So sorry this happened to you. Hopefully you can find someone to restore your info.
I have a friend who used to put all of her downloads on floppy drives but they have gone the way of VHS tapes! LOL
You could put them on thumb drives and keep them in a "safe place". That way you can download and access the files as needed.
Maybe buy a few different ones for different patterns...red for traditional pieced, blue applique, pink paper piecing etc.
You would probably want to at least print out some sort of index for each little drive so that you know what is on it!
Good luck
