I have a Panasonic Lumix that I adore. It has a 30x optical zoom (opposed to a digital zoom like a phone) that takes great photos of birds and such and has a flip screen for taking selfies, not that I'm into selfie taking, with a 3 second timer so you can ready yourself also wi-Fi connectivity to post direct to Facebook etc. And all that in a compact camera!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10899292686129929509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893619710941204763.post-32595510093696113882018-03-18T23:52:16.536+00:002018-03-18T23:52:16.536+00:00Hi Kate, a new compact camera sounds very good.

Paige just bought a new little canon and really likes it (I tried it out at QuiltCon and it took really good pictures in not such good lighting conditions).Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15612686505076697159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893619710941204763.post-56525514154500863512018-03-18T11:55:45.037+00:002018-03-18T11:55:45.037+00:00I can recommend the Sony Cyber-Shot Exmor R point ...I can recommend the Sony Cyber-Shot Exmor R point and shoot. It's a 16.2 megapixel camera, so you get good resolution and ease of use. The white balance works really well This is my second Sony Cyber Shot. I wore out the first (well actually I dropped it one too many times, it still works, but the lens doesn't always deploy). I've done a couple of photo quilts. I've always just printed on fabric. I've used both Timeless Treasures and Electric Quilts fabric sheets for printing. Both have worked out really well, though I like EQs better from a feel standpoint. I usually use their premium cotton sheets. Looking forward to seeing what you make for the book hop.

That pigeon is lovely. I have been interested in creating quilts from photos but have never done so, other than printing on fabric like you mention.

It seems like everyone is taking extra time. Just relax and have fun with those great fabrics, and give them a hug from me. For the pigeon, why not take it to a copy center? Ours is called Kinko's. They can do any kind of copying you want and I imagine they can do onto fabric. It would save you time and hassle. The pigeon pic is too well done to have any reduction in quality for your Dad. I use only my iPad for my photos and my daughter uses her iPhone for all her professional work, and they work with computers so well. Lots of luck and happy St. Patrick's Day.PaulaB quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03850498636712774853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893619710941204763.post-77147805285071735612018-03-17T01:53:00.748+00:002018-03-17T01:53:00.748+00:00There are many different tutorials for transferrin...There are many different tutorials for transferring a photo onto fabric. Good luck! I’ve only ever transferred it onto iron on paper, then ironed it onto fabric, like you would for t shirt. That paper is kind of costly. I’ve read about ironing the fabric onto freezer paper, then feeding it through the printer. Glad your making progress on your quilt. Can’t wait for your day at the hop! Yes, it’s been fun! I have a Canon camera and love it. The Ranger has a little Panasonic that he uses for work and it’s pretty awesome. It would probably fit right in anshirr pocket, it’s that small. Hope you find something you like.

I would love to know what you select, and then later how you like it! Don't worry about Postcards - I just got some fabric in yesterday so I'm still cutting as well. I do have four rows put together but I enlarged it to a queen size.

Canon and Nikon seem to be the two brands for cameras. To be honest, I took a lot more pictures when I had that camera than I do now simply because it was so compact and convenient. I had it with me all the time.

You'll get there when it works out for you. The hop has been great fun and I have spent way too much time on the computer looking at everyone's projects. Off to get dressed and force myself to be productive!!! Enough computer time for me. :-)Bernie Kringelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00753481379287809548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893619710941204763.post-61478657922915161222018-03-16T15:53:22.474+00:002018-03-16T15:53:22.474+00:00Don't worry about your postcard quilt because ...Don't worry about your postcard quilt because I think now that we're at the point of sewing the rows together I may fall behind because the next few weeks are going to be busy for me. I'm hoping Sandra will give us three weeks instead of two. As for the camera, I'm happy with my iPhone, I just have problems coordinating quilt finishes with nice sunny weather. And indoor shots are another problem. I'll be interested to find out which camera you buy. Sorry I can't help you with your pillow project; I'm wondering if there is a paper pieced pattern of a pigeon available.
