I have never counted but have tons of patterns,books,magazines,downloads,etc. I do enjoy looking at them and realize there is no way I will make them all,except "in my mind."I have purged many times,given to friends who are thrilled and if they don't want them,they can pass them on too. I have donated some to goodwill and figure someday there will be a post on this board called "LOOK at my GOODWILL find!"
