“Be Yourself Today!

March 6, 2014 by persimondreams 5 Comments

You’ll be great.  Love you.”

This was the wonderful note I had from my husband when I checked my email today.  It was a big day.  This was just what I needed to hear.

Today, I filmed with Nancy Zieman for the  “Nancy’s Corner” segment of her PBS show ‘Sewing with Nancy’.  It was a big day.

I was filling in for a last minute cancellation – which didn’t matter to me one bit.  I was going to be on ‘Sewing with Nancy’!!!!  What!?

She had me on to talk about Project QUILTING and how it’s a challenge that has inspired so many quilted pieces.  I wasn’t going to tell you what all happened in during the shoot so you’d have to watch the show in September – but, turns out the 5 and a half minutes are a complete blur to me – so I can’t anyway!  As soon as we were done shooting, I immediately said, “What, that was five minutes?  It felt like 1!”  We only did on take so I must have done okay.

It was wonderful to meet Nancy and all the other folks who help produce her show – all in all the experience was wonderful and I hope to be invited back someday.

Here are some pictures my friend Nicole took with her phone while we were there…

They put make-up on me to get me ‘HDTV’ ready…wonderful.

I’ll admit…I was nervous.

I always get caught with that face while I talk!

Okay – this is a much better shot.

Wrapping up.

After we finished taping Nicole made me pose by PBS things.

I’m a bit hyped up from the adrenaline rush!

Yeah for PBS!!!!!

Fun Fact…Sewing With Nancy has been airing since 1982 – the same year I was born!
