I keep a running tally of picture albums here and on Facebook. I have been quilting just short of a year. Now I can't put in samples of fabric but what I have done is made small potholders from the fabric of each. Sometimes it ends up a block from the quilt or just the colors used. ( I am behind in the potholder section with Christmas).

It comes with a CD which has an user guide for downloading and using the program. I just sent a card to my brother for his birthday. It is really neat. After the holiday rush, I will be adding my quilts to this neat album. www.quiltalbum.com

I have a photo album that holds the pictures of my quilts, although I have forgotten a few of them, however, I'm trying to do better with the pictures, especially the photos of the family reunion quilts I make every 2 years. When I was in rehab recovering from spinal surgery in March, the nurses and staff asked to see some of my quilts, so it came in very handy. Thought I had convinced one nurse to take a class from me, but she's undecided at the moment, so I was glad I had to album.

I keep journal pages in plastic sleeves in a notebook. I used a Word template and add photos, info on the quilt, when it was made and for who. If I haven't quite finished the project, I print in draft mode on plain paper. Once the project is complete, I print the journal page on photo paper. I've attached links to a couple of my journal pages.

I have a small 4x6 album, that I put pictures in of my quilts. On the page next to the pic, I put the name and designer if it was not me. I also list who I gave it to, the amount of fabric I used, washing instructions and anything else I think the giftee may ask in the future.

I used to keep the design, (I design most of my quilts),scraps of fabric and drawings in a 1 large Manila envelope for each project. Over time that became just a snap shot. After reading some of these replies, I may start to do more than just snap a pix. I have a Mac and I can see that some of their WPs or presentation programs would be a great way to keep track of my work..
You guys are the best. Always something new, helpful and interesting. So glad I found you.

I've taken pictures of some of my finished projects and some I forgot to before mailing them on, so the thought is there. Just hope I can someday take time to put it all together. Of course if I can find it all by then, lol. I'm not totally unorganized, but I'm close!
