It’s a good idea to take photos of all your quilting and fabric art projects. It’s even easier today, with digital cameras, than when I had to get photos developed from negatives. Sometimes you’re pressed for time and don’t bother. Then eventually you wish you had documented that particular piece of fabric art.
Why take photos? Here are 10 of the reasons:
- To have a record
- To remember specific patterns and designs
- To document your techniques
- To build a portfolio or album
- To put on your blog
- To show customers
- To use for making your own fabric
- To play with in photo programs
- To enter contests and shows
- To have for PR purposes
And…Just to have for memories
