For as long as I can remember I've liked to write. In middle school I began writing poetry then in high school, college, and beyond I did a lot of journaling. It feels good to be able to express my thoughts, feelings and ideas on paper. I have two "Mommy Journals" for my two boys. They are like "letters to my child" to give to them when they are grown. I started both journals before they were born, writing to them about the anticipation of the first day I would met each of them. (This takes the place of a baby book). Because of my love of writing I knew I would be able to convey to them more feelings and emotions than I would in a baby book.
Anyway, back to journaling. A few years ago I walked into a fabric store and saw a book called "My Quilting Journal" so it was only natural that I buy it. But as I leafed through it I noticed that there was not enough space for me. When I write I can fill up pages! (I'm not one of those 2-sentence kind of people). But with my creative juices flowing I thought... How easy would it be to find a journal with blank pages and then label them myself? So that's what did.
(I just LOVE label makers!)
Some of the sections I created were taken from the original book such as the finished dimension of the quilt. But then I added extra categories such as swatches of the fabric and where I bought them from, photos and any other comments about the quilt.
