I have a lot of C&G handwork samples on the go right now. Each day I think one will be finished and blog ready but it just isn't happening. I met my tutor, Catherine, for coffee in Vancouver while we were enroute to Parksville for Christmas. Her quilt, 'Sedna' was featured on the cover of Quilting Arts, Dec./Jan. We had a great chat, time flew, and I know I am in good hands.
I have been spending an inordinate amount of time on flickr. My resolution, as of Dec. 19th is to improve my picture taking skills. Step 1 is to actually take pictures rather than look at everyone else's. I try to post one a day on flickr. Each photo venture holds surprises! As with quilting I can see when something isn't working but I don't always see the problem or how to solve it. I have made lots of mental notes for future images. I just can't seem to remember to not shoot into the light! Step 2 will be to explore some camera settings.
I found this wonderful book at the second hand store in town $20!!). Gorgeous pictures and laden with information. 'Quilted Planet' by Celia Eddy, Octopus Publishing 2005.
