Photographing Fabric – Depth of Field

August 26, 2013 by Michelle

I was so excited to read that Plum and June are hosting a new monthly Quilt Photography Workshop linkup! It's a great way to get a monthly challenge and continue to improve on my photography skills. I've been really burned out on photography lately, but this inspired me to take my camera out for *fun* for the first time in over a year (in my non-quilting life, I'm a wedding photographer). I can't think of a better morning than taking some fabric photos. This is my pull for my picnic game … [Read more...]

WIP Wednesday: New Projects Galore

WIP Wednesday: New Projects Galore

The past week has been light on the sewing time and heavy on the planning time. Perhaps it's the promise of fall and thoughts chilly nights under a quilt (or ten!) that has brought on this onslaught of inspiration. Here are a few of my current projects and a few more that I'm starting this week: Picnic Quilt If you saw my weekend post, you got a sneak peak of my scrabble block! If you ever want a taste of losing it, sew together 225 1.5-inch squares into a board game layout. I have been not as … [Read more...]

It’s a Wrap! Baby D Chevron Quilt Finish

It’s a Wrap! Baby D Chevron Quilt Finish

I wasn't kidding on Wednesday when I said this quilt was going to have glamour shots taken. I almost wish I could have staged an amazing 80s glamour set, but this quilt is a bit too modern for that kind of foolishness. There is something about quilts outdoors that gets me everytime... throw in an old building and a field of long grass and I'm basically never leaving. And what fun is a quilt photoshoot without a dog photo-bomb?! … [Read more...]

Exposed! My Current Stash

Exposed! My Current Stash

I just started following a super fun quilting blog called Sarah Quilts. She posted pics of her fabric stash and asked others to join in. "You show me yours, I'll show you mine"! I pulled everything out of the back of my closet and although I see it every day when grabbing clothes, it just seems bigger all out there in the open. This is hopefully the biggest my stash will be. I know it doesn't look like much, but I live and work in under 200 square feet and my fabric stash currently takes up … [Read more...]

WIP Wednesday: On my bind

WIP Wednesday: On my bind

After auditioning tons of fabrics from my stash for the binding of the baby D chevron quilt (that just weren't quite right), I found these sweet little red polka dots hiding in the corner of my closet. I don't know if I should be really excited I found them, or concerned about my hoarding :) Baby D still has not made his/her grand entrance, so I think I will get this done in time. I think the baby will like the dots. Let's just ignore the fact that it looks like I'm sewing crooked :) I'm sure … [Read more...]
