The Quilt Show with Alex Anderson & Ricky Tims
I've been keeping tabs on The Quilt Show which is going to be "broadcast" on the internet starting on April 2nd and I see that their membership is getting very, very close to 10,000 .... it's 9,984 as of this morning. I suppose that member #10,000 might get a free membership instead of having to pay $16.95. If any BBer wants to dash over and try to be member 10,000 and see if my guess is accurate this would be the morning to do it. LOL Then again perhaps you'd get a free fat quarter instead. :-) I'm just being silly and speculating that they'll make a fuss over the 10,000th member but they make lots of fusses, so why not?
In all seriousness, this certainly looks like it will be an interesting replacement for Alex's cancelled "Simply Quilts" that many of us used to watch on HGTV. If you have a high-speed internet connection this will make your quilting life a bit more interesting but if you are on dial-up it just won't work for you. You can check out this new adventure in TV over the internet by going to www.thequiltshow.com

Judy - I signed up pretty excited but I think the hype is wearing off. They seem to be more interested in the production of the show than about quilting. Perhaps once they start broadcasting they'll get back to some quilty topics. What do you think?

Judy, you are right that this month they are enthusiastic about including us in the "behind the scenes stuff" but I suspect that it's just their way of generating publicity for their show. They can't get good guests if they don't have a guaranteed audience and they can't have a good audience if they don't land top-rank teachers and guests. I for one would love to see Carol Doak's or Jinny Beyer's or Ruth McDonald's home studio and I assume that's the kind of person that they are hoping to lasso for their "Quilting Legends" series. I certainly am thinking this will be a lot better than some of the more modest shows we have seen on the old PBS series ....
