PHOTO DAY

 Darrell just finished one of his projects and photographed it this morning.  Then I got out my quilt stand and hung Carpe Diem and he photographed it too.

His lighting is color temperature adjustable.  Its very interesting to change them and see what it does to the colors of the quilt.  But they do really show off the quilting.

PHOTOGRAPHYING BIG FLOWER

 We set up Darrell's bench room for photos and hung Amity Baroque for photographing.  He took a bunch of photos.

This is not one of the photos he took.  I shot this with my iPhone.

JAPANESE MAPLE

 Here is a group of photos showing the progression of the loss of leaves over a few weeks.

I started taking daily photos as homework for my upcoming workshop with Irene Roderick.

We had a big windstorm at one point and the tree lost a lot of it's leaves overnight.

Then you can see, a few days later, where we cleaned up the leaves and debris.

This has been a very interesting project.

PHOTO DAY

 Darrell set up his shop space for taking photos.  He took the photos I need to submit to Quiltcon of two of my quilts.

It was fun and fascinating to be able adjust the 'temperature' of the lights with his new Godox lights.

MORE PICTURES

 I didn't like the pictures we took yesterday of the Covid quilt - so we took more today.  And then I submitted them to Quiltcon At Home and Road2CA.

QUILT PHOTO TAKING

 Darrell helped me out by taking photos of quilts for me.  I wanted to get pictures of my Millennium Quilt - which I haven't seen in about 15 years.  It's been in a closet and doesn't smell very good.  But it looks good.  It never got much use.

Then he photographed the Covid quilt.

PICTURES TAKEN

Darrell was kind enough to take the photos I need of my quilts for the application for Quiltcon.

BINDING DAY

Hello September!  I love you!  

I finished off 'G' because I had made the triangle squares yesterday.  I needed to get them off my table.  That didn't take long.

Darrell was shooting photos of his newest piece, a Tall Corner Table.  He set it up in the dining room.  The dogs and I were an interested audience.

Then it was on to the binding for Pub Path.  First I cut the excess off.  I use my big 15" ruler to square up the corners.

I made the binding then sewed it onto the back, ironed it, then folded it over to the front.  I use the new binding clips to hold it all down.  I need to buy more clips.  Then top stitch it down on the front.

When sewing it down onto the front I love using my little awl.  It really helps.
