I have had to bite the bullet and only get 1 mag every 2 months but this also includes a dvd so it is worth the money. There was a mag I would still be getting if it was being printed, it was Quilts with style came out every 2 months. When the mag stopped they were going to put out pattrens, can anyone tell my how I can get on to them their pattrens were really different, thanks If my daughter saw my grammer in this she would have a fit, she has a masters degree in english.

I knew there were a lot of quilts in there that I would never want to attempt to make. Saved a LOT of space. In fact, I just pulled out a really cute miniature quilt pattern last week from my binder. Worked great!

Yes, I have about 4 or 5 cereal boxes full of them. Don't dare to count how many. I have some as far back as 1992 or 1993. I can't seem to part with them. I could never do like some members have suggested and cut out patterns that I like, put them in a plastic sleeve and throw the magazine away. Gosh, that would be like getting rid of a friend or family member. When i can't sleep at night, like last night, I just grab a box of magazines and look through them, and I always seem to find something that I thought I didn't like, now looks good to me. Wow! Throw them away, I think it would break my heart. I guess I'm just being silly, but I love my magazines. My daughter is the same way with her House &Home and Style at Home magazines. She has boxes of them. Whenever she decides to redo something in the house, out comes her magazines. So I guess I'm not the only crazy one in my family.

I went through each magazine and tore or cut out those ideas and patterns I thought I might use and put them in a plastic sleeve in a binder by category, i.e. great ideas, strips, stars, scrappy, runners, etc. Now I can research just what I'm looking for without going through magazine after magazine. Uses MUCH less space!

If there is a pattern I absolutely must have I pull it out and put it in a binder (in a page protector). If there's nothing I don't have I send them on to my mom. She enjoys them.
