I have absolutely no patience when it comes to trying to find something so I try to keep things in their place.
I also keep track of articles on different techniques that appear in magazines or even my books. If I don't do something for a period of time I need a refresher so I can find the directions easily by having it referenced in my Rolodex files.
Oh Janet you forced me to come clean..lol I drove my kids so crazy w/ my analness for organization. I truly mean it when I say I get great pleasure, a high if you will when I say I love to organize. Sometimes if I can't get motivated to do anything I will start organizing something without even realizing it.[hmm could be why I stated a biz being a professional organizer]
We were taking about organizing patterns -I took my binders a step further just after this topic started.
Keep in mind I am a beginner quilter so my topics might be different then others, but they are as follows:
Binder 1: Lessons. Patterns-{easy, intermediate.} Wall Hangings & Landscape
Binder 2: Magazines-ones that have to much information I want to save-most Quick Quilts magazines. Misc templates that don't go w/ any particaluar pattern.
Separate File: Quilt Patterns I want to do in the near future-I try really hard not to let this file get to big other wise it becoming to over whelming.
I am sure those topics will change as my skills to do but it all works for me.
Hope this is helper.
