Yes, I take a photo and place it in my scrapbook with the pattern or a copy of the pattern.

I try to take photos of all my sewing and knitting projects. I bought a special scrapbook to someday put the pictures in so I can see how I have progressed. Also, I take pictures to show my daughter (Air Force, Germany) what I am doing.

Yes, I do too. I also keep a list on the computer: month completed, quilt # (now at 442) description and where it went. I see quilt diaries, but I know I would not keep one up, I am too busy quilting.

I have pictures of most of mine. Plan to put them in an album. For baby quilts I ask for a picture of the baby with the quilt. Parents love taking pictures. Now for a cold winter day to put it all together.

I try to take photos once I finish a quilt, but there are some I forgot and really wish I hadn't.

I take a photo of EVERY single quilt that I have finished..and keep them all in an album..its fun to look back and see if I wanta do a certain pattern again, or to show other quilt buddies who may be looking for a pattern,etc.

Yes, I do take photos of my work! I have done this for several years. It's really just a reference point for me, and it does come in handy! Originally I was printing out all my photos. Now I store them on my computer all nicely organized!
I also have alot of my work on my Facebook page. It's a great way to show friends and family what I am working on. :thumbup:

You can keep them on a blog...try blogspot.com. It's easy and free.

I put pictures in an album and put on the back, who I made it for, when I made it, the name of the quilt. I also have them in my computer. :)

I take progress pictures at each step (not just quilts, but all projects and for my kids' stuff as well) and keep a journal on the computer. I print each project as it is completed so that in case my computer crashes, I still have a hard copy and flash copy. In the hard copy, I include swatches of the fabrics I used.
