I write out a paragraph and added a picture. I put the paper and picture in a page saver. I type it out, I have lousy handwriting.

i save fabric swatches (sometimes just a little 1/2" x 1" piece from the quilt, and include what batting i used along with any notes about the project...not great (yet) about finished pictures added to my journal but it's pretty good ... will be better when i actually start getting the pictures in there. i do have rough sketches, and stuff like that included along with the who, what, why & when's and any personal notes i jot down along the way.

I've been keeping a quilt journal for some time...I like to think that the quilts I make are my legacy.

I am new to quilting but I have kept a journal of all of my cross stitch items. This is a great idea because this journal can alo be used as a brag book or a portfolio for those who are in business.
