A Good Week

All things considered, it has been a very good week.

The Quilting Arts TV taping was a great experience and a real high point in my fledgling quilting career.  I had a good time with host, Pokey Bolton, and her entourage from the QA offices in Stow.  They all made us so relaxed and rhe episodes were taped without a hitch.


You'll have to keep an eye out for the 800 series of shows which will be available, I hear, in July.  My birds are featured,

as well as a table runner pattern

and Pet Futon,

I met two other fiber artists whose work I admire - Diane Doran and Judith Trager.

Jeanne Cook-Delpit, the Director of National Events from Bernina, gave me some great tips for using my sewing machine.  We all had a chance to play with the models she brought for the set and get used to the way they worked before we had to use them on camera.

I returned home to a family who was happy to see me (that is always nice) and a to-do list  about a mile long.

One more happy event?  I received my copy of the Winter SAQA Journal and my quilt, Marshview, is featured on page 4.

Yes, a very good week indeed.
