Have you heard about the new TV series focused on modern quilting, Fresh Quilting? If you do watch Fresh Quilting TV, I am excited to say that I was invited to be on the show! I taped my segments on Tuesday, and I will share when I get final details about when the segments will air later this fall (don’t worry, if your local PBS station does not carry Fresh Quilting, you can request that they do so, and I believe the segments will be on YouTube as well).
Fresh Quilting
I created a couple of fun projects that I am looking forward to sharing with you when the segments go on air!
Fresh Quilting
It was a really interesting process to evolve from teaching quilting classes to working to create teachable classes for TV. The entire staff and crew were exceptional and helped me feel at ease – I definitely was all nerves to start – but they skillfully helped me feel relaxed, comfortable, and confident.
Fresh Quilting Behind the Scenes
Beyond that, getting to see “behind the scenes” and have insight into what it takes to produce a show like Fresh Quilting was a lot of fun. They film enough segments to create 2-3 shows each day during taping, which also means that there are other industry professionals to interact with and get to know.
Fresh Quilting Behind the Scenes with Sheri from Whole Circle Studio
For instance, it was an absolute delight to get to meet Sheri from Whole Circle Studio in person for the first time, and I am so grateful that we were able to go through the experience together and be there to support one another. Quilters are such a kind, generous, and caring group of people.
Filming Series 200 of Fresh Quilting
As you can see in the image above, which is a Facebook post that Fresh Quilting announced on Facebook this week, the list of modern quilters who filmed this week for Series two is impressive. I am honored and grateful to the Modern Quilt Guild, Fresh Quilting, and KS Inc. Productions for this opportunity.
How very exciting! Hope I can catch it, somehow. I think with cable, I get PBS!
Oh, Congratulations for this event, and to be included is wonderful. I’m definitely going to find it on their Facebook page.
Congrats on being part of the show!! Knowing my PBS station, you will be slightly older by the time it airs by me. But I did catch a bit of one of the episodes online, and I’ll be sure to watch for yours. What a wonderful line-up of quilters. Some I know of, but some will be new to me. It’s all good, and I’m really glad that PBS has been so committed to quilting shows over the years. That was my main source of learning when I first started quilting.
Big Congrats!!! I do believe we should get this on our PBS, but I will definitely be checking.
How exciting! Looks like you have some great projects to share.
Wow! Congratulations!
This is so exciting! I think we get three different PBS stations in our area, so hopefully one of them will have it!
Congratulations on this wonderful achievement. I hope it does show on YouTube because our local PBS station seems more interested in cooking than creative arts!! What a wonderful experience for you.
That is so wonderful. I am very happy for you, congratulations. I’m across the pond so I won’t be able to see it but I’m cheering you on telepathically.
Wonderful news, congrats. Will to checking the PBS channel.
Congratulations! I will be checking our PBS channel to see if it’s showing. 🙂
Congratulations! That’s really exciting.
Woo hoo, congratulations!
I am so excited and proud of you, Yvonne! This is such a wonderful opportunity. Congratulations!!!
What a cool opportunity! Can’t wait to watch!
So happy for you. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area a large PBS market so I think we will have it in our area …. if I can find it I really enjoy watching and listening to sewing while stitching
Congratulations, what a brilliant opportunity! No PBS here of course, so it will have to be youtube for me.
omg! a quilt TV show ! We don’t have this in France!! I will see you on youtube!
That is SO cool, Yvonne! Congratulations on expanding into TV 😉 I look forward to seeing your tutorials later this fall!!
What a terrific opportunity! I can imagine it is such a different experience. I will look forward to finding this show and watching it.
How wonderful, Yvonne! What an amazing opportunity. And how lucky are all of us that will finally get to see you teach? 🙂 I can’t wait for it to air.
I am very excited for you Yvonne. I don’t know if my local PBS station carries this but as we donate to it…yes and T.V. ontario….I’ll ask.
My friend the tv star !
So happy for you Yvonne! And to think, I get to say I knew you from way back when! It’s fun to watch you stepping up into celebrity status
