I keep a daily diary in a note book - date, time and briefly what I did for the day: Like this: 7/30/2015 - 10:00-11:30 AM - cut out fabrics black and red for the "Quick Quilt". I have notebooks from when I started in 2011 when I started quilting. I am a retired teacher and administrator; had to keep daily notes and lesson plans so I just carried this over to my quilting.
