Do you photograph your charity quilts?

I do photograph mine and save to my computer and phone so that when someone asks me "What is Project Linus?" I can tell them and then show them some of the examples of quilts they like to receive. Plus, I post them on Facebook to show my out of town family and friends.

Yes, I do. they are a record of the "work" I do and my personal history of quilt making. It is also a record of sorts of financial donations should there ever be a question about the number and sizes of quilts I donate to organizations such as Project Linus. Those I simply give to someone because they are in need of a quilt or a comforting hug are photographed onlyt as a record of my quilting history aka journey.
Interesting thread coincidence. Yesterday I was cleaning content from an old thumb drives and I found photos of quilts I had forgotten about and one that I thought I had never photographed. It was such a surprise to find that I had made a Sudoku quilt. Had forgotten all about it. It was like finding treasures hidden in the attic only it was on my computer.

I do take pictures of my quilts. But then I realized last year that there was a pile I donated that I missed the final pictures on. I usually take pictures in the process to share with my Mom...so I might be able to have some idea what I did!!! I often re-make a pattern for a charity quilt so its nice to have a visual of how I used a particular pattern before.

Well, sometimes, if I need a reference to the item that went to an organization for tax deduction purposes. I also used to set up a preliminary site for a charity sale. That way people knew what was being offered at a silent auction sale ahead of time.
But, mostly for sharing here on the board before the giving.
