Quilters and Quilt enthusiasts everywhere!

To Quilters and Quilt enthusiasts everywhere!

On Sunday, March 16, 2008, CBS News Sunday Morning put quilting in the national spotlight by airing a seven minute segment that profiled Ricky Tims and the International Quilt Festival in Houston, TX. This segment was presented in a very positive light and brought awareness to many who had no idea about the magnitude of today’s quilting industry.

If you missed it, the video of this entire segment is now posted on the CBS website or click here for the video “Quilts-for-sale.” .

I also encourage everyone to email CBS  (sundays@cbs.com) and thank them for the exposure. We encourage all industry professionals and all quilting consumers to view the video link and help spread the word. Please send this notice to your email list or to anyone who you think might be interested.

 This opportunity to capture new quilters will strengthen our industry. Let’s band together as a quilting community and make this video the number #1 video on the CBS website. That in itself will speak volumes in letting them know their efforts were appreciated. It is uncertain how long the video will be posted so act now.
