Today was Day One of our next season’s taping of Quilting Arts (airing late January of next year), and it was an industrious day. Eight segments down, 31 to go!
Here I am with Penny McMorris (one of my favorite people) of Electric Quilt Company and a new acquaintance, AnneMarie Cheney, who started her local Modern Quilt Guild chapter in Columbus, OH.
AnneMarie brought her baby! Our first baby on the set! Oh, he was so adorable…I think we need an entire baby episode next season. Calling all babies with quilting mamas…
Heather Jones from the Cincinnati Modern Quilt Guild came to tape, too. Wait until you see her quilt!
Ellen Anne Eddy taped three segments today. If you only know her through her art and her books, you should meet her in person. She is absolutely hilarious. In this shot she is showing me how she stores her keys (and other things) on her person.
Not only is she extremely talented, but she is cute, too…
And when not on set, she could be found entertaining Sophie Rubin in the green room. (Sophie and her mother Luana from eQuilter.com came to tape today!) Here, Ellen and Sophie are free-motion quilting a little horse drawing.
Sophie with her free-motion stitched drawing. Sophie is growing up so quickly…
More from the taping tomorrow. I am in need of some food and a little sleep.
What fun! I adore that little Sophie!
Have a wonderful time taping Pokey… 🙂

I’m so glad you are doing Modern Quilting Segments. And the baby is adorable. And so is Sophie. And I love the expression on your face in that first picture with Ellen Ann.
Thank you for a wonderful experience Pokey! It was great to meet you. This quilting mama would love to come back again!
I’m so thrilled that you’re covering modern quilting this season! AnneMarie is an amazing quilter (not to mention one of my first quilting/blogging friends!), so I’m super excited to see the episode.
