I had a great time in Florida. I arrived home to find the snow was still piled high (still beautiful). However, i only enjoyed about 18 hours at home before heading out again. My journey yesterday was a drive to Denver. I have a new book in the works on Rhapsody quilts that will be published this fall by C&T (see link on left sidebar). There are 17 quilts being featured in the book made by quilters who have taken my Rhapsody classes. These quilts were in my posession for photography. Naturally, I'm using a professional photographer for these. However, for many quilters, a professional photographer is too expensive.

Quilt shows often reject a great quilt because of poor photography. Jurors don't want to see the side of your house, the garage door, or your hands holding the top of the quilt. Lighting is the most critical aspect. I'll chime in with some personal experience, but I'd like to hear photography tips and tricks from you first. Rembember to be brief. The blog only allows about 1000 charaters before it automatically cuts off your post. - Ricky

PS -
The quilt above is Dad's Lone Star. A member asked to see the quilt behind me in my photo. It was made by me and my dad. See all of my quilts at my personal website - click under my photo at top of page.
