I usually try to coax my oldest into holding it for a few minutes (that's all he'll give me) at the bottom of our front steps. The wind is nearly always blowing so it always takes longer than I think it will and he's always incredibly annoyed.Chiskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06587658545851403603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283434021680036683.post-67571468004864974482015-05-13T11:57:27.989-04:002015-05-13T11:57:27.989-04:00What a great building/backdrop!

I often sneak around through back alleys in my neighbourhood looking for places to tack my quilts up, usually on someone's fence or the back of a paint-peeled garage door. Recently I found a wonderful spot in a public park with some beautiful tiered rock walls. Bonus is that it's often protected from the wind, which is a factor often to be considered. Sun and not sun ... those are other issues for me, being that I am a totally amateur photographer with a critical eye. You can see my recent rock wall photo shoot quilt photos here, if you care to ... http://lovepeacequilt.blogspot.ca/. For smaller quilt projects, I like to use our greyed natural cedar deck for backdrop.Heather Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10225483666564626507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283434021680036683.post-13781174876347563752015-05-12T18:15:07.738-04:002015-05-12T18:15:07.738-04:00Your photos look great!

It's not very photogenic though, it's a concrete rectangle, surrounded by other houses and contains 2 hutches of rabbits. Rabbit poo in a photo is perhaps not the way forward! I'm about to start quilting my first bed sized quilt though so I will need to find a good spot for a photo shoot.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167739272302561918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283434021680036683.post-60987162311792754362015-05-08T02:38:01.666-04:002015-05-08T02:38:01.666-04:00One of my sons fell backwards off a wall during on...One of my sons fell backwards off a wall during one of our quilt photoshoots!
