One Piece at a Time

Email Kerfuffle

I have always wanted to use the word kerfuffle and today I have a reason. For some strange reason my email for my blog is down and I have no idea what to do or any time to ask anyone. Hope to get it back up in the next few days but until then, if you are trying to contact me, I'm sorry.

Now I am off to film my last quilt along episdoe!

I should read my posts before publishing

I just read...and corrected...my last post. Yesh! All I can say is I hadn't had any coffee yet.

I can actually get a tan

Here is a funny story from our little video/photo shoot. We were setting up our set for some photography for an ad when Ashley (our fabulous photostylist) asked if I could take off my watch. You see I still wear a rather large and nerdy watch. So, I did and everyone was like "Whoa!" look at that tan line. So I had to borrow a nice watch to cover it up. I'm headed out today to buy a "proper" lady like watch for my filming tomorrow.

A little behind the scenes photoshoot...

Here I am with my "co-star" Valerie Uland. Valerie will be demonstrating machine applique techniques for our quilt along.

This is Ashley Briggs, part if the video crew and also expert on making sure we have eyebrows.

This is Brian Buss our video producer and all around awesome guy.

This is a shot of our setting getting ready.

Quilt Along Lesson 9-up and running

 

Hi friends. As I was busily preparing for out applique quilt along I thought you would like to see the last Accent on Amish video. Enjoy!

Quilt Along 3

So, the next few weeks my life is going to be consumed by the video taping of Quilt Along 3. I am really excited about being able to make these videos for you guys. We have a really great video team at work and I will be so happy to have these techniques professionally shot by people I admire. What you are seeing in these pictures are just a smattering of all the samples I am preparing for the video shoot. It's a ton of work but at least it is work that I truly love. In addition to this I need to help my kids get situated for the next school year as well as, you know, eat and sleep. So, I am signing off here until the end of the month. Enjoy!

Printing Jingle PDF's

Hello everyone. I have had a few e-mails about the size of the pieced block PDF's. I had to resize these images because they are really huge and some people were having trouble downloading them. The smaller ones print fine but when you try to print them make sure the "fit" or "fit to page" icon is clicked in your printer menu...that way they will print at the right size. Sorry for this bit of trickiness.
