Good use for a digital camera

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 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 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.

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.
