What to do with boxes of quilt magazines
#42
I took all of mine to a quilt retreat and they were gone at the end of the first day! If you belong to a quilt bee or guild they usually take them. Donating them to a local charity is always good. Just don't throw them in the trash, please, maybe some one on the QB will take them off your hands.

I have several suggestions all of which I just used on my enormous pile of magazines and books.
1. Join the RAK (random acts of kindness) list on this board. Here is the url http://www.quiltingboard.com/general...u-t172506.html
2. Give them away for the cost of postage (or not if you can afford to) on the Pay It Forward thread here

3. List them on Freecycle
4. Donate to a quilting group in your area.

Fill a medium flat rate box. have the reviever pay shipping and post them here under give a way . bet they will be gone before you know it. I would make it clear that the books will be random and you arent going to sort them out. I am pretty sure it is the medium size flat rates that hold magazines nicely.
Half price books will also buy them if you have one of those stores close so you could make a little bit of money!

Well here is what I've decided to do. I will send medium priority boxes full of mags to anybody who wants them for $12.00 (postage) PM for anybody interested. I didn't even think of Craigslist or Freecycle so I will do that with whatever is left over. I won't be able to send anything out until at least next weekend as they mags are 69 miles away in another town and we are suppose to get a big snowstorm on Friday and I'm not going anywhere...I'm going to sew all weekend.
(p.s. don't worry I won't throw them away...would rather give them to somebody who will appreciate them)
