And a heads up on some quilting shows available for free for a short time:
Big news here! In honor of International Quilt Day (March 17, 2012), The Quilt Show (
www.thequiltshow.com), the web TV show hosted by Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims, will "open" all of its shows from the first nine series--that is, from show 100 through show 913--for the entire weekend of March 16 –18. This means that—for three special days—everyone will have the chance to view these 117 shows, featuring some of the quilting world’s leading artists, for FREE.
