Saw “Old and Rusty” at the Denver National. It was stunning! Perfect size–it made a monumental statement. Thanks for sharing the companies who will print images so large.
I think you are on a roll!

Christa, thanks for the nice comments about my work. Definitely read up on your camera so that you are comfortable with how it works. The Photoshop Elements image on this page should click you through to Adobe get the rebate if you don’t already have the software.

If you do decide to send your images off to be printed on fabric, remember that the printing ink is often going to show up darker than you might expect (aka, “darks are darker”) I do adjust all the darker parts of my images to be slightly lighter so that they print the way I want them to.

I can’t wait to you see your upcoming work!

Hi Kathy!
I had the pleasure of meeting you today at the Quilt Fest in Denver- thanks so much for explaining how you did your beautiful antique truck photo quilt.
I have been reading here on your web site, reading my camera book and playing with the settings, and am researching stuff about Photoshop Elements for Mac- because I want to move in this direction too!
I LOVE to take photographs and am just now learning how a camera really works. We are taking a trip to Italy this summer and I am hoping my photos will be good enough for me to work and play with…
My photos and thread painting- which I have only just learned, but find fascinating- I can’t think of a more exciting combination for quilts!
I really appreciate your generosity in sharing what you do.

Christa
