Many libraries have "friends of the library" tables where you can place magazines you don't want. I am also bringing some of mine to a Project Linus meeting. I emailed the coordinator first because some of my things are sewing-related, not specifically quilting, and she said to just bring everything. I will let the people at the meeting take whatever they want and drop off the rest at the thrift store.

Two cautions--many libraries do not have the space to store magazine donations--our's will put them out for the Friends of library sell and those that don't sell are recycled. the other caution is that only set them out at your Guild meetings if a) your guild actually has a "free" table or b) you set out but also pick them up if no one takes them! almost every other month, I'm picking up left magazines from someone leaving theirs at guild meetings and then not disposing of when the meeting is over--so those of us that are doing all the picking up are stuck doing it. We have an annual garage sale and I take mine there. those that don't sell are either donated to library for their sale, to the local thrift shop--or if neither want them (and sometimes we have huge box fulls)we take to recycling.

Thank you all for your input with regard to the old quilting magazines! I will split them up; donate some to our library, and also Senior Citizens group, and to the sewing group at the Boys/Girls Club for projects.

You might check and see if there is a 4-H club that might want some. So few places teach sewing in schools any more.

A member of our guild recently brought a pike to one of our recent meetings and everyone enjoyed going through them. I adopted a couple myself.

Donate them to your local library to be sold in their annual used book & magazine sale.

How about the local library?

I would pay for shipping to have some of them!

Our guild has a freebie table. Maybe you can find a group like that? Sometimes the public library will take magazines in good condition and put them out when they have a sale.
