Quilter's Newsletter has quiet a few years worth out now.

I'm sorry you trash them! I have bought some real treasures at yard sales, or they can be donated to a nursing home where they can bring back wonderful memories and start conversations of "I remember when...."

Oh, and I am also letting a lot of my subscriptions lapse.

I'm sorry if this is a no-no, but if anyone wants to get rid of magazines I would LOVE to take them off your hands. Of course I would pay postage :)
I am a pretty new quilter still trying to get an idea of what I like. Seems it changes all the time!

I like my magazines and frequently refer to them and always find something I didn't notice before. My taste changes as I become more experienced. I don't purchase every quilt magazine I see, I look through them before I purchase and they have to have two or more ideas/patterns that interest me before I spend my money.

Hi-have not been on for a long time-my pc went bye bye-anyway I would copy & put in plastic sleeves & put in binder & index them in sections of paper piecing-templates- or strip which is what I am doing now--or have a binder for each one this way if pc crashes I would still have my paper copies
