Quilting and Patchwork

Creating a Mini Quilt Album

by Mary Emma Allen on July 10th, 2006

“I need a small scrapbook,” my daughter announced, as she browsed through my scrapbooking supplies.  “It should be small enough to carry in my purse.”

I had a 4 x 5-inch album she thought would work perfectly.  Then Beth explained further.  She posts photos of her quilts, hangings, and works-in-progress on her blog (http://meanderingthreads.blogspot.com) and has many photos saved on her computer and in a larger photo album.

“But I need a small album to carry with me to show people when they ask about my fabric art.”

What a neat idea, I thought. 

When I had a quiltmaking business, I developed an album with the various quilts and patchwork products I made for customers.  This was ideal to display at craft fairs and quilt shows.  But I’d never thought of a smaller one I could tuck into a purse or tote bag.

In addition to photos of her projects, Beth also can do patchwork collage effects with actual fabric scraps.  Her idea of a mini quilt album has me reaching for one of those 4 x 5-inch albums, too.
