Boo makes her debut.  ;-)

As more blocks come in,I am updating THIS post with the names I've rcvd from... In couple days I will show you all the extra blocks that I will make into another quilt as well... It's good to have one on hand for giving!

Tomorrow(Wednesday), tune into Mark Lipinski's Creative Mojo! I'm heading over to Pickle Road to host with Mark, for Wednesday's show! Time to go see what's up with Mr. Mark, Did you hear he is FINALLY getting his Kidney! March 27th! YAY!

(I should do a video at pickle road, right?)  ;-)

Here's some of the quilts from the Magnolia Plantation to drool over!

 1825. 

This quilt is in the collection of the Magnolia Plantation. It is thought to have been made in NY. Quite beautiful. The top is quilt faded, but considering how old it is, it's in amazing condition!

These are some other quilts from around the house... These are period pieces not original quilts to the plantation... Interesting center pattern on this quilt...

The Quilt Show!

Today my episode on The Quilt Show airs! Last February, I was invited to be on The Quilt Show, with Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson, which was being taped on location at the Magnolia Plantation in Charleston, SC.  It was just after Quiltcon and all bit to much fun, to say the least!

I haven't watched this episode yet, myself, But you can pop over to see it here:

It was such a fun experience, (You can see the old posts here about the trip!) and it was so easy to work with everyone on staff. Great people, great fun a little bit like a fairy tale!  And, I am now writing for The Quilt Life Magazine as a modern contributor! The articles will start in the June issues,of this year!  

Well, I won't blather on here… Go see the show!

Hopefully I did OK…( I was so nervous!)  You will let me know, right? Be kind!

You will have to see the sow to see what this photo is all about!

Three days

I was home for two days then off to Charleston, SC! When I was asked to do The Quilt Show a while back, I was so excited that it would be on location somewhere I had never been! I have been all over this big country, but never to the south! Iw as all prepared for some warm weather.

cough cough!

It was FREEZING!!!! OH MY!

None of us were prepared for the cold there... we ended up wearing about 5 layers at a time as we didn't have our with coats with us either... You may have saw the small video posts I did from there... Man oh man, you could see our breath!  But none the less, we had an amazing time! when I say WE I mean, myself and Lyric, we were lucky enough to have both filmed on the same day,so we were able to have some  girl time to enjoy SC in our free time.  Coming down for breakfast each morning and having Alex, Ricky and the gang made for a fun moment or two!

The show will air sometime this year...When I know, I will let you guys know. ;-)

Thanks Ricky and Alex for a great time!

Alex decided one fo my quilts needed to go home with her... I couldn't be happier that that little quilt, inspired by the red and white quilt show will now live with her.  It's in my book too, on page 85.

You can always buy a SIGNED COPY OF MY BOOK at my website store. click here.

Good thing I had a lot of quilts with me... I slept under them as the room was cold... and sitting anywhere outside required a quilt while sitting under those beautiful dripping trees with spanish moss!

Tomorrow I'll show you a bunch of quilts we saw at the Magnolia Plantation.

CRAFTSY has many of the lectures FREE on their website from QuiltCon, did you know? Hop over and check it out!
