July 2010 Episode

Segment 1: What’s Up?

Jodie launches the first episode of the second season from the Northcott Fabrics booth at InternationalQuilt Market in Minneapolis. Both the Photoshop diet and the in-the-flesh versions of Mark join her to open the show. Mark shows off his latest creation, his Chester Gardens fabric line. Mark turns a seriously amazing iron into steamy silliness as he and Art Garabedian introduce you to the latest introduction in Reliable Corporation’s lineup, the V50.

Segment 2: Author Rose Hughes And Her Woolies

That Patchwork Place author Rose Hughes shows Jodie how to use batting and wool to make her versatile and very cute “Woolies” which she uses to embellish her quilts and even turns them into jewelry. See how easy these little felted gems are to make!

Segment 5: Mark Makes Krumkake

Mark sneaks off to make traditional Krumkake cookies with his Scandinavian friends at the Ingebreton’s store in Minneapolis while Jodie is “at work” at International Quilt Market. In the next months’ show you will see a block that was inspired by the design of the Krumkake iron.

Krumkake Recipe
3 eggs
½ cup sugar
6-7 teaspoons butter
1 cup flour
Dash of Cardamom (optional)
3-4 tablespoons cold water
Beat eggs and sugar until fluffy.
Add melted butter, flour, water and cardamom if using.
