			<description><![CDATA[When I donated my magazines to the women's retreat house, the owner told me they loved them. She had added a sign over them saying "if you see anything you want feel free to take it", so they were aware things might be missing. So I guess it all depends on who you give it too. I think they mostly just thumbed through them, looking at pictures. If you warn people up front, it shouldn't matter. Some people cannot afford to buy magazines so just having the chance to see pictures of something could be good for them. I was also told the lovcal nursing home would take them. These ladies no longer sew but some still enjoy the pictures.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have been using the binder method for a long time and has worked well, until I was going to start a second one. I only had room for one, so I went through the first one and cleaned out a lot of the projects that did not appeal to me. I asked myself "What was I thinking when I picked this pattern?!" Now I am down to only one Magazine and it is more manageable.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Like Pat, I've been saving articles for years in two binders…one for techniques & biographies, another for patterns. It never occurred to me that I could organize them into sections or categories. Thanks so much for the great idea… now I will be able to find saved items MUCH more readily!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I use the smallest rotary cutter (which I've specifically designated for paper only) to cut the pages from the magazine I want to keep, which keeps the edges somewhat straight (as I don't tear out pages very well). I have some friends who enjoy the magazines, even if some of the pages have been removed. I place the magazines in a bin and deliver the full bin to them a couple of times a year.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[These are some guidelines that work for me when dealing with the paper associated with quilting: First, once you have removed pages or patterns from a magazine or book do NOT donate it to anyone else; finding missing vital pieces is just so disappointing. Start sorting with the idea that you want to enjoy the magazine one more time before you pass it along intact; be realistic about the number and type of projects you are likely to take on and mark the article without removing it. Look at it one more time when you're finished reviewing everything and then decide to keep or give away. Use see-thru containers whenever possible; you are much more likely to find and use something you can spot on the shelf. Start your review process with the most recent issue(s) first. You are immediately "current", but working on a backlog, instead of always behind with no chance of ever catching up. Remember there will always be new magazines and books just as there will always be new fabric collections.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I go through my magazines and tear out articles but instead of making a notebook, I scan them onto a flash drive with files for each category. I label the flash drive with a Sharpie "Old Magazines". I simply pop it in and if I want to make the quilt or use it I can print it out.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[When I was making quilts for family members, I started using the colored book marks to mark ideas for each person. Also, I marked any useful information and made a note on the cover. After I got through making that series of quilts, I went back through the magazines to see if there was anything else I might want. A magazine with no bookmarks was recycled to a new home. I, now, only have two of those cardboard holders of magazines.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[A friend and I generally go out to dinner every Saturday and usually come back to my house for a while and "talk" quilts. I had hundreds of magazines stored in my basement and knew I needed to clear the clutter so started going through each as we talked and tore out what I wanted, passed it to her and she kept what she wanted. I then put mine in plastic sleeves and then in large binders. I know we have both saved more patterns than we have time and energy left to make in our lives but that"s okay. Its a first step in cleaning things out. Then I gave the leftovers to a local women"s . retreat.]]></description>
