    Lucky you!

    I once answered an ad on craigslist for free quilting magazines - had no idea how many.

    Lady gave me her address, and I was amazed that she had 10 grocery bags filled with magazines. All sorted according to date and magazine title. I was one happy camper going through all those (and still have some around). THat was a couple years ago, and have since passed on most of them to others.

    Enjoy!

    What fun, go through and keep what you think you might use and pass the rest out to friends and family. What a windfall.

    Going to divide it between the 8 quilters in our family. :thumbup:
    We pass our magazines throughout our guild all the time. We have members on fixed incomes that can't afford them and really appreciate it. I would dive into those boxes and not come up for air for a week.

    That's a lot of magazines! Have fun reading through them and picking out patterns to try.

    I have fun doing this, too, but my prob. is that I end up taking a few & sitting down & going through them. Then I put them away when I'm tired of it.

    I recently posted on craigslist and freecycle that I had a box of Ladies Circle Patchwork Quilts from the 1980's and 1990's and did not get a response until weeks and weeks after. They were in great condition and a-once-in-a-lifetime resource. There has not been another magazine that focused on certain parts of the country in their main articles. Nowadays, I photocopy anything I want to keep our of a magazine because I know that eventually, I'll pass them on--there will always be a newbie around to enjoy them.
