If you’ve ever wanted to be a fly on the wall in your favorite quilting celebrity’s home, here’s your chance.
A new Internet television show called “Quilt Out Loud!” is now airing on www.QNNtv.com. It debuted July 30 and requires an annual membership fee of $24.99.
This is not your typical how-to program, but a quilting lifestyle show with hosts Jodie Davis, president of the online Quilters News Network, and Mark Lipinski, creator and editor of Quilter’s Home magazine.
“We’ll walk in unannounced to celebrity quilters’ homes and surprise them,” says Lipinski, who is known for his contemporary and edgy magazine. “We’re going to see what they’re working on, how many UFOs (unfinished objects in quilters’ parlance) they have, what they’re having for dinner …
“It’s like kamikaze quilting,” he says with a laugh.

CICADADAYDREAM: WHIRLWIND
…The shoot was taking place at the Byrne Sewing Connection and even had a small audience of local quilting enthusiasts. We were supposed to be there for 12:15, we didn’t shoot until closer to 4. Mark Lipinski is an absolute HOOT. You get it from his magazine, but until you experience him in person, you just don’t see all the energy that is there. Jodie Davis (right of me, above) is his charming co-host. Michelle (standing behind me above) is the producer and director, who called me 3 times on Friday to ask me preliminary interview questions which I was excited about. Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Gail Kessler (pictured below with me and her Golden, Rosie) from Ladyfingers Studio and Marketing Director and Designer for Andover Fabrics, who was the other designer on the panel, and she was yin to my yang- she being very entrenched in the quilt fabric market and much more in the know of the business end (and now I see how much it’s like the garment industry in many ways), and me just flying by the seat of my pants….

MARK LIPINSKI CO-STARS IN A NEW TELEVISION SHOW FOR QUILTERS
I’m sure I’m not the only fan of Maark Lipinski’s Quilter’s Home magazine who’s been eagerly awaiting the day when Mark puts his act on the tube. His larger-than-life personality begs for another showcase and he’s got the producing chops, considering his previous career working on such popular network shows as Oprah and the View.
Well, that day has finally come. The new show, fittingly titled Quilt Out Loud! will be as unlike other quilting shows as Mark’s irreverent magazine is unlike the rest on the racks. Mark and his co-host, Jodie Davis, head of QNNtv.com and author of 30 quilt books, say the format will be fast, funny and full of surprises. And I mean that literally: they are going to show up, camers rolling, at the homes of unsuspecting quilters across the country. Yes, they will show quilts and demonstrate new tools on Quilt Out Loud! but they’ll also get into the lifestyle aspects of quilting just as the magazine does.
Like The Quilt Show, this new show will run only online, and like the show co-hosted by Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson, you’ll have to pay to watch. Some may flinch at the notion of subscribing to a tv show, but in case you haven’t noticed, most tv stopped being free awhile back. I’m afraid that’s the world we live in right now and personally, I think Mark and Jodie will be worth the price. (For the record: Ricky and Alex are too.)
Quilt Out Loud! will premiere in late summer but you can watch a preview teaser now at the new website, www.quiltoutloud.com <http://www.quiltoutloud.com/> . To subscribe to the show you can either join QNNtv.com for $24 (which also gives you access to a bunch of other quilt shows and a vast how-to video library) or, for a higher fee, you can join Quilters Club of America and get a bunch of extra goodies. (If they want me to list the goodies, they can buy an ad.)
