One of the advantages of attending a TQS Taping is that sometimes you can purchase the artist's work right there on the set. Such was the case with Tamara Leberer's work in Show 1901: Silk Fusion. Hosts and crew alike were fighting over her quilts. Both Alex and Mary Kay were victorious. Can you guess which one Alex bought and which one Mary Kay bought?

Tracy Bloom at KTLA.com recently reported:
"A brilliant new blue pigment that was discovered in a “happy accident” by an Oregon State University chemist recently has gained nationwide attention, and the color is expected to be available for commercial purchase at some point.
The pigment was discovered while OSU chemist Mas Subramanian and his team were experimenting with new materials for use in electronics applications, OSU reported in a news release from last year.
As part of the experiment, they mixed manganese oxide with other chemicals and put them in a furnace that reached nearly 2,000 degrees in temperature.
The result: a “near-perfect” blue pigment that will not fade, even in oil and water."
