Wordy Wednesday

Hello friends! There's a problem with Blogger right now and no images can be uploaded. Hence, part two of the shirring tutorial is delayed until further notice. But I will tell you things with my words instead!

Now seems like a good time to let you know that my TV debut is happening next week on PBS; Threads did a great post on it here. It's Sew Easy is set to premiere on June 30th.  My session is the first one of the first show!

If you don't see the show on your local PBS listings, you can contact them and ask them to include it in their programming. It would be much appreciated!

I'll be back (hopefully with pretty pictures) tomorrow.

  2. My local PBS station doesn't have your show in its lineup. Poop. I'm going to have to request it. Do you know if we'll be able to watch it on line on the PBS site?

  16. Try editing a post in HTML. That worked for me. I was having problems uploading pictures, but for some reason it worked just fine by doing it in the Edit HTML window. Hope that works!

  17. I have DirecTV and don't get a PBS station. I wonder if I could view the show later on their website.

  18. The PBS has a tier-system of program levels. (I live in Oregon and my ex works for them in Portland, OR. I know what I'm talking about.) Wealthy areas (Boston, San Francisco, etc.) get the top-tier programs. Out-of-the-way, poor areas - like Oregon - get what they get. It isn't the first rate programming. We get junk like reruns of The Lawrence Welk Show.
    PBS is a joke. They don't spread their brilliance to the poor areas, because we can't pay for it. Some PUBLIC Broadca$ting system! What I'm saying is, don't bother asking for shows like this if you live in a "down market" area. You won't get them.
