The photo on the left is after Sue, the makeup artist, had her way with me. She even put a little lift in my hair and a little makeup over the blotches on my neck and chest!
Photo on right is me with Susan Brubaker Knapp, the host of the show, just before the filming of my first segment. It was purely accidental that my blouse matched my backdrop garments and quilt!
It took me weeks to prepare my two segments due to the fact that I needed to show every step completed to a certain point. In making a 9″ x 11″ reverse appliqué quilt, I needed to make 5 completely embellished appliqués. A lot of extra work!
The filming itself was easy, as long as the sewing went well! I couldn’t get the self- threaded to work on my BERNINA – no ones fault but my nerves kicked in. Hard to make anything work when your hand is shaking.
All the women at KS Productions and all those from Quilting Arts magazine were wonderful and supportive. Nice to get to chat with them each a bit – super sweet and helpful no matter what question we asked about!
Hope you will all watch their 10th Season, 2000.
