I scan all my paper patterns and send online patterns to cloud storage. I can access them from any internet device when I want them and they are easy to browse. The small cost of online storage is worth it to me. I distributed most of my older quilt magazines to hospital waiting rooms when I realized no one would want to deal with them when I'm gone, they would be just tossed in the dumpster. I like to think someone will get the quilting bug when they browse through the magazine. Sort of a captive audience. LOL. My quilting friends have too many of their own to expect them to save mine.
