This week I took a car full of quilts, 18 to be exact, to my
publishing house. I have been working on a book idea for a few years but this
year I have been seriously applying pen to paper. This week was the appointment time to take
photographs of the quilts.
My friend Renelda, also a quilter, and my granddaughter went
with me to help. It is a 3 hour drive and we talked all the way; although my
granddaughter being a teenager did listen to her IPOD and slept much of the
way. We planned the trip to arrive early in the area so we could stop at some
quilt shops for the ‘Row by Row’ patterns at the shops.
The publishing house is always a treat to visit as it sits
on park like acreage in fact they call it a ‘book farm’. It has statues and
sculptures everywhere. There is always
something you haven’t seen before. With the summer sun shining on the pond my
granddaughter could walk the park to enjoy the sights while I met with my
editor.
After the short meeting we met with Morgan the photographer.
Morgan is a lovely young woman who was very knowledgeable in her profession. We
were able to take some wonderful photos in a minimum of time. The colors are
bright and the images are clear and sharp. The close up photos of the quilts
show the quilting stitches wonderfully. I have the CD of the photos already and
I am very pleased.
We made our return trip home satisfied with a job well done.
