Default Are you a pattern junkie? I am.

I don;t know if anyone else does this, but I save every pattern I see and like on
my computer. The problem is I never make them. I just collect them.
Today I purged hundreds of them from my hard drive to free up some space. I
keep thinking I WILL make them at some point. I would have to take them to
eternity with me. I also do the same with recipes.
There must be a name for this obsession, LOL.

I too collect patterns in my computer. I only print the ones that I think I possible might make.

I found a use for all the quilt pictures I saved on my computer. Turned
them into my screensaver. Now I get to revisit lots of them. Fun.

I save them to Pinterest. They are all right there and not taking up space on my computer. Even the patterns I bought I scan and save online.

I can certainly identify with you. I have hundreds of both quilt patterns and recipes saved on my computer - anything quilt-related that I like and recipes I think we would enjoy although I do very little cooking these days. So, yes, I guess I'm a junkie too!

Guilty! I always say "when I retire and have more time"! I still will never be able to make all the quilts and recipes I have already collected.

I don't have a lot of patterns, but I do have a ton of pictures. I go thru them at least once a month and delete the ones that were just passing fancies!

Whew! At last! Someone who saves patterns and pictures of quilts in notebooks!! I'm a computer duck and have never learned (or succeeded) in saving to the computer. If something comes through to my inbox, I've learned how to save those into folders, but others I print and store in binders -- lots and lots of binders. I'm hopeless. But I do enjoy flipping through them when I need inspiration. And no, I will never be able to make all of those I like.
