Are you familiar with QuiltAlbum? It's a new quilting software that allows you to organize and document your quilts, keeping all of the details and information about them in one place. You've spent so much time working on your quilts, you really owe it to yourself to document them too!
The amazingly talented Pat Sloan invited me to review the product a couple of weeks ago, and I was thrilled at the opportunity. Pat is the best! I'm not the most organized person in the world, so I thought this would be a great way to help me keep photos and details about my quilts together. And it really is.
QuiltAlbum is very easy to use. Once it's downloaded on your computer, you access it while you're online. When you enter a quilt into the program, it gets its own page in the QuiltAlbum. You upload a photo of the quilt, and then there are fields where you can ad all sorts of information about your work, from the name, the pattern, quilting method, etc., as well as a field where you can add personal notes about the quilt. It's that simple!
Another thing that I think is great about the program is that you can also print out pages from your QuiltAlbum in a variety of ways. You can print complete album pages with photos and details about the quilt, but also everything from postcards to mailing labels, and even labels that you can use on your finished quilt!
I've been using QuiltAlbum for a couple of weeks now and I'm really pleased with the product. It's truly a great way to document the details about your quilts, it's easy to use, and it's a nice way to organize and store everything in one place. Plus it's affordable too! You can download the program for $29.95, or if you prefer to have it on a disc, the price is $39.95. But, if you use the discount code BCX-UK you can save $5 at checkout! Just go to QuiltAlbum's site to order and add your discount code at checkout.
Would you like to win a copy of QuiltAlbum? As a special thank you to my readers, the folks at QuiltAlbum are giving away a copy of the program to one of you! Just leave a comment below to be entered to win. For an extra entry, please become a follower of my blog and leave another comment! I'll use the Random Number Generator to choose a winner, and the giveaway will be open until Wednesday, August 3, 2011 at midnight EST. Good luck!

This would be great since I am the worst about documenting my quilts. I wish I were better and this software might help.
I would LOVE to win this. Currently I make my own album by keep notes, pictures, etc in a 3-ring binder.
Thanks for the chance to win!!
I would LOVE to win the Quilt Album and perhaps some of your Slab Pie ... =]. Oh yeah ... this is not about food!

What a great way to keep track of all quilting creations. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your giveaway!
As I get older QuiltAlbum would be a wonderful way for my family records. No arguments on who get what if I have it documented. I would have a record to share just what I was thinking of at the time.
This looks neat! I would love to with the Quilt Album...maybe then I would actually document the things I'm working on.
I love this! As admin of a quilting software (design) site, I know how well computers can partner with quilting - and this would kick start my documenting of my projects! I lose track of some that I give away, like charity quilts. Thanks for the chance to win!

The Quilt Album sounds wonderful & you make is sound very easy to use, even for those of us somewhat tech challenged. I'd love to win one of them. Thank you for splaining it to us.

Love this idea. It would be easier than taking picture, having it developed and glued to a book with notes.
Looks like a wonderful product. I would love to use it. Thanks for the chance:)
I'd love to win! I'm so bad about keeping track of my quilts that I don't even put labels on them!! This sure would help me get more organized and document my quilts better. midnightsewin at yahoo dot com

i follow your blog.
Thank you Heather and thanks to Quilt Album - super idea.
I am now a follower and will add your blog to mine.
I'd love to be more organized about documenting my quilts. My one question is whether you can include more than one picture of a quilt for its documentation. I like to take a formal shot, a casual shot and a close up shot.
This is something I'm in serious need of. thanks for the chance to win.
I would love to win this. I need to start documenting my quilts and I could certainly use the help with the organizing part of things. LOL! Thanks for the opportunity to win.=)
I would love to win the software in your giveaway. I usually just take a picture and put it in an album.
Quilt Album sounds fantastic. I, probably just like many others, have document photos and patterns, and data all over the place! Thanks so much!
I am sooooo disorganized when it comes to my quilts -- if my 22 year old daughter didn't keep me straight, I'd forget half of what I've made.
Please enter me to win a copy of this new software....
This program looks great. Anything to help be get more organized! Thanks for counting me in, Heather.

This is a neat idea. I used to keep a book - when I produced quilts at a much slower rate!

thanks for the chance to win - I'd love to win a copy of the quilt album software so I could keep the photos in some sort of order !
I really thought this through carefully before putting my name in the pot for this great gift. I wasn't real sure it was something I would really use but the longer I studied on it and read about it, I decided the Quilt Album would be something I would absolutely use, documentation is necessary to insure the providence of our quilts don't you agree? Thanks for the chance!!!
OH my, I really need this! I keep losing the booklet I made and had to make a new one for this year, last years filled up...
I added your feed to my E-mail...
This would be a great way to start to document my quilts. Thanks for the giveaway.
I now follow you by email. Thanks for the giveaway.
I use a word document to keep track of my quilts. This would be so much better. Thanks for the chance to win.
I'm all for any product that helps keep me organized. Looks like a great idea
Wonderful way to keep track of things!
Hi Heather! What an awesome product.
This looks like a truly awesome way to keep track of you quilt projects.
Sounds like a program made just for me! I sure would love to win this!
I think this might actually work for me. I use the computer so much I'm almost lost the ability to use a pen and paper. LOL
will it help me remember what I filed something under ????
What a nice way to document our quilts AND send birth announcements of our creations by notecard.
Sounds great. Would help me document my quilts better since I've made a lot for ill people.
Oh my, this is not a "would like to have",but a "must have"!! One look at my organization skills would send everyone running and screaming for cover.Almost like I do everytime I am searching for info about a finished project of mine!
I would love to get organized!
Thanks for the chance to win!!!!
would love to win the Quilt Album it sounds great. I take pictures and keep them in a folder this would be much better
That sounds sooooo helpful. I'd like to catalog my quilts for my kids and keep track of how I interpreted different patterns.
This would be a great present for my MIL!

I've been eager to get a copy of Quilt Album since I first heard about it. I am very eager to try out printing cards and labels with my quilts on them:) Thanks for the chance.
I keep WANTING to get organized, but photos are not in the same place as notes as ideas as projects started and so on. Your review has got me ready to buy. thank you!
Oh I cannot tell you how much I would love to have this. Currently I have all my projects that I am working on and there are 43 in a cedar chest. and then in a box in my closet. The ones I have completed I have taken pictures of and put the pics in a shoebox. The projects that are done and ready for christmas presents are stored on a shelf so I can try to keep account of who I have already made for. But after reading about this software omg it would be such a blessing for me. Then maybe Aunt Deb wouldn't get 2 quilts made for her and not for cousin Janet. That was a mishap I had last year. Thanks for having the give-a-way and please consider me in it...
Oh I am a follower of your blog...
Would love to be able to have some info besides just a picture record of what I've made (and then gave away)
