    I try to put pix of everything I make in an album but must admit I've gotten behind.

    I find it a lot of fun just to sit down & go through my album.

    I started quilting about 45 years ago when I either helped or made quilts for my children and originally did not label my quilts. I also did not take pictures of them. Several years later I learned from an artist that you should always sign and date anything you do, which I did with everything but probably not my quilts. About 5-6 years ago I started keeping a picture of my quilts but have never put any additional information with them - you have all made me think about that part and think I will go back and do the best I can. Thanks for sharing and I HOPE ALL OF YOU AT LEAST TAKE PICTURES OF EACH QUILT YOU MAKE. Believe me - in the future you will wish you had. It also shows how much your quilting abilities have grown. Onward & Upward - we learning something new every day.

    I keep a photo album and write the date, who it went to on the back of each photo. However it was a small album so looks like I'll be investing in a bigger one soon.

    I do a scrapbook page for each of my quilts, especially the ones I give away. Each page includes a photo or two and a little background on the quilt. Here are a few sample pages.

    I have a quilt journal that my DD bought me which as yet remains unused. In the mean time I have all the quilts I made in digital form on my CP and a flash drive - date made and for whom

    Thank you so much for sharing - all of you - I appreciate all the wonderful ideas here. I am a beginner quilter so it will be fun to start keeping pictures with this quilt. I just wish that I had pictures of all the other things I have made/embellished through the years.
