at the thrift shop. I copy the patterns I like then give the magazines away. Right now I have a huge stack of Block Magazines and other books and mag waiting to find a new home. I also quit subscribing to all but two due to the WWW.

I think I'm going to bring my to the quilt shop the next time I go there. I know they'd take them as they have free magazines there already.

I quit all quilt magazines quite a few years ago when McCalls had that aricle on copyright that you could not make a quilt from one of their patterns and even hang it in the library because that was infringing on copyright laws and since my group of friends love to quilt and share we are using our older magazines and public internet so no longer buy or use patterns copyrighted no since in geting in trouble for a hobby and besides we like the freedom of sewing together and sharing our finished product

I had tons of magazines collecting over the years but there comes a time to get rid of some of them. A few years ago I went through them & kept only the ones I wanted & gave the rest away. I very rarely buy them anymore unless there is a pattern I am looking for.

I tear out the ones that I think I will make and put in a binder. The rest I give to anyone that wants them or donate to charities that recycle magazines

I used to write on the front what pages I wanted and what they were about. As piles grew I got folders and labeled what was in them and removed pages I wanted to keep and file them in the folders. The magazines go into the recycle ben. I have stopped most and only take Quilters World and Fon's and Porters Love Of Quilting. I still pick up some from the store when I see something new but most have the same patterns redone over and over.
