Did you know that every season PANTONE evaluates the colors shown by fashion designers in their shows during New York Fashion Week? They then use the information to create the PANTONE Fashion Color Trend Report, where they highlight the top colors in fashion for the upcoming season. Will you be wearing any of these colors this fall, or perhaps using them in your quilts?

Watching the process of creating each episode of The Quilt Show is always magical! It literally takes a village... Producer, Gaffer, Camera Operator and everyone has more than one job! There are also many, many people behind the scenes who keep this merry-go-round spinning! It was such a joy to be a guest on one of the future episodes.

And, the location for the episode I was a guest was at the beautiful home of June Jaeger! The setting of June's home provided a wonderful backdrop.

In Between takes there was time to laugh and enjoy the process!

I hope you are enjoying all the episodes of The Quilt Show and invite all you friends over to watch and stitch together!!!

Stay tuned and travel along with us on Quilt Roadies.

You can learn more from Kathy in Show 1802: Fearless Quilting and Fabulous Results.

Sacred Places was on display in the Naturescape quilts category at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2018.
