I learned that photos are really important to keep track of your accomplishments. My sister-in-law was a marvelous quilter and upon her death, my brother and I wanted to decorate the church with her works. Well, we had some quilts that she used in their home and knew who to contact for others, but we had no record of the body of her work. We know there were many, many more. It was so important to her family to see the quilts that she had done. This also introduced others who did not know that she quilter to this special part of her life.
When I began using her stash, I began documenting all finished works. Just a photo, finished date and to whom it was given. Some quilts are just practice pieces but they will be donated. Others are gifts made for a specific individual for a special occasion. I enjoy returning to my photos to see how much my skills have changed and how much more "daring" I have become over time.
Keep a record of some kind, if not for you, for those who will come after you.
