Pie in the Sky top

Since we all love eye candy, DH and I try our best to take interesting photos of my tops and quilts.  Here are a few shots of how we get those photos.

In this photo, DH is telling me to shift the quilt top to the left because the right bottom is scrunched up:

Hmmm .... maybe I should tweak it a bit more to make sure it is straight.  We still have to rig up some kind of system so that the pole, that has the top clipped to, is not hanging down over the railing.  That is why it looks like the top outer border is smaller than the others.  Until we rig up something, this will have to do for now.

Now, once I'm happy with the way it looks, I climb up onto a step ladder to get that perfect shot.  If we didn't use the step ladder, the photo angle would be an uphill shot and it would not look right.  Miss Hank would really like to get in on the action, too.  I didn't realize that DH was snapping shots of me in action and once seeing all his photos, I thought that they would make an interesting post.  :o)

There you have it .... do you think it was worth all the work to get this photo?  For us, yes!  We enjoy doing it!

Pie in the Sky is a Kim Diehl pattern from her book Simple Graces.  If you have her book, you can see where my version differs from her pattern.

What can I say ... I'm very happy to have another top ready for quilting.  The number of tops are growing and growing and I will have to buckle down and really get working on them.
Have a great day!
