Have you done this?

Have you ever given a quilt as a gift and then wanted it back to take a better picture. Back in December I made a quilt for a friend of mine. It was a rush to get it finished and delivered to her as she was probably going to have the baby earlier than expected. I took a picture of it with my cell phone and drove it to her house. Since then, I have realized that I should have taken those couple of extra minutes to get the camera out - LOL live and learn.

So, I mentioned to her a couple of weeks ago that I wasn't happy with the picture I had taken with my cell phone.

She tells me she had the baby's picture taken by a professional photographer with the quilt. I was so excited as I didn't realize until that point how much she loved the quilt. I got a wonderful picture of the quilt and the adorable baby. Then today, she brings the quilt to work for me to bring home so I can take a picture of it. What a blessing she is!

I wish I could remember the blogger that gave the advise of photographing quilts by her window on the chair. What a treasure! The picture is so much better than this


Doing a happy dance today and very grateful for wonderful friends that understand the importance of the little things :-)
