Organizing all those finished projects


I recently loaded Quilt Album 2.2 onto my computer and set to work to organize my limited array of completed quilt projects. I found the instructions very clear and was quickly able to upload photos of my projects and type in the coordinating information for each quilt. Scrolling through the program I found the master list of projects I had entered quite professional looking and immediately decided that since my quilting projects were somewhat limited, why not include general sewing projects. The program allows you to specify categories and that is just what I did. I typed in headings such as; Holiday projects, Home décor, Clothing, and Fabric accessories. The next task was to upload photos and fill in the categories with the project information, adding additional categories as needed. I now have the start of a master list of all things sewn in the Mason household.


Delving a little deeper into the program I quickly came across another interesting option; the ability to format your uploaded photos and project information to print greeting cards, address labels, quilt labels and more. What a great idea and it was so fast, in minutes I had a series of note cards to use when writing a note to friends and family. The program allows you personalize the card with a greeting and the amount of project information you prefer as well as choose between a few fonts and font colors. This feature provides an added extra to an already very cool program.


Here is an example of a quick note card I made with the program. It could be glittered up or other embellishments added to make it your own. I wanted something very simple as my time was limited so chose to simply add a thread accent around the photo.
