Record Keeping

After the guild meeting this week, I realize I need a better system of tracking my quilts.  I have most of them photographed, but have not organized or recorded information on them.  I have tried to put them in a book, but keeping that updated seems to be a bit of a chore.  I am thinking of adding a category here and posting them here.  Will have to test a few things out, figure out what information I want to record for each quilt. 

I at minimum, I will need to record the name, date, pattern, who quilted it.  Maybe type of material used, size, who I have given it to and so on.   Might – create a drupal site to do the recording of my quilts.  Set up a content type for them and then enter the information I want to record.  Will play with some ideas this month and see what I like most.  Something online would be nice as I can then access it from anywhere when I want some information.  The hard part with any process though, is to keep it up to date.  I have starting a quilt numbering system, with quilts I have done for my business (Quilts by Scott) these include client quilts however.  I do want to document them as well, but want to keep them private unless the customer is okay with me posting information about their quilt.  There is a good recording sheet at the Lighthouse Quilt Guild - http://www.lighthousequiltguild.org/forms/LHQG-QuiltRecord.pdf.
