A Day at Keepsake Quilting on Quilt Out Loud!

Jodie Davis — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 14:46:00 GMT

What better place to be for Christmas than the place with the most goodies for quilters? Jodie and Mark are at Keepsake Quilting, America’s favorite quilt shop, located in Center Harbor, New Hampshire.

The shop is huge and boasts over 13,000 bolts of fabric and best of all, Christmas is up all year.

Deb Comeau gives Mark the five-cent tour showing all the fabrics, kits, notions, books plus gifts for sale. We see why Keepsake Quilting is a destination for quilters from around the country and the world!

New on Quilt Out Loud! Quiltspiration

Jodie Davis — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 17:05:00 GMT

Join Jodie and Mark at the famed Northside Café. Remember that scene in the Bridges of Madison County movie? Well, it’s not quite the same with our pair, though Mark is most definitely a stand in for Clint Eastwood.

Mark and Jodie share their “quiltspiration.” As designers, they find quilt ideas everywhere they go: sidewalks, the brickwork on buildings, even doorknobs. See the blocks they made from inspiration in their travels.

February Episode of Quilt Out Loud!

Jodie Davis — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 14:13:00 GMT

Segment 1

Jodie and Mark open the show from one of the famed bridges of Madison County in Winterset, Iowa. Yes, that Madison County! As in the book by Robert J. Waller and the movie starring Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. They sample a mid-west favorite, cheese curds, which these two Easterners have only heard about. They sound unappetizing, but are great, especially fried!

Segment 2

Next stop, Jethro’s BBQ (yes, that Jethro of Beverly Hills) to try Iowa’s own take on fried cheese. Mike Booth, chef at Jethro’s, shows Mark and Jodie how they prepare fried cheddar cheese blocks—a customer favorite!

Wait until you see what we have in store for the next two segments of the show!

The last two segments of the December show are up!

In Segment 5:

Michele Scott of The Pieceful Quilter joins Jodie at Byrne Sewing Connection in Doylestown, Pennsylvania to show a few of her appliqué quilts and then demonstrate how to use Aurifil wool thread to machine appliqué the flowers on her Sunflower Quilt from the Fall 2009 issue of Easy Quilts magazine. Find the kit for Michele’s Sunflower Quilt here.

Jodie and Mark review books so fresh that they aren’t even books yet! These titles will be released in January through March of 2010. All are published by That Patchwork Place.

To find the books and products shown on the show, go to Episode Notes.

Mark and I will be back in January coming to you from the midwest!

We're Sewing and Cooking on Quilt Out Loud!

Jodie Davis — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 14:59:00 GMT

Two new segments debut this week on Quilt Out Loud!

Segment 3: Stash Buster Holly Christmas Wreath

Join Mark in Sherry Cowley’s sewing room to make a cheerful stash buster Christmas wreath. Use fusibles, your sewing machine, and a glue gun to turn fabric scraps into holiday cheer. Mark shares the pattern for the Christmas version plus a bonus leaf pattern for fall.

Segment 4: Dueling Slow Cookers

Jodie and Mark (Child) cook up two great recipes that give you time to quilt. Prepare a meal in the morning, let it cook all day, and serve up a delicious home made meal to your family that evening. As a bonus, have leftovers for another meal-and even more sewing time! Mark prepares a pork roast with red cabbage, apples, and onions.

See the Episodes Notes for patterns and recipes.

Thanks to Patrick!

Our Quilt Market episode of Quilt Out Loud! is now up in its entirety on QNNtv.com. We will leave it up both as a complete show and in the three sets of two segments each. This way you can watch it all at once, or in smaller bites.

Thanks to Patrick Lose for jumping in and helping out with the hosting. It was really the first time he has been on camera. Not an easy feat!

Mark will be back for the next three episodes and then... and then... well you'll have to wait and see!
