Yes, my name is Linda and I'm a pattern hoarder.
|
Yes, many, many, many! No, I'll never make them all but I love the library.
|
Oh yes, I was looking at all my patterns I’ve printed and we are now in the third pack of paper. I told myself that this has to stop, but I love them.
|
You are not alone. My sister calls this PAS, pattern acquisition syndrome. Mine is not confined to quilt patterns. I recently visited my parents and discovered that my mother has this syndrome, too. So, it must be genetic and not my fault. Therefore, I can just enjoy, LOL.

My addiction is quilting pics. I save them as picture folder, downloads, insert into word files, one file might have 500 pages of quilt pics, unrelated, bookmarks.....no order in this category.

I have lots of books, too many magazines and way, way, way too many patterns. I buy them and get the hard copy or I get the pdf and print it off. Those I have strewn all over my sewing room. I need to organize them somehow. But some of them are 13 pages long. Any ideas?

I love collecting patterns. On a slow quilting day, I will spend hours looking through my patterns getting inspired to get back to the cutting board.

Don't like to use "hoarder" but "collector"~ Have more quilt patterns, pics, and recipes than any 10 women could ever sew or cook! Have a fair amount of "stash" too. So . . . it's been suggested that maybe I like "collecting" better than sewing or cooking!;):(

I think I would corral a kid who seems to understand you "addiction" and you two agree as to how your treasures will be distributed. I DH says he will light a bonfire in the driveway! I told him I would haunt him forever if he did that.
