6 and 5 of them are over 60yrs old the other one is from Jan/1974 But I have several binders of patterns I've copied at the library and the Free ones from WalMart that take up a full yard of book shelves. I did not realize the extent of these til I started packing my sewing room to move My brother says between fabric and patterns if I made 1 quilt a wk from a diff pattern I should be done with all by 2056 I quess he thinks I'll make it to my 100th B-day But I keep adding to both collections. I found a T-shirt that says'' God put me here to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I'm so far behind I will never die''. I plan on making a quilted wall hanging out of it for my new sewing room. :) Motivation
