Sometimes a close-up will fulfill the objective better than a full shot, and vice versa. As for your two works here - I'm so glad you shared the full and close-ups! Both quilts are gorgeous!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364409485592210668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-43520081411706054872011-01-25T15:53:19.516-05:002011-01-25T15:53:19.516-05:00I think we're all in agreement that we'd l...I think we're all in agreement that we'd like to see more, more, more -- not just the detail but the full quilt, not just the full quilt but three more quilts, not just the quilts but the artist, not just the artist but her studio. What we're up against, though, are constraints of time (and the potential boredom of viewers who aren't as passionate about the subject as we are). <br /><br />Thanks so much for your comments; I have forwarded them to the one in charge!kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-8244242448563498092011-01-25T14:09:03.025-05:002011-01-25T14:09:03.025-05:00I would definately want to see both.I would definately want to see both.Linda Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05132427629880789268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-3549029243253585862011-01-25T13:42:51.510-05:002011-01-25T13:42:51.510-05:00The "whole" gives meaning to the "p...The "whole" gives meaning to the "part".Sandy Ciolinonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-65622916245441250952011-01-25T08:00:46.218-05:002011-01-25T08:00:46.218-05:00I agree with you.

Then they can go and see more by following the links to the website.<br /><br />I don't think it matters how the quilts are shown - full or detail. What matters is the whole project. Any number of people would probably have done any number of things differently. But she has done it the way she thought was best.<br /><br />I think she needs to be encouraged to stick with her own original focus and not let others ideas of what the project should be change her mind. I think anyone who wants her to do it different can be given the suggestion to go away and put together a project which the sort of focus they feel is necessary.<br /><br />I hope the response doesn't give her a bad taste for her excellent work in the project.<br />Sandy in the UK<br />Do pass on my comments to her if you wish.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-59994699354062024332011-01-25T07:49:00.438-05:002011-01-25T07:49:00.438-05:00Personally, I agree both full picture and a detail...Personally, I agree both full picture and a detail shot, which doesn't have to very big, just enough to see some of the techniques and work involved in making said quilt. As long as she acknowledges the makers and designers somewhere - even directing you to the blog would be OK with me. You said she has them in the credits - that's good, means there is two acknowledgements.Joy Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18370241122283127366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-17243964936363786992011-01-25T07:24:49.382-05:002011-01-25T07:24:49.382-05:00your quilts are fantastic, would love to see them ...your quilts are fantastic, would love to see them in person!fabriquefantastiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12455177942688723902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588118538433483895.post-81316074863352765102011-01-25T06:24:31.814-05:002011-01-25T06:24:31.814-05:00I really think both full picture and detail are ne...I really think both full picture and detail are needed. For your quilts in particular - when I look at them, the full view is so impactful - it shows a tremedous number of pieces, vibrant color that seems to acutally flow. and then the detail shot kicks that impact up a notch - the level of effort to create the piece becomes more clearly apparent. I think this is true for most quilts. Barb Stewart, Cincinnati, OhioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
