Trading Re: New Quilter's World Magazine

Howdy!

Thanks, Mz Polly.
No shame, no shame a-tall!

I know just what you mean; a couple of years ago I looked at 10 yrs. of
QNM, QM, BH&G Qltng, other quilt mags and special editions and all that
paper, taking up all that space, and thought, "What the h#ll am I
thinking?!" So I grabbed a couple of hours and big ol' Dr.Pepper and sat
down to go thru' the mags and pull out the pages/patterns I thought/think I
might want to see again, and put the rest of that 100+lbs of paper in the
recycling bin. One friend screamed, literally *screamed* when I told her
('cause she asked if I had any issues to send along to a guild garage sale),
but she hadn't offered to take them off my hands. I didn't feel like
offering them for sale, didn't care about flea marketing them, just
came to a point where It's Time To Go! And so they went.
I'm not short of reading material, quilting-reading material, or much
else in the quilty world. Got plenty. The world is not short of older
editions of QNM, either. <g>
But I do like to trade and see what's new out there. So I thought
I'd offer. I subscribed to QuiltMaker again this year; won't re-new,
will give away most of the copies I've received; just not my favorite
magazine, doesn't inspire me much.
One memorable trade: someone who posted here about 9 yrs. ago
offered to trade magazines for a fat quarter; about 3 dozen of us
took her up on the offer. Soon we started asking each other off the ng,
"What'd you get?" and turned out most of us had copies from this
woman's Bathroom Library. <G> You know what they looked like, or
you can imagine. *snicker* I didn't even open the mags,
just put them in the recycle bin. But I still offer, and I'm seldom
disappointed.
(Most) Trades are fun. And okay on RCTQ, IMO. ;-D
Y'all just speak up!

Well, @#$! I just trashed 3 years of Quilters World and let my
subscription lapse. Never saw anything in it that called to me. I would
have been happy to share it with you. Next time I get in weeding mode, I'll
ask. I know if we try to sell anything here that somebody's hair will catch
on fire but at least I could have asked if I could give them away. Shame on
me. Polly
