This basket holds my 2010-11 quilt magazines. After a year they are put in date order and placed in a storage drawer. Several years ago I went through a decade of quilt magazines, clipped the articles / projects I wanted to keep and tossed the remains.
This year I decided not to renew any magazines, quilting or scrapbooking. There's so much now available on the Internet. And if there's a special project or article I want, that issue can be purchased at a local shop or on line.
There's no point in having a fabric or magazine stash if you can't find what you are looking for. To be easily used, both need to be organized and managed -- which includes weeding out.
