have you ever sat looking through old photo albums and gazed at a picture of a group of people for the longest time...thinking...who are these people? why did I not put anything on the back? when was this taken? it must have meant something at the time; I bet at the time I thought- 'I don't need to write who it is- I will never forget this moment' guess what- years down the road you do forget. I have 'quilt journals' and sometimes one of the kids will be looking at them & show me a quilt I made years ago---and forgot all about- even a simple label- name of quilt, your name, city, state, date is good to add- sometimes something more- but at least the basics.
