Flash drives and CD's are cheap. Just think of how bad you'd feel if you lost everything to a computer virus!
I have all my computer files and photos stored online. I can access them from any computer. If my computer crashes I can restore the files. Google Cloud, ICloud, Amazon Cloud and other online storage is available. Picasa will upload all your photos to an online album. Every picture I take on my Iphone goes online for backup. You pay for internet let it work for you. |
I have a bunch in binders. :)

NO, I do IT! and have them in Binders in the clear sleeves .:)

I definitely have a stash of quilt photos that I printed from Google and Flickr, and find it so much easier to leaf through them than to look at an icon on the screen and try to figure out whether it's worth opening or not. I'd be clicking all day. Much more relaxing to sit with a cup of tea on a Sunday morning. I also collect books - at latest count I have 137 to provide me with inspiration.

I copy /print the free quilt patterns, have used lots of them. have only bought i quilt pattern. I put the printouts in a 3 ring binder.

No paper to keep up with and lots less ink to buy. I love the technology we have now. It saves time and money when used right.

I've done a lot of that. But its because every quilt I do has been a different pattern.. So many to try I'll never get caught up :)

Am I the only one that prints off free quilt patterns and such from the computer and have it in stacks in my sewing room? I bought some hanging file totes to put them in. There is so much information out there it is keeping my ink supplier in business!
