My Scrap Smart Image CDs got me started. For decades quilts have been a symbol of history and considered heirlooms. Yet as I tried to describe my first sewing projects to my daughter, I had nothing to show her. Why haven't we given the same respect to the things we sew?
My oldest daughter is in to scrapbooking and I have finally "gotten" why! It's a wonderful way to preserve more than plain flat pictures.
From now on everything I make, is going to get it's own scrapbook page. I own a digital camera so the image of the finished item is fast and easy.
Each page is going to now have:
- The date I started and the date I completed the item (That should encourage me to finish everything I start.)
- A scrap of the fabric.
- The pattern information.
- The amount of time it took to make the item.
- Techniques that I tried for the first time.
- Things I would change if I made that same pattern again.
- A photo of the item.
