I'm that way too with my paint mags afraid I'll miss something and if I don't subscribe I end up buying at the store and paying more in the long run. I just try to stay away from any new ones like the Hobby Farm Home I just discovered. I have boxes of the paint mags can't part with them. I do like to go back thru them looking for certain things.

OMG GeorgiaZ…that is me to a T!

I have 500 quilt magazines that were Mama's.  She must have every single quilt magazine from the last 50 years…they were all in piles on top of her dining room table.  She wanted them to be at her finger tips…LOL   When I brought all of them home I sat for days just going through them and of course found hundreds of patterns I want to make!  I put the magazines I wanted to keep in one pile, the ones to give away in another pile.  After going through them all…I just sat and cried!!!  I could NOT give away that last part of Mama…I just could not!  So, my hubby David(God love him) took pity on me and cleaned a spot out in our closet for Mama's magazines.  All 500 of them.  I feel so excited about all the projects ahead for many years to come!!!

And…I loved her Fons & Porter quilt magazines so much that STUPID me just took out a subscription for 3 years with them!!!  500 magazines just were not enough!
