Quilt Scrapbooks

      A few days ago I was not psychologically ready to start quilting the queen size Dogwood top.  When I was teaching the string piecing class at Creative Sewing, I mentioned my quilt scrapbook that was started about 2003.  A student suggested I bring it to class.  When I started, I tried to make fancy page layouts. 


What was one book has expanded to 3; however, since I started my blog, I have not updated them.  I pulled them out and have spent many hours the past few rainy days updating.  I have also learned more about my printer.  

     I have no idea how many quilts I have made.  Maybe someday I will sit down and count.  I had to search for some old photo files and may be missing some.   A couple of years ago I started keeping a separate notebook of charity quilts for tax records.  I have included some donated quilts in my scrapbook because I love the design or the quilting.  I have printed many quilt photos to add, so the updating is almost complete.  Now, I hope to keep them updated.

  1. Wow, wish I had done this long ago. It is really a good idea. Instead i have the blog printed in book form each year....yet I love your scrapbook idea so much. Yes, you should continue to update!

  2. I love your scrapbook pages! I have recently (finally) started making a quilt scrapbook. I had lots of my quilt pictures printed and so far I have only completed about 4 pages. I'm like you in that I have no idea how many quilts I have made. I'll have to go back in my blog to see when I made each quilt, etc. I have never even thought of making a tax deduction for donated quilts. How do you value them? I usually make at least 2 - 4 per year depending on size.
