It was fascinating to see the plain fabrics so popular then seem to be coming back. Although today they are quilted within an inch of their life today. I'd offer to take those magazines, but, time to look through and space to keep them are sorely lacking these days. I second the suggestion of a thrift store rather than direct to recycle.<br /><br />Am I the only one who wishes QNM would come out with a digital archive of their past issues like so many other magazines have?JustGailhttp://justgail.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-6965982712341576762016-04-15T13:22:11.402-05:002016-04-15T13:22:11.402-05:00Thrift stores really like the old quilting magazin...Thrift stores really like the old quilting magazines.

Can you add two hanging sleeves to your Triangle piece ? Such fun to see the differences in the way you display this one. I like both images of this one and would have fun changing it back and forth. <br /><br />To see your copies of Quilter's Newsletter, sure brings back memories. "The Good Ole Days". The calico two piece dress made me smile. Don't remember either of us in an outfit like that. (*._,*) But cute.<br /><br />I know you are enjoying some warmer days now, and will have more spring blossoms to share next week. We are getting some nice spring showers, which we, here in the high desert, always need. My violets are nearly at the end of their blooming season already.

I made a dress with patchwork on it in 1975, and started a quilt with the scraps for the Bicentennial (it still is not finished), and have started a million unfinished things since then. Enjoy watching your projects.

I really like what you've settled on.<br /><br />I'll be honest, I've been seeing a lot of blogs comment on the "no reply blogger" bit, but I'm not a blogger and so I've been thinking that doesn't apply to me, since you have an option for my Google account. Not complaining, but I find this works some places and not others and I haven't figured out exactly where yet. Sorry, if I'm unreachable to you, but I'm enjoying your work immensely.Robbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13963176990398590719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-55142673680022470292016-04-15T10:13:25.638-05:002016-04-15T10:13:25.638-05:00I like it as a wall hanging.

Funny thing is, I bought quite a bit to use for curtains and I still have some of the scraps! I also have a glut of magazines and started weeding through them. I pull out anything I want, put it into a page protector and then into a notebook. I have separate notebooks for quilts, techniques, inspiration....etc.<br />I enjoy seeing your progress on various quilts and your current triangle quilt is no exception....very cool.

I gave up in 1984, and did not start again until 2010, so I feel like I am making up lost time.<br />Love the triangles piece. Did not know Hoffman printed their name in the fabric. <br /> I have a bunch of magazines to give away at our quilt show in October, hope someone takes them.Linda Swanekamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291121742617818637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-75472575505836312972016-04-15T06:15:08.184-05:002016-04-15T06:15:08.184-05:00I have over ten years of quilting magazines.

I tried giving them to a local guild and they don't want them so I have to rethink this whole thing. Libraries here after 2 years of something not checked out they take it out of the library so that isn't a good idea either.

I have a whole bunch of magazines I received from another quilter, and I am slowly scanning the articles I like, and then donating the physical magazine to the thrift store.
