Well my daughter gave me a book with a Simplicity pattern as a cover - empty notebook. Not sure what I would do with it and then one day, I thought to write in the month and what I just finished. And so it continued. The very coolest thing that came out of it was that when I purchased my sit down longarm, I could tell how many quilts I have quilted on it. That is good information in case I decide to upgrade my basic machine, I will be able to tell about how much my machine as been used. It was an eye opener as to how much I really use that machine! I also recorded who the quilt was going to. So bascially, its a sentence, maybe two and fun to go back and see what projects I made.
