Yes - a camera is a "must have" tool when I quilt, sew, do any home project. Thanks for the reminder!

I have to do this if I lay out the blocks on the floor and need to leave it overnight. I have two furry friends (cats) that like to lay/play on my quilts. When I get up in the morning it looks like a tornado hit. They have their own idea of layout.

I'll use this to ask friends' opinion if I'm not sure. Was real handy when I made my DGS I Spy quilt. Friends we able to email their thoughts and make suggestions about moving blocks.

I also use my camera to take photos in progress. When I'm with quilting friends can show them what I'm working on and get suggestions if something isn't right. Also email to my far away friends for suggestions and comments.

I always use the camera through the process.

I do that, too, but I also print the picture out when I am undecided on how to quilt it, and draw on the picture till I figure it out.

I have done that too...most recently to audition border fabrics.

and I take pics of anything I sew for the journal I keep. It helps me remember who got what, what colors I liked and used and if I did it for a swap here on the board I take pics of what I sent and to whom and if I get a block in return that I want to try myself-it's just a handy little thing to have.

I like taking pictures. I am the worst when it comes to color and I find for some reason it helps me with placement. For some reason I've yet to understand the colors and values are easier for me to see if I view it as a picture. Go figure.

I take a pic with my iPad and then I can have it there beside me.
