Should we be called 'hoarders'? At least most of my patterns are on the hard drive, so that will be quick to clean up if I choose to do so. Only a few will ever be made, but I couldn't bring myself to just delete any. The bedroom cupboard is half full of magazines and books, and that's not all. There's the collection of candlewick, redwork and applique designs & books. And I have embroidery machines so one drawer is full of embroidery cds, gathered in the same way as patterns and fabrics. My double garage is my sewing/quilting room and the walls are full of fabrics, laces, specialty wools and braids, paints and other hobby 'stuff'. Not sure if my kids will squabble over who gets what or will cart it all to the dump when I go, but for now I will just enjoy it all.
