I have all my computer files and photos stored online. I can access them from any computer.
If my computer crashes I can restore the files. Google Cloud, ICloud, Amazon Cloud and other online storage is available. Picasa will upload all your photos to an online album. Every picture I take on my Iphone goes online for backup. You pay for internet let it work for you.

I definitely have a stash of quilt photos that I printed from Google and Flickr, and find it so much easier to leaf through them than to look at an icon on the screen and try to figure out whether it's worth opening or not. I'd be clicking all day. Much more relaxing to sit with a cup of tea on a Sunday morning. I also collect books - at latest count I have 137 to provide me with inspiration.

I'm with you. I have too many magazines and things I've printed. I just download them and leave them be until I need a pattern.

How do you save it to your Kindle? I would love to be able to do that. I just don't know how yet. Please explain. Thank you.

I've done a lot of that. But its because every quilt I do has been a different pattern.. So many to try I'll never get caught up

I do this incessantly! I spent most of one day this week sorting and hole punching a messy stack of printed-off patterns and images and ideas to put in a 3 ring binder I've now labeled Quilt Patterns & Ideas Book II! (That tells you I've already filled up Book I). If I ever get even half of these made, I'll be swamped in quilts. But I'm a little (a lot?) obsessive about saving, either on the computer or by printing out, a quilt photo or pattern I like.
