I have pictures of most of my quilts. I've thought of putting them into a notebook. I also have pictures of most of my quilts and other sewing projects on my flickr page.

It's good to have an actual photo, as computers do wonky things now and then. I also like to make a photocopy of the pattern to keep notes on as I sew, then record the type of batting, etc. that was used. Keep these in a binder as a record of all the wonderful things you've made.

yes, I intend to make a quilt album, but have been taking pix of Baltimore Album blocks and other works in progress or as finished -- I share my pix with my quilting buddy and quilting friends -- projects often look even better in pix

For many years I did not and then I realized that I should have. I do now.

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. Same with labels.

I also take photos of my work, stored in the pc, and on a flash drive, I print out a bunch at a time and put in the old fashion photo album to share with other quilters.

I didn't the first years of quilting and am sorry I didn't because now I have lost track of how many quilts, wall hangings I have made! :lol:

I take pics of all of my projects and keep them on a thumb drive. I also make one or two prints of each (different views) and keep them in a project journal along with small pieces of fabrics used, pattern name, quilting info, dates, and who it was for. Recently, I've been adding a photo of the label too.

I take pics. Some I post some on sites like this one that I hope will stay around forever in case I want to see them again. I also save some on PC and a flash drive.

I take pictures during different stages of the quilts I make. I have a journal also. I put the pictures on the computer and have a quilt file. I also copy them to a flash drive incase my computer should crash - safety net!! It is nice to look back and see the quilts I made. Also take pictures of purses, totes, etc I have made.
