Pink Panther in the Snow

 

There's something really cool about taking beauty shots of a quilt on fresh snow. This is the Pink Panther quilt.

It's hard to arrange a quilt because I don't want any footprints in the snow, so I have to toss the quilt and hope it lands OK.

It's also hard not to cast a shadow.

Overall I'm pleased with these. But my all time favorite shot of this quilt is the one below.

When I was taking the photo above, Millie wasn't in the room. Suddenly she jumped on the couch, and then walked from one end to the other. One of the things I have learned as an artist is to take advantage of anything that happens, so I took the picture as she walked by. I love the casualness of it.

Sheri, these triangles are twice as tall as they are wide, so yes they are elongated.

Pink Panther Done!

 

I finished the Pink Panther quilt. Here it is on the back of the couch with the pink flamingo pillows.

I've got at least one more bird (that I know of) flying my way, and then I'll get into the studio and work on putting that quilt together. In the meantime I have to write a quilt stories for Dragonfly Serenade and The Pink Panther. I also have to add the binding to the Allegretto quilt. And there's the whole Holiday season thing...

I visited Janet-Lee the other day and picked up two quilts, the Holiday Boxes,

which is quilted in a ribbons pattern called "Celebrate!"

I've made the binding (it's a WOW) and started sewing it onto the back of the quilt.
 

and the newly renamed "Deep Space"

which is quilted in a pattern called "Champagne Bubbles."

I left the Lady Snaps quilt with Janet Lee, and came home to make the backing for the Pink Panther quilt.

I'll bring that to be quilted next.
