I went to visit my dad in Nevada a couple days ago. There was some old snow on the ground and since I admire many of the "quilts in the snow" shots that bloggers post and there was a quilt I made in 2011 for my dad's birthday that I hadn't photographed, I figured it was a good opportunity to try it out!
I had just read a photography tutorial by Ann at Play Crafts and she said that indirect light is helpful in getting desired results. Keep in mind that this is my first try and I need a lot more practice. |
My first quilt that I free motioned quilted on a small machine. I heavily quilted around the animals to made them pop up. |
There is an owl sitting there so he got in the picture too! |
Since Dad is a cowboy, I made a cowboy boot block. |

Your Dad's quilt is just beautiful! You did a wonderful job quilting it and the photos are great. Good job! The colors and the blocks are very pretty and I know your Dad loves that you took such care to select those colors and designs. Thanks for sharing your snow pics.
