quiltaholi_518 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 I have to say first that my husband usually NEVER listens to the numerous hints I drop starting sometime in November, and then the day or so before Christmas gets a puzzled look and says something like "I never know what to get you, you buy everything you really want for yourself (somewhat true)." But I have wanted a better camera for a long time, and this time HE LISTENED!!! I got the Olympus Evolt-410. SLR 10 MG with 2 lenses and a high def photo printer!!!!! Thanks Santa!! I was losing so much detail on my quilting, and when I would post online I would loose detail. So here is an example of a photo at about 2 feet away, and then a crop of the same photo. The detail is amazing!!! Thanks again Santa!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leslie Anne Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 The photo is great. Santa brought a really nice camera. I like the pattern you used. What is the name of it and the designer? Is it a CQ? Hope you can post a photo of the whole quilt. Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltaholi_518 Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 and the separate border Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramona-quilter Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Caron, Nice quilt and nice free-mo pattern. It has such a nice flow. Love that border. Is that border quilted like a 1-2-3 with the 3 being 4 bumps/petals and then an echo added later? Ok, how many other people had to look up warp and weft? Oh, and nice camera. 10Meg, what detail. I have a 7Meg. I love the resolution. Clear and crisp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeAnn Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Caron, Love your border! Do you draw a spine in or do it as you go? Looks like you echo when you are all done, is that right? Can you show a pic on how you turn the corner? Great design! It goes into my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltaholi_518 Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Okay, this should do it as far as a tutorial. As I suggest to my students, print it out and follow it with your fingers. Remember to PPP !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramona-quilter Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Oh, I do like that one. It will go in my favorites, too. Is it your invention? Do I need permission to use it or who do I give credit to for the design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
