Streaming Stars!

Testing my new camera has been delightful!  It takes some incredible photos.  I am learning about all the features and functions.  

I thought it would be cool to take some close ups of the "Curly Hair" Quilting on my Streaming Stars Quilt in the full sun. 

I am not sure if I have the settings correct, but it really made the quilting stand out.  I have also realized you can see so much more detail. Wow!

The camera even has a setting that takes better photos under the bright florescent lights in my quilting studio.

This is the back of the quilt.

 Look how big the stitches looks!

and a full view.

It measures 12" by 46".

My friend, Tisha designed the pattern.  The pattern is called Stars and Shadows. She taught it as a Mini Quilt Class at Quilts by Barb's Quilt Retreat 2 years ago.  I completed the quilt top at the retreat and I finally quilted it in November. I named mine - Streaming Stars.  

The sun wasn't shining on the wall hanging in next photos and it was hanging on the wall. It was a bright sunny day. What a difference in the way the quilting looks.

 You can barely see the quilting from this angle. 

I didn't crop out my kitchen in this photo, so you can see where I hung the wall hanging.

I entered the Streaming Stars Wall Hanging in the Weekly Themed Quilt Show at Quilting Gallery.

So back to the photos... with this new camera there will be a learning curve...Please bare with me, as I learn how to take new and improved photos! It takes me awhile to learn new things! 


Some have asked what kind of camera I got. My new camera is a Cannon Power Shot ELPH 300 HS.


Enjoy your weekend!
