Do you balk at searching through your entire pattern stash for the exact style you want, and that you know is in there somewhere? Upgrade your filing system electronically. Scan or take digital photos of the fronts and backs of your pattern envelopes, then sort them in electronic files. Thumbnails of the images are just a click away!

Now I have portable access to both fabrics and patterns, with fairly good color fidelity, as long as my laptop doesn't crash! (Oh, for an iPad . . .)
