Think how TV would change if we were the programmers.

I've had it brough to my attention that I misspelled "unite'?????????? Some people just don't get it. |

I love all of the ideas posted. Right now I'm gleefully envisioning the bloodshed (hopefully computer generated - can't mess up the fabric!!) when a professional organizer tries to get a quilter to reduce her stash o:))). Or even better when that person decides quilter's stashes don't constitute a hoard and is last seen wallowing in a pile of fabric. Not that I've ever wallowed (yeah right!!) but a friend of mine at a quilt show kept her fabric bags in bed with her so she could pet them at night. Oh my.

You'd meet the quilter(s), see the whole process of picking fabrics/patterns, etc - learn a little about them, and when it's finished, you'd also meet the recipient(s) and see their story, why they are getting the quilt, and so on. |
We could just show off our hobby to others and get them excited about it. After all, quilting is a hobby for many, not all, and machines are just tools that we use. Some of us just have a few more tools than others but that also applies to mechanics, do it yourselfers, etc. We would stress the hobby part and ignore other potentially dangerous words and/or phrases.

Love this thread but there is something missing. We need pictures of all these rooms that have all this fabric laying on shelves, chairs the floor etc.
|
I can relate to many of the things , here ....husband always shaking his head and asking "Have you found any treasures yet " as I clean my sewing room , the thing is he is always right I find something I forgot I had .
I just wish we had some sort of Quilting show here I Australia . I wouldn't waste my sewing time watching rubbish about , picking a husband from a line up or Real house wives from anywhere . |
Bring back Simply Quilts. That was such a good show.

How about "Quilt as Desired" where quilters discuss the best way to quilt different quilts. |
Does anyone remember Crafters Coast to Coast? I used to love looking in the background at the rooms/spaces the crafters worked in. If someone could sell the rescuing cats from trees* shows to a t.v. show, I'm sure someone could pitch a creative spaces show. All we need is someone's talented relative or friend who could pull this together.
*And really? People watch other people rescue cats from trees? No offense intended if any of you do, but I really wonder about some of the topics of these shows. |
What about Stash Swappers? Two quilters get to shop in each other's stash and make a quilt.
|
There was an Iron Quilter contest. It may have been online. I read about it but didn't see it.

Y'all are cracking me up in this thread!
Many good ideas are hatching here. Where are the TV execs when you need them? |

How about a race to finish with 2 or more LA quilters ready steady quilt.
|
How about "Quilter's Fabric Store Game" instead of Guy's Grocery Game, where the quilters have to make small projects and get judged, then eliminated, until one's left? Or how about a Quilter's version of Chopped where you get odd scraps and have to make something out of them, with judging and elimination each round?

Combine this idea with a "Cutthroat Kitchen" idea of sabotage and the money & I think it would sell as a tv show.

thrift sale flip into useable furniture for sewing room.
How many of us have done that. |

I like the "Survivors" idea, too. Lots of watchers for sure.

Show us your stash. Each week someone would take us in a tour of their sewing area and fabric stash. They could tell the stories of where they got the fabrics from and share their great deals. Each show they would pull an older or obsure fabric from their stash and if you have that same fabric you could win a prize
|
How about,"Now where did I put that?" - you all know the drill, I just had it a minute ago. All this could be followed with organizing methods.
Or maybe an episode or two called, "Making it Work". This would be geared after people that don't have a dedicated sewing room and how they handle having to keep things in different rooms etc. I hate reality shows but I think everyone's ideas could suck me right in. - too funny!! |
