I am not sure what is wrong with them now, if its whats being quilted or what? The internationsl magazine can still spark me. So, I am thinking that the present magazines are directly reporting too much of the same thing, presenting too much a narrow view of the quilting world. They have lost the spark, the personal veiwpont articales and the multi pics of varity that prompt us to do the "what if?" thing. Quilting is inspirational, creative, and fun-- not decorating and making a new bedspread to calm out life. Its breathing deep and smelling the possibilities. <br />momajohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09534755128054106054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-70432715097646644392013-06-16T23:40:38.430-07:002013-06-16T23:40:38.430-07:00Am in the process of doing this myself.

I do not like it at all, takes too much time I would rather spend quilting :-(<br />But it has to be done.<br />Like your new project, from an interesting book, I bought it a few months ago, lovely fabrics.

I enjoy pinning favorite quilt blocks, quilt projects, and so much more on my Pinterest boards... sometimes I forget I've pinned something of interest, and end up pinning it again!

I used to use your binder system, exactly the same, but lately I just put them into file folders and store them in a plastic hanging file box. This still keeps everything very neat, and it's faster to do. Patterns, where available, are stapled to the back of the photo. It works great!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224346283881001640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-33676250394051700172013-06-16T06:12:42.096-07:002013-06-16T06:12:42.096-07:00I inherited my S-I-L's quilting and crafting m...I inherited my S-I-L's quilting and crafting magazines in 1998. I donated all of the crafting magazines to Goodwill because I knew that I really didn't need any more obsessions. I have kept all of the quilting mags and have added to them sporadically over the years. I can't tear them apart because I know that over time my tastes and skills do change. They are definitely such a great source of inspiration!Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14826354433338717185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-52502837199224799292013-06-16T05:53:52.273-07:002013-06-16T05:53:52.273-07:00I save the whole magazine.

I'm not as focused on books and magazines as I used to be. I don't subscribe to any quilt magazines. Still like flipping through the old ones every now and then. And every once in a while I'll buy one. Look forward to seeing this project progress. You're so creative!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045447993210042025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-54218973498697897242013-06-16T05:38:26.973-07:002013-06-16T05:38:26.973-07:00I have saved so many patterns over the years I do ...I have saved so many patterns over the years I do not know why I do this as some are in plastic sleeves and some are in a canvas box - but I rarely look at them - the reason is because I always see something new and have 8 things I am working on now and by time I get ready to pull out the old binder something else has caught my eye - and the vicious cycle goes on and on! -- but it is so much fun!!Karen - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-26473185479125391322013-06-16T05:19:02.457-07:002013-06-16T05:19:02.457-07:00Magazines are a great source of inspiration, but, ...Magazines are a great source of inspiration, but, like you, it's easy to keep just the ideas and patterns that appeal to your sense of creativity.

And storage is becoming a problem, your binder system is something that I might have to start. But of course I will have the problems of which pattern to keep and which do I think I will not be wanting in the future. But hey, who am I kidding there is no way I could ever make all the quilts that I like in the magazines and books that I have!Jenny Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11021041535762298271noreply@blogger.com
