Have you started the sort and de-cluttering of Spring?
Bring all of your old Quilting/Needlework magazines to the Guild Library.
They will sell them cheaply to build a “buying” budget.
The funds raised by selling  Susan McLean’s magazines will go to something on Reproduction or I Spy quilts. They were two of her special interests.
Remember the Guild as you Spring Clean.
