Barefoot Photo Shoot

What fun! At the invitation of QuiltFolk magazine, I showed up for a beach photo shoot, along with six other quilters and our respective bundles of quilts.

The first request was for us to show the photographer our quilts – IN THE PARKING LOT. Talk about a trunk show! It was almost comical.

They asked us to bring the chairs, too, as potential props.

And then, Carole Lyles Shaw showed up with her COLORFUL quilts. Eye candy everywhere!

Once we made it onto the sand most shoes were kicked off as the photographer got down to work. Although the temperature was perfect, the wind quickly dashed any hopes of a good hair day!

Regina’s husband, Michael, was great about taking lots of behind-the-scenes shots for us. Here I am with Jubiliation. (This is the photo which had the quilt waving the least!)

I’m hoping this next one doesn’t make it into the magazine. Both hairdos and quilts were out of control!

We had a great time socializing and “oohing” and “ahhing” over each person’s quilts.

Additional photos were taken with quilts staged on the chairs, boardwalk, etc. I’m looking forward to seeing which photos they use.
