Heritage Photo Shoot

Hello Everyone,

 

Day two of pictures from the photo shoot.  This time, Heritage takes center stage.

 

 

All of the following pictures were taken at Calaveras Big Trees State Park in Northern California. Just so you have some perspective on how large this tree is, the quilt measures 93" x 93".  No, the quilt is not levitating.  It is on a quilt stand, and through the power of the "retouch" button on my photo software, I can eliminate the stand.  The tricky part is getting the stand level in terrain that is anything but level.

 

 

There are many huge trees that have toppled over throughout the centuries.  You can see what's left of the root system from this tree.  While we were in the park, there was a crew from the California Department of Forestry felling diseased trees.  We heard life end for three trees on Thursday.  Sad but necessary.  We heard and felt the "timber".  It certainly rattled Mazey.

Please keep in mind that Mr. Joe and I are not professional photographers.  We take whatever lighting nature and the Almighty Lighting Director provides. We try to find interesting backdrops to showcase the quilt as well as the surroundings.

Another massive stump covered in moss.  This tree was taken down by man for profit.....criminal if you ask me.

This quilt is made totally from Macie's Journal fabrics by Judie Rothermel for Marcus Fabrics.

We will be kitting this quilt at In Between Stitches in the identical fabrics.  I will be teaching the Heritage class on Saturday, June 11th.

There was a bit of snow off in the distance.  I'm sure after the storm yesterday, the mountains are now covered with snow.  We drove back to the city in a torrential rainstorm.  What a difference a day makes when it comes to the weather.

I'm off to Cloth & Quilts in Turlock today to teach Grammy Squares.  I'm sure I will come home with some great pictures to show you.

Soon,
Lynn
