By the way....

I used a pantograph called Fay Feathers SM by Lorien Quilting.

Rachel, if you change your setting for your email in blogger, I can respond directly to any questions or comments you write on my my blog (others will be able to also).

To make your email address visible in your settings! Log into blogger, on your dashboard page, click where it says "edit profile" on the left side of the page. Then check "SHOW EMAIL ADDRESS" in the 3rd line down, and at the bottom of the page click SAVE CHANGES!

I like to take photographs outside on my deck for the most part - indirect sunlight. For photos that show the actual quilting - side lighting with no flash - these I usually take while the quilt is still on the machine. Sometimes when I finish something at night, I'll take one inside in the living room but those never turn out as well. The last time I needed a full photo of a quilt - I had Keith hold it up on the deck.

I really liked the photo you took on the string quilt on your deck. I started adding the chair when we were in the apartment and I had such a small deck that I couldn't get it out of the photo and then the flowers when we moved here to the townhouse. I've been looking for a small potted tree to put out there this winter so I'll have a plant to include in my quilt photos. Keith just laughs at me!

Thanks for the advice! I am fairly new to the blogging world and have a lot to learn!
