A Day at Disneyland with "A Day at Disneyland"

My quilt, "A Day at Disneyland," actually spent the day at Disneyland! This is a quilt I finshed in fall 2015

The first picture was taken just inside the main gate.

Then I totally lucked out--Mickey was on Main Street! It was such fun taking a picture with him.

Later we ventured over to It's a Small World, which was still closed for Christmas decorations. But that also meant there were no people around.

We were close to Toon Town. It wasn't open yet either so it was nice to get a picture without a lot of people around.

Later in the afternoon, photographers were in front of the castle.

We took the last photo in Critter Country.

See Winnie the Pooh there on the right?

Janice was such a good sport to let me photograph this quilt all around Disneyland. It's still one of my all-time favorite quilts so this was a special opportunity. You can see more detail photos here.

Tale of Two Cities

I took one class at Quiltcon, a photography class taught by Kitty Wilkin and Michelle Bartholemew. It was a fabulous class--well organized, informative, packed with so much information--I learned so much. If you ever have a chance to take a class taught by them, sign up as soon as you can!!

I had brought along my Tale of Two Cities quilt, as Kitty was doing a lecture about making quilts to mark life moments, and this quilt was being included in her lecture (you can read about that at the end of this post). After class, we took it outside for a little photo session.

I had noticed this beautiful light fixture, with some of the paint that dripped down the side of the building. It was nearly the identical color to one of the fabrics in the quilt.

These two pictures were by far my favorites. I hope Kitty will send me the pictures she took. I would love to know what her experienced eyes focused on.

Quilt photography has become one of my favorite parts of quilting, and I hope 2018 sees me gaining more knowledge and experience in documenting the things I make.
