Annual Quilt Show 2008 & 4 of Kathys Quilts

Hi Everyone, ... Quilt Show 2008 ...

Since it was raining, our Annual Quilt Show in the Street was held inside the CD Hall this year. Kathy's two girls Lourie and Sherrie came up from Redding and went with us, so they got to visit a bit while checking out everything, as I was taking a lot of pictures. Kathy said she saw a lot of new Quilts this year, but we were told by Sue from Textile Traditions, that only about 50% of all the Quilts got shown because of the lack of room in the CD Hall. We did notice a lot of folded Quilts laying on folding tables all around the interior. We had a very good showing of people too, and I am very thankful for having a 'zoom' or 'telephoto' lens, as most of my shots were from a distance waiting for an opening to get my shots, eh!!

My camera was set to 'Auto' with the Flash up and ready to shoot and I noticed that all the coloring came out really great and natural, even if the flash did go off on every shot that I noticed. It kind of surprised some of the people, because I was standing so far away from then when I took most of my shots. To make it easier on me, I used my 'new' PhotoResizer to reduce all of the 'originals' down to 750 pixels wide and saved them with a 33% JPG compression, so they would load quickly and then made the slide show with JAlbum and the FotoPlayer scheme that I like. I also added a few comments too, but so far only Barbara Maness has mentioned that she evens reads or looks at the comments, so I may stop taking that extra time to do so in the future. So go check out Quilt Show 2008 and I hope you enjoy viewing all of the Quilts, eh!!

This year my Quilt Show 2008 is dedicated to my other 'sis' Karen and her hubby Charles, who couldn't come up to see this year's showing, because of Charles having knee surgery. Who BOTH are Quilters too!! So good luck and we're praying for you, guy. Maybe next year, eh!! '-))

Later, 'Viper'
