Demonstrating Rit Dye Application for Quilting Arts TV

Susan Brubaker Knapp and Linda Friedman in Quilting Arts TV Studio
Sometime ago Rit Dye saw one of my blog postings in which I demonstrated a technique that I use with their concentrated, liquid dye products and the company asked if I would to do a demonstration for Quilting Arts TV.  Earlier this week I flew to Ohio and a segment for the Quilting Arts TV Series 1400 was taped with the greatest host, Susan Brubaker Knapp.  If you have not already done so,check out Susan's website, Blue Moon River.  It will surely delight your senses. The Quilting Arts TV Series 1400 in which my segment is scheduled to appear will be released in July, 2014.  What a grand time it was.  The entire staff was not only superbly professional but their welcoming friendliness was heartwarming.

Speaking of "warming", the Ohio adventure presented this Southern California native with snow.  Unbelievable as it may seem, I've never experienced snow firsthand, so  this was quite a treat for me.  When I arrived at the hotel, a wind had brought in the beginnings of a snow flurry.  When one of the hotel managers found out that this was a first for me, she rushed me outside and took a picture.  Any who live in areas that regularly have snowfall, will surely laugh because falling snow is barely visible in the photo.  Still, I experienced falling snow and I was elated.  Now, I'm home and fully appreciating our idyllic weather here in Vista, California.
  
Snow?  Honest, it really was starting to snow :-)
I will post more photos of the taping as they become available.  Until then, never fear to experiment!

    1. It was totally fun, my lovely Helmi! During those old days at Childrens Hospital, who'd have ever thunk you and I would be where we are today? Ain't opportunity grand?!!! I'll never forget how you helped me with my first submission of art into the big world out there. Love you, Toots!

    1. I sure enjoyed meeting you, also, Catherine. My QATV adventure was great fun and, yes, I am nice and warm again. Still, I enjoyed experiencing snow for the first time in my life. Most of all, I enjoyed meeting so many bright, creative people. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to drop a note.

    1. This has been quite an adventure, Mia. Having the chance to see what goes on behind the scenes was really great. QATV has an extremely talented and professional staff and they are super nice folks, too. Seeing the snow was fun but I'm happy to be back in sunny So. Cal., even with her earthquakes.
