All great suggestions!

Technically speaking, magazines are not candidates for the Media Mail rate at the post office because they have advertising in them. Oddly enough, I was even told by one postal clerk that shredded newspaper cannot be used as packing for Media Mail items because of the advertising. Another case where common sense has been overruled.

You could "hit" a lot of doctor's offices and leave quite a few for the patients to read. They never have anything good to read so I bring a couple of my own quilt magazines when I go to my doctor.

Send them to me!

I put an ad in our local newspaper for free magazines and they were gone in a day. I had to free up space on my bookcase and the ladies who got the magazines were happy. Some libraries and sr. citizen groups won't take them. Don't throw them away. There are a lot of gals who would love to have them--guys, too.

My local library has a shelf of magazines that have been donated that are free for the taking. On rare occasion, I have found a quilt mag or two there. If your library has something similar -- or if it has a book sale, perhaps they will accept your quilt mags. Hope you find somewhere to take them. Tossing them would be such a waste.

I have several boxes that were donated to my local quilt guild. People took what they wanted and what I have is what was left. We're talking around 100 mags. I'm going to drop them off at the library tomorrow (I went through them and kept a few).
We're talking mags from the 70-90's. I don't have space to store them or I would keep them |
Sooooooooo .... how long will it take for me to get from Alabama to Colorado? Should be a nice drive, and I have a really large trunk in my car! :) :) :)
