Most of my patterns are still in the magazines filed in magazine holders by publication, but with tabs on the pages (quilt design, tuts, etc), and an abundance of quilting books-all are on the shelves lined up neatly. This includes individual patterns sold in clear zip bags. The patterns I download from the computer are printed off and filed in binders in sections like baby quilts, table runners, craft projects, etc. I have a separate binder for just Xmas quilts and crafts that I downloaded this year (I'm finally getting the hang of this computer!). I enjoy thumbing thru old magazines looking for a project-though everytime another magazine comes, I find one I MUST make!
