I’m just back from Austin, TX, where I taped an episode of “The Quilt Show!” Oh my, it was very exciting.
You’re probably familiar with the two hosts, Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims. Quilting royalty!
If you’re not familiar with “The Quilt Show” you’ll definitely want to check it out. It’s an online quilt show that you subscribe to. What’s great about it is the episodes live online forever, so you have access to an ABUNDANCE of shows.
This episode was shot on location at a luxury home. What’s funny is they ended up taping…wait for it…in the DRIVEWAY!
But, it was no ordinary driveway and the backdrop for the intro session was absolutely gorgeous.
And what about the demo segments? They were all shot in front of the garage! But again, not just any garage. It was a huge two story structure with beautiful wooden swinging doors.
Well, of course this WAS Texas, and it DOES get rather warm in the afternoons, so we had to deal with that. But, no one melted. I kept my fan handy all day and used it quite a bit. (That’s it in my hand, above.)
As I prepped for the fourth segment, I had my tea and fan handy, while I put Mary Kay to work mixing glue.
They wanted a photo of me in front of one of my quilts and selected Crotons. That made me happy, since it’s one of my favorite quilts AND it’s on the home page of my website.
Not a bad photo, I think. My sister served as my “stylist,” loaning me both the shirt and the earrings, and gifting me with the necklace. And my hair dresser came in on her day off to give me a timely haircut. Aren’t they the best?
No idea, yet, on when the episode will be available, but you KNOW I’ll be letting you know when it is!
A very fun adventure, for sure!
