...and then I have been quilting up a storm and not only that but, oh wait. Hi. How you are? Long time no see. Sorry about that. Yeah. I was away for a lil bit there and for no good reason. Or maybe there were many reasons. I will slow down. I did get a flu a couple of weeks ago, and it hung on, clawing...

Brace yourselves! I think I'm about to set a world record in the Blogosphere for the number of photos in a single blog entry. I took nearly 250 shots at International Quilt Festival/Houston, but I cut the lot down to 49. (The ones I don’t post in this blog entry, I’ll put in the photo...

I've just returned home from Cleveland where we taped our next series of QA TV (airing end of December). This new season promises to be a strong one! Not only did we tape some fabulous segments at International Quilt Festival/Chicago this past April, but we had some rather talented guests joining...

But no one will get squashed. Arrow has been settling in quite nicely. He has taken to asking for the rag bed. This means that he circles me, asking for my lap and instead I take out the rag bin and encourage him to sleep near me, rather and on my lap. This is quite useful as the heat is a bit much right...

Arrow didn't want me to go to Long Beach, so he solved the problem by tucking himself into my luggage. Pretty lil guy. But went I did! Quilt Festival is new to me, it is like one big Partay, with the added benefit of gorgeous quilts, enthusiastic friends and the ability of being able to find most...

I love Mr. Rogers (present tense) Thought I might introduce you to my neighborhood. Here is some raw footage of my neighborhood. If you haven't been reading my other blog, every-single-day , you may not know that less than two months ago I moved from Flagstaff, Arizona back to the east coast to Brooklyn...

While we're working to prepare the final details for the covers of the "QATV" Series 400 DVDs, it's fun to reflect on the TV taping...now that we've been home for awhile. I can't believe that Pokey and I spent a whole week and a half traveling together - and we were still getting...

As promised, one final posting on the behind-the-scenes action from this latest taping of Quilting Arts TV! Below is the changing area in the green room, separated by a plywood wall. (At least we have the wall!) Anybody who set up their materials on this side of the room got a bit of a view if the person...

More images from our QA TV taping last week... Luana Rubin of eQuilter.com joined us this season! Here she is with our very own Helen Gregory and the Bernina 830. Pokey with Jay McCarroll just before his first segment taped. (I know this will come as a shock to many of you: Jay's segments are rather...

I have kept mum about this for months but I can finally rip the duct tape off of my mouth and spill the news: Bernina is now the sewing machine sponsor of Quilting Arts TV! I have been a fan of Bernina and their sewing machines since Day One of Quilting Arts when my husband and I walked by the Bernina...

I landed in Cleveland this morning and as the tires hit the tarmac, I thought of doing a reckless thing: of not going directly to the QA TV studio set to drop off my supplies and hang my clothes, but rather stopping somewhere I have wanted to go for nearly two decades. When I saw what rental car was...

Artist Alisa Burke poses with a fan. For those of you who didn't come to International Quilt Festival/Long Beach and Make It University!™ with Cloth Paper Scissors, we sure missed you! Some pictures for you… Surviving the Runway Luncheon (Thursday) The fun began when our Surviving the Runway Luncheon...

We returned from Chicago late Sunday night/ Monday morning, and three days later we’ve finally chiseled our tired, groggy selves off the floor. Thanks so much to everybody who joined us in Chicago last week. We were stunned by the sheer number of people interested in taking the workshops, and we’re eager...
