We went on some back road on the edge of town and found this cute little white building. We took a few there....
right next were these awesome grain bins. I'm not sure why I didn't have a quilt photo taken in front of these.
Then we went down the road a bit and found a red barn. LOVE the horses in the background of this shot. :)
While we were about to get set up for the previous photo, a guy pulled up in his truck and asked if we were having car trouble. We explained that we were taking photos and we loved the red barn. He told us that his neighbor had a good red barn just up the road. (Don't you just love that???) He told us to go over and check it out.
Oh, my goodness! It was just absolutely perfect! Their whole yard was super cute. This tree had a little branch that was just waiting to hold a quilt. I may have to go and visit them again. :)
I also took my apple cake quilt out and got some fabulous photos of that as well, but I need to get some detail shots before I post that one. They turned out so fun, I can hardly wait to share them with you!
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSounds and looks like a great photo shoot Amanda Jean! Great quilt that is new to me.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun afternoon - with some great shots! I have to get more adventurous with my photography and use something as a background besides my design wall - boring!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to get some quilt pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun !! And the quilts are beautiful

How lucky to have a partner in crime to do a photo shoot! I love your grain bins and am laughing at the helpful passerby. He gave a great tip and permission to travel that way as well. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis post made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteYou can take me red barn hunting the next time you need a hand.

ReplyDeleteSounds like you guys had a great time. It is a gorgeous quilt!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing all things quilty with us this year, I am truly inspired by your craftifness. Wishing you and your family a kind and gentle Christmas xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to have a quilt photo shoot they look great
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful pattern! I clicked the link to the mystery quilt and fell in love with the High Tide one even more! I admire your pattern writing skills. I am still sketching my quilts out on grid/lined paper. Will this one be in your new book????
ReplyDeletethe wuilt is beautiful and yes it makes semce to photo a bright cheery quilt in Dec when it is starting to get dreary and we need a little pick me up! (oh it would look AMAZING in the snow!!)
ReplyDeleteI have the perfect spot to take my next shot of a quilt too......but, like you, I will need a helper. Good thinking just driving around looking for great landscapes. I'm afraid I will be tromping through snow though by the time I get my next one done! LOL UGH!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun 'photo shoot' Love the quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt pictures so nice. The backrounds are perfect. I will be in line to buy that pattern!
ReplyDeleteLove it - I can't wait for the pattern! Great choices for background too
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a fun photo shoot! At least there is green grass there.. Here it is all brown..no snow, no green..just brown! I love the metal milk jug in the background of the picture of the quilt on the tree~
ReplyDeleteGreat location! You'll have to get to know them better. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the shots! Especially the horse one but the tree has to be my favourite! Round here I'd just be standing in front of someone's boring looking house!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! You live in nice surroundings!
ReplyDeleteYou always give me ideas. So inspiring!! Beautiful work. Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteFun stuff! Love these new photos and hearing about the photo shoot adventures. Excited about the prospect of you sharing more patterns from your designs.
ReplyDeleteNICE pictures. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely shots of your quilt! Looks like you live in a great place.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your generous spirit in sharing so much. I hope you have a lovely Christmas Day and a safe and happy New Year.

ReplyDeleteI recognize that quilt from Sew Hip magazine as the Mystery quilt they had in some early issues.
ReplyDeleteI made one! I have the top pieced and now need to finish it up the rest of the way.
Quilt photos are great and you can never go wrong with a red barn.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays.
I absolutely LOVE this quilt. So bright, colorful and cheery. My favorite type of quilt. I would love the details on it so I can make one myself one day.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you!
That quilt is pretty much the most perfect mix of colors I have ever seen.I love it so!
ReplyDeletei wasn't quilting (or blog reading) in 2009. i'm so happy to get a peek at this lovely quilt now. the colors are just splendid!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos! I'm relieved you took the Apple Cake quilt out on the photo shoot...it's simply too pretty NOT to be photographed near a pretty barn!
ReplyDeleteIt is always fun to read about your hunts for backgrounds. You make me appreciate my home more.
ReplyDeleteI am guessing you live in a suburb/city?
I am curious where those wire corn cribs are. My husband wants one beside his shop/barn for storing wood in. I keep looking for one to buy and move for him.
