Thy would have samples of their fabric and would write what they thought of them/planned to do with them/had done with them.
The book in question even showed some pictures of these antique books. I fell in love with them I must say!
I am doing something like this. They lady who taught my sewing class stated that she wished that she had done it, so I thought that I would. All I am doing is taking a picture of the completed the quilt, pattern, month/year completed, who it went to, what type of quilting, (in the ditch, free motion, etc.) Then I an gluing a swatch of all the fabric used on the quilt. I am very glad to have it.
