I photograph my quilts as well. Photographing them is my way of keeping the quilts I’ve made even though I’ve given them away.

[@julias.8236]

Thank you for your great tips. And lovely quilts you have to show ❤

Thank you for the photo tips. Very helpful. Your quilts are lovely 😻

[@shellyculver4239]

I love photographing my quilts. For my gransugars, I had my husband take photos during the making of them & they’re each in their own little book that documents their Hunni making their quilts & the photos of me with them & the quilt I gave them. They’re certainly not heirlooms, but a good memory book for each + a quilt. Each has a label titled Hugs from Hunni. Thank you for your tips 🎉

Thanks for sharing

I can’t believe how many quilts you have made! I’m loving seeing them throughout this series. You truly inspire me. I’d love to know the names of the patterns though. 🤪

I take photos of my quilts as well! Thanks for the tips and pictures of your amazing quilts!

[@michaelandeileenkilloran8310]

Some great tips, thanks Emily. I always photograph my quilts but your tips on lighting and aiming at the middle of the quilt will be super helpful. I always try for a sunny day so this will make a big difference. Love seeing your other quilts as well. Thanks again.😊

Great video. Thank you. ❤😊

[@cindybaker7543]

I photograph my quilts too Emily. But I'm a Canon shooter lol. Beautiful quilts!!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@karin0963]

Beautiful and cute quilts!! I take pictures of mine too. You made great suggestions. I have a clothesline to hang mine from. My quilts are usually throw size.

[@Peach231231]

Good tips! Thank you!

[@ByHilaryJordan]

Great tips!

[@SewingWithLawayne]

I need to photograph my quilts as been awhile since I did and I some new quilts I want to remember.

[@Dranma51]

You have made so many beautiful quilts! Are most of them gifts or are more of them for charity?

[@terriblyrad]

Most of these ones in this set were gifts or samples for the shop I work at. I do make sure to photograph my charity ones as well, since many of them are from fabrics I've had for quite some time now 😊

[@sherihale3715]

I always enjoy watching your videos and love all of your quilts. In this video there is a beautiful blue and green with yellow quilt, shown in the last 50 seconds. I absolutely love it and would love to know what the pattern is.

[@terriblyrad]

That's Infinite from Villa Rosa Designs 😊

[@CopycatQuilter]

Do you have tips for greens especially? It seems that pictures of green quilts fail to capture the colors right. Thanks for sharing these tips!

[@terriblyrad]

Ugh greens are as tricky to photograph as they are to shop for! I tend to white balance off of something white or gray in the quilt, or if the quilt doesn't have either of those I'll try and balance it off of the background for a neutral to not sway in a weird off tone
