A dear friend took me under her wing when I started quilting (or, more accurately, she continues to keep me under her wing). She gave me a steno pad with a cover she’d made with an embroidered logo representing our hobbies: the cycling quilters! From then on, every time we sewed together I’d put notes from our conversations right in that wonderful notebook.

(Editor’s note: I love this tip, because the friendships we make and nurture through our hobbies are so important, just as much or more than the hobbies themselves. It’s a lovely thing to do, to record the special moments!)
