taking pictures of Mellisa taking pictures

In every issue of Quick Quilts, we feature several patterns that include how-to photography. Our staff photographer, Mellisa Karlin Mahoney, takes tons of photos of our quilts, quilting paraphernalia, and editor hands demonstrating techniques. But we never get to publish photos of HER doing her thing. So, here she is, taking one of the shots you’ll see in the September issue of Quick Quilts, on its way to subscriber mailboxes and newsstands right now. The technique we were working on was machine button sewing, which will save you lots of time when making Land That I Love, a great patriotic lap size quilt. Hope you’ll enjoy the lesson, and the quilt!
