I take pictures and put them on a CD of just my quilts...maybe the grandkids will get a kick out of that one day. Like I do looking at the old albums.

Yes, I keep an album with pictures, "ingredients" used, dimentions, etc. I also have a web page with all my quilt pics.

I keep finished pictures in a leather bound album(s) of my finished quilts. On the back of the pictures I put the size, fabric used if known and who it went to and why. I need more albums. I've filled 2, but don't remember where I bought them originally to match them. I could use at least 2 more. I also put alot of them on my webshots.com page. But I haven't added many in the last 2 years.

I take pictures of everything I make, blankets, quilts and aprons. I keep them on the computer and print out a copy for my records also. I include a brief summary of who I made it for, what insprired it, when I started and when I finished it; scraps of the fabric used, etc.

I try, but that's about it. I have a couple of quilt diaries to put the info in, but I can honestly say, it doesn't get a lot of use. I do manage to take pictures most the time, but that's about it, but I do label the quilts I give away.

I didn't at first, but now I always take a few photos of each project. And I am glad I do, because I have now sold (or given away) most of them, so at least I have a record of what I made.

I didn't think to do it in the beginning. I do try to remember to take at least one picture now, but forget from time to time. I really wish I had pictures of some of my first quilts, but that's life!

I do take pictures of everything I make from scratch. Wedding gowns, bridesmaids dresses, baby blankets, quilts, pillows, confirmation dresses, etc. That said, I started my "portfolio" before cameras went digital, so I don't have them on the computer. Most of the stuff I have time for since I had kids is hemming and repairs, and I don't take pics of those.

I didnt take pics at first but try to always take pictures now...some I only have photos of some because I only had a 35mm. Now with a digital its so easy to just put it onto the computer

I have pics on computer but also on a disk....several are made into prints and in a photo album.

It is a good idea to keep a record for yourself and for insurance purposes.
