See all the squares to my quilt. Slow Sewing - doing them by hand.
I love them. They are so soft and delicate. Perfect!
I use a composition notebook to keep track of what I am doing and how I do it.
How else would I know?
These are the notes for the quilt I am hand stitching for me. Click on picture to enlarge and you can see the photograph on the left page that inspired me. I wanted a soft airy, already old and faded look.
Really, I won't know if it fits what I am picturing in my mind until its done.
This is from the Shoo Fly quilt I finished for my son. I have my notes from the beginning, which is what I pictured in my minds eye. And the changes along the way. And even the finished product on the next page.
And my Brown Dog follows me everywhere.

Oh my goodness you are soooo organized. I bought a quilt journal a decade or so ago but I don't think I've ever filled it in.
Hi Cynthia, Oh dear, not so organized. This journal is more like a workbook I write what I need to do as I make the quilt and what size I am cutting the pieces. Because I take so long to finish them, I need the information written down or I would forget what I am doing! It's not so much like a Quilt Baby Book where I go back after and write down the good stuff.
