How do you keep or store all those patterns?

I'll be there, Rosemary! :wink:

I have told my sons that they should remember that fabric is an excellent insulation material, and they could use my stash to insulate the walls, floors, and roof of their houses. That way not just my quilts but also my fabric stash would keep them warm.

Ha Ha! True!!!

I keep my patterns in an old filing cabinet - hanging folders and all.... but I also keep photos of them on my computer and I use picasa and then scroll through my own patterns for inspiration every once in a while.

I have also started to keep track of all my patterns (both printed and digital) on seamedup.com with notes telling me where they are located!

Rosemary I just about laughed myself of my computer chair when reading the will.

My paper patterns are all in a white folder, but I do find these days that I seem to download them mostly, so they are in files on my computer which are sorted in separate folders which makes it easier to find something in particular.
Quilt Patterns - Bag Patterns - Quilt Blocks - Quilt Templates - General Information - Books to Purchase etc etc. With the quilt patterns that folder also has sub folders if I am interested in a particular style of quilting for example at the moment I am into Mariners Compass quilts and Kaleidoscope Quilts so they are in separate sub folders, that way I can find and or put information regarding that style of quilt in the one place for ease.
