The program, Quilts: Secrets Hidden in Fabric was shown on HGTV, July 26,
5:00 p.m. Eastern time/4:00 p.m. Central time. I hope you all enjoyed the entire program as much as I did. What fun to
explore the unanswered questions in quilts. I know my "moldy oldy" friends are going to give me a hard time because I always
tease them about studying those old quilts, and here I am doing the same thing. It was a special treat to meet my new cyber
friend, Frances Bergling, whose name appeared on one of the quilt blocks. We have been searching and researching these blocks
for nearly two years. I was pleased that High Noon Productions was able to tape a portion of the show with her. Didn't they
do a great job of incorporating the local history into each of the different stories included in the program? Great job, High
Noon Productions, Denver, CO. A special thanks to Chris Wheeler, who taped my segment, and Holly Johnson, who helped set
up this segment.
I'll post the information here if I learn of another scheduled showing of this special presentation on HGTV.
