Oh beautiful with a black background too Maureen. Enjoy Ritzy.

Equally beautiful, Ritzy!!! Great mug rugs, Maureen!

AND yesterday I received the opposite of Rita--isn't it pretty. Thank you Maureen, your hand-dyed fabrics are beautiful.

I love Rita's mug rug too, Maureen. The colors are so bright and cheery against the white background and the quilting is fun--it speaks to the muggie, just perfect!

Love Rita's mugrug Maureen it's fabulous

Please, Marilyn. Your picture is much better than mine and I want the world to see how beautiful it is. Thank you!

Thanks Jane! Yours is my weekend project! (This whole day job thing just takes away from my quilting time!)

Don't feel bad Jane...I have trouble with my little Nikon ! Some times something gets " adjusted " in my
pocket !! And that's for sure ...the color just wasn't right ! Oh, well we tried. Do you want
me to put it on the show and tell??

I think that there are several early shows that have Gregory Case giving hints on how to get accurate color, etc when photographing quilts. Some of those might be helpful. I don't remember which shows exactly, but it might be in the descriptions.

I know, I felt terrible when that picture popped up and it just looked very bland when in fact it's a gorgeous color and should have shown what Marilyn used for me. Thanks, Rita, I'll look at the camera settings to see what is available. I tried on my pc (not a Mac) but it wasn't changed much.

Jane I wonder if it is similar to iPhoto? You go into 'Edit' and that should give you various options - e.g. rotate, crop, straighten, enhance etc. There might also be 'Adjust'. Either 'enhance' or 'adjust' should give you options to brighten the photo. I know that it's different for PCs but you might have something similar. Unless you have a Mac in which case you should nave iPhoto anyway. I hope that's not too confusing and of some help. It is very frustrating when the colours that come out in a photo don't bare any resemblance to what they should be.

Geneva, your mug rug is in today's mail.

Maureen and Wendy---beautiful mug rugs and very lucky recipients.

And Marilyn, sorry my camera phone didn't pick up the wonderful orange sherbert color of the fabric and glad you had something to use to show everyone how wonderful it is. But even your picture doesn't do it justice.

Does anyone know how to fix or adjust photos to pick up the correct colors and details? And I know different monitors can effect how colors are viewed but still my picture came out much too light--maybe its phone cameras or maybe I had too much light on the mug rug--any help or instruction is appreciated.
