November Finish~

'Tis the season

of believin'..

and I believe I have my November Finish!

Charlie Brown was always a true believer.

He and his Christmas trees are special.

Maybe we need more people like him and Linus?

All of the fabrics in the top are from the Schultz line,

and for the back I was lucky to find

a Peanut's fabric for the back.

There was one fabric I ended up not using on the front so wanted

to include it on the back...

I watched to be sure everything and everyone was right-side up,

so imagine my surprise when I finished the

quilting and saw the edge.

I decided to leave it, because it just makes me laugh

every time I see it.
We will be glad to have a new quilt to hang up for the holidays.

Charlie and Linus would approve don't you think.....

November Photo Workshop~

Another lesson to improve my pictures.

Or attempt anyway ;-)

This month's assignment was using the White Balance Control

and adjusting it as needed...

First I went outside and used the auto everything.

My camera is so smart!

Then I started playing.  

I switched to Direct Sunlight since that is where I was.

A bit of a wipe-out at 1250 sec f/2.5 100 ISO

A little more visible at 125 sec

One more try at 250

 I then attempted a custom setting using a grey card 

included in my book..

I think the custom turned out better than using an auto correct in the computer 

after the shot.

 But I still need to practice...a lot.....

Check out others who are working on their pictures as well!

You can join in anytime.

The next assignment will be January!
