Tonight promises to be fun! Four of us "girls" who grew up on Hillcrest Ct in Livermore are having a reunion at my house. I was the youngest of the lot (not by much) - which means I was perhaps the most irritating of the group growing up. Guess who I am? Now the really cool thing is that I know for sure two of the gals who are coming are TQS members - and one isn't even a quilter!

Those of you in the USA, Heads Up! Ring the Bells! Spread the news to everyone you know!
The CBS News Sunday Morning program with Charles Osgood will be featuring a segment on quilting tentatively scheduled for Sunday, March 16, 2008. The confrmation of this air date won't be confirmed until mid-week next week but we want you to have as much heads up as possible. We will provide confirmation updates from CBS right here on The Daily Blog, but do watch for this program to air soon. Be sure to check your local listings for exact times.
CBS News Sunday Morning features beautifully produced, personal human interest profiles. We understand that a portion of the story will focus on Ricky, his quilting and his music. "I'm honored that I was selected for this profile," says Ricky, "but I'm more excited that quilting will take front stage on a national news program. I envision hundreds, if not thousands, of new quilting wannabes heading into quilt shops once this show airs". We at TQS urge everyone to immediatly send emails to guild members, friends and family and use any other means possible to spread the word about this upcoming program.
Here's what we know: The CBS production crew met up with Ricky at the International Quilt Festival in Houston last fall. Then the crew and CBS correspondent Seth Doane, came and spent some time in La Veta at the end of January to interview Ricky. Set your VCRs, DVRs, or whatever you have - this is a not-to-be-missed opportunity for quilters. It will put quilting on the national stage (U.S) for the first time in years.
Many of these profiles also are posted on the CBS news website - a great thing for our international TQS World Quilt Community members. However, the shows are not posted until after it airs in the US. We'll keep you updated.

Three quilters, from three countries (all of whom do portrait quilts) have arrived in La Veta to collaborate on a new quilt. Last year you may remember we blogged about their quilt - see The Daily Blog on October 18, 2007. I've decided it would be fun to give you a peek into their combinded created process and they are willing to share. Start by meeting them. They are nicknamed, The Three Sisters - Annette Hendricks, from USA, Gail Thomas from Canada, and Helen Godden from Australia.

When I think of a few years ago, I didn't even know what a podcast or ipod was! Now here we are just few years later and we are delivering to you full production TV shows and so much more via the internet! I truly believe that in the "off" year, had I not explored and played with the concept of podcasting, I would not be here today. All that said, because of my recent computer trauma, the podcasting came to an abrupt hault. But guess what?? I am back in the saddle. My most recent episode is up and running - Subject: Caring and Feeding of Fabric. To take a listen to The Quilt Connection go here.

My son went to school with a wonderful girl named Camie - they were good buds, in fact went to Sr. prom together. Because of their friendship - I became friends with Camie's Mom - Claire. Who, by the way is a quilter. Anyway, Camie recently moved WAAYYYY out in the country with her darling young family and the person they purchased the property from was a quilter. It seemed befitting that the quilt tops stayed with the property, so they were gifted to Camie. Yesterday Claire came over to show me the treasures..........and what to do, what to do (as they are unfinished). To say they are folk art in their nature and construction would be an understatement - but I have to tell you I LOVED them - so here is a peek at who and what was in my sewing room yesterday. Lucky Camie!
