Guilty as charged. I have them on the computer in specific folders, in 3 ring binders (a whole 30" shelf by category) and patterns that I have purchased in a couple boxes in the closet. I went through all of the paper copies recently and threw out many I had printed and took some things to Goodwill. However, I still have tons. I probably won't make 1%, but I do look at them for inspiration and do pull a specific pattern to make occasionally. We have the room, so why not have a library available at our fingertips to browse at our leisure.
