I went to the photographer yesterday and had the quilt shot, I had him photograph the back too. You can see my favorite binding technique is to do a faced binding on the back. I still have to do the label, but at least I now have a jpeg to send in with the show entry form.
if I may ask, who do you use for your quilt photography? do you have any recommendations for finding a reputable photographer?
ReplyDeletePS - I love the quilt - it is stunning!

It's fantastic - the back makes it look like a wholecloth quilt, but I love the front too.
ReplyDeleteThanks
ReplyDeleteWhen I needed to find a photographer, I called one of my favorite galleries and asked if they could recommend an art photographer. I had tried google searches but I just came up with wedding and portrait photographers.
I am still amazed...the quilting on this piece is exquisite. What kind of thread did you use? How big is this piece? And where will it be shown?
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen. I used Superior threads King Tut cotton. It is 57" x 70" and the first entry form I have filled out is for PIQF. Generally I enter quilts in IQF and PIQF, I am going to try and work on entering more shows though. Honestly I get so busy doing other stuff, I forget to look at other shows deadlines.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I'm having a hard time deciding if I like the back better than the front of the quilt. It is stunning. I'm finishing a wholecloth quilt to be in a show but I don't like to show it to anybody besides my family, I'm kind of funny that way. I can see many ribbons on your quilt. B E A U T I F U L...
ReplyDeleteI came over from Red Thread Studio and this quilt is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather!
ReplyDeleteStunning! Just saw this link from your new video camera post. Machine or hand quilted? If machine - what machine do you have?
ReplyDeleteThanks
