Izy, you should consider putting all your quilting patterns on a 'flash drive'. It's great for safe keeping and they are now availale in 4 GB, that would hold a very large quantity of quilting goodies. I am keeper of our HS alumni association awith over 5000 names and address. They fit easly on a 1 GB. Plus I have all the homecoming files and records for the past 5 years on the same one. I keep another just for photos, and a third for my quilt guild. You can update and add to it anytime.
