My quilt board history
 

What a joy from scrolling through threads I have posted.

I have posted 7 years. My quilts have been preserved by this quilt board. I am fortunate. Not one quilt for me, wonderful to see my loved quilted friends ( my quilts). I call them friends because I have lived/ laughed/cried with them from start to finish.

I never thought of QB as a history of the quilts I have made.

How do you find your posts?

Homespun, go to your profile and look on the left panel there is where you can find where you have commented and started your own post.

I agree. There is a history of my quilting on this board. I have now been quilting 6 years, and this board has been with me every step of the way....starting with the first time I changed the blade in my rotary cutter and didn't know if I should wipe the excess oil off of the blade before I put it in the cutter. I asked the question here and got an answer immediately.

I find it handy to go look at threads I started, like when I started my first Bargello and asked for advice. I got so much good information from that thread that I revisit it when I am selecting fabric for a Bargello.

And I am pretty sure I have posted a picture of each quilt as soon as it was finished. :)

This is a good place to be, and I hadn't thought of it being a history of my quilting, but it certainly is. :).

I never thought of it that way but it is true. Just the other day, I was reading an old thread which was about prairie points and surprise, there was a reply from me. I had a picture of a quilt I made with information about the size of the HSTs, which were in the top, and the size of the prairie points. It is a nice history.

What nice memories, but maybe you should save some pictures too. Just in case something happens to all this electronic world we live in. It is however very nice to be able to look back.

When I click onto "The Quilting Board Daily Digest", I find my board name at the top. A click on that takes me to my profile. I go there every day to see who has replied to my posts. I can never remember to which posts I have sent a reply. And I go there to see if anyone else has viewed my threads.

Thanks or info.

Good thought. Now I wish I had them all posted here. I know someone once said she used the quiltingboard as a log/journal of her quilts...as a blog maybe? I can't remember now but it would be nice to have record of them all in one place. And what better place right?

I too love to use the QB as a history/journal of my quilting experience. While I do have a lot of pics saved to my computer, the most comprehensive record is right here! I got my LA as a member here and it is fun to go back and see how my style of LAQ has changed as I progressed. It can also help serve as encouragement and motivation for other newbie LAers. My very first tentative longarming doodles are posted here on the board and almost every quilt I have longarmed since then.

I use the "albums" feature to record my quilts. I don't have that many but each is recorded and who received it. I probably should describe the quilt more in the notes area. But I'm learning LOL.

I love this QB. I know it holds a lot of history here. My only problem is that when I finish a quilt, I give it away before I get the chance to take a picture. I have to work on that.

I love looking at the quilts others have done, but I have never posted one; just too technically impaired to do it.

I haven't posted any quilts since 2014 and not all of them. I have been sewing up a storm and donating them.

I never thought of it that way...but thank you I will be able to find a picture of a quilt that I can't find pic to show DIL.

Did you know that you can go to my profile and see all my posts and threads? And I can go to yours and see all your posts and threads. This helps when you know that a member posted something, but can't find it another way. I don't have to do that, but it may be helpful.

This is also why i have albums on here of my quilts, collection of small/toy sewing machines and vintage sewing sewing machines. I have a record of it online here and love it, i don't know how many people actually have put albums on their profiles???
