I keep 2 journals, one with ideas, color combinations that turn me on, decorative tiles, fences, anything that tweak my creativity. The other is all my finished quilts, etc. with pictures, info on the patterns, corrections I had to make, what I would do if I made it again, etc. Its amazing going thru it with my granddaughter, I can't remember some of them or where they went. 26 years of quilting does take a toll on the memory
