I would list them here and see if anyone is looking for them or wants to give them a home and if not, find a thrift ohp to take them too. I am always so excited when I find quilt magazines at my thrift shop! You'll make someone's day!

I'd donate them to a local thrift store. We have some run by churches that resell

I must have taken close to 100 issues of 5 or 6 different quilt mags..........went through them copied what I wanted and I took them to the recycling center in our town.

There, the man took them and distributed them to people who are in need.

They get another loving' home........

Greenbaum's Quilted Forest in Salem, OR takes old quilting magazines and sells them in bundles. All proceeds to toward research and help for autistic kids. You might check with your local quilt store and see if they are involved in anything like that.

You can always list them here. Offer them for just the cost of postage - minimum sets of 10 so you have lots less work to do...

There are people who collect them. I'm sure someone would want them. Some of the issues are no longer available.

You might give them away here on the board, look on the home page for 'Free Offers and Donations' or give them to a local Sr. Center, Quilt guild or library.
