Did this for DH woodworking mags. Works great. Just the content page with pictures. Then I got magazine holders and put the magazines in binders by years.

I do that, too, but it's more to be able to part with the mountain of quilt magazines I've accumulated over the years. I'm afraid digital magazine subscriptions would disappear into cyber-nothingness like a lot of my pictures!

So far I anly purchase them off the shelf. I am just old school I guess. I am going to have to step outside the box I guess and see what I think.

I'm thinking of dropping my subscriptions. Since I became a Pinterest addict, that's the only way I want to save pictures of quilts. I can usually find a pattern to buy for those for which I need a pattern. But for many, it's the COLORS used in a different way that captivate me. And there are many that simply INSPIRE me. I don't want to COPY someone else, but sometimes I get an idea just from seeing a quilt, and I put that quilt in the Board I have labeled 'Inspiration.' I break my Pinterest quilt boards up into many categories, so I can easily find what I want - or I use the Search feature.

I've decided to let my subscriptions lapse. The magazine comes, takes me 5 minutes to go through, and I'm done. But I can't throw it away! I have two huge piles tied up together trying to get rid of, but nobody wants them. They are too heavy to send through the mail, so I guess they go to the burn pile. I have saved my Love of Quilting since about 2005. Time to get rid of some of this stuff! (to make room for more fabric, of course!)
