Bloggers Quilt Festival

Guess what time it is! It's Blogger's Quilt Festival time!
 
 
Amy's Creative Side puts on this amazing event and I am super excited to put forth my Beach Cabins Quilt for the Favorite Quilt Photographer Category.
 
 
I finished this lap-sized quilt this summer. You can read more about it here. This was a commission quilt where my client gave me two pieces of fabric (a blue and a red gingham) and said, "Make me something beachy". I used the Crooked Cabins Pattern from From The Blue Chair for this quilt, and it was EXACTLY what my client wanted :) Yay!
 


If you are a new visitor to my blog, or know me a wee bit, you will see that taking my finished quilting projects on a road trip and photo shoot is an absolute must and the final piece of my creative process. I love to take photos! and I try to find places that suit the quilt. Of course, for this one, I had to go to the beach! Off to the pictures...

 



When I take a quilt for it's photo shoot I like to take some pictures in a couple of different spots just for variety... in this case, this abandoned building foundation near the beach offered some green and a chance for some close ups.




I love this quilt, and it's pics! I wish it was still at my house, but I know it is happy in it's new home in Ottawa.

Thank you for visits and it would be great to have a vote thrown my way!
Oh, and I'd love to hear about your photo process :)
