New idea--humorous, not serious
 

Seems like on TV, there is one reality show after another. I told my hubby we need to come up with a quilty reality show...In Search of Fabric...Touring the Quilt Shops. He popped out with what I think would be a winner: Show Us Your Stash!

Any other ideas here?

I think this is a cool idea, when is it going to air?:p

I think they could combine a few with Hoarders !

and combine with Real Stories from the ER...

near drowning in fabric.

Lori S, a little too true to be funny!! :o

Linda in MO

That's one reality show that I would actually watch!

You may laugh at this - however there was a visiting ER Doc here, he quilts -- and has made a study of rotary blade injuries...you wouldn't believe some of his stories!

Have you been to my sewing room or what? Well it isnt quit that bad but getting close I am a very messey person when I am creating. I do however manage to keep my house picked up but sewing craft room is a big cluttered mess

That's because you're in the sewing room and not any other part of the house quilting. LOL!

Quilter's wills

Where and how we stash (hide) our stashes

I am loving the replies to this...

I'm thinking a show me your UFO show..... that would never run out of episodes!

I think it's a great idea. When do you/we start filming?

Forget Reality - I want a game show where we can win prizes�� fabric, notions, machines, storage, irons, lessons with Quilting personalities, fabric, gift cards to online fabric stores, tools, fabric- well you get the idea.

Quilters gone wild!!!

Oh, this IS a better idea!

I like the game show idea!! Find the thimble in a hay stack?? Musical chairs- but when music stops you sit at a machine and have to be sewing!!!

How about "Are you smarter than a quilter"

grand idea. my stash is out of control so maybe you could stop by and do some organizing for me.

All of the suggestions sound like fun. I am happy to see that I am not the only person who hates "reality" shows. It is just a way to get out of paying actors 3 million dollars an episode for some 20 minute sitcom. I would be more than willing to watch one based on quilting.

How about "Name that Pattern", but with a part of it missing....Or, my favorite.."find the missing piece of fabric"

I would definitely watch "Show Us Your Stash", but would be green with envy every episode. And I would also watch "Show Us Your UFO's" with envy. If "Are You Smarter Than a Quilter" concentrated on geometry and math questions, the Quilter would win every time.

Long time ago there was a show call "Queen for a Day". They would have several wives that were contestants. The idea was the host told the story of the guests lives. These were "sob stories" about their lives...how hard they worked, the pains and illnesses of the family, her dedication (subissiveness), etc. The stories were just heartbreaking and always a tear-jerker. The panel of judges would question the wives the based on their sob-story and their individual answers, the judges would award them with glorious prizes...washer and dryers (new in that era), vacuum cleaners, irons, fantastic household appliances to make their lives easier (! Give them a vacation from housework, not something to do more with!). anyway, I want "Quilter for a Day". My sob-story...my room is always a mess, my laundry and house work is building up, my quarter inch seam is illusive, etc. My "prizes"? A professional organizer to design my room. A world-win tour of fabulous quilt stores, a credit card with unlimited spending, the used of any kind of machine I wanted, first pick of every line of fabric before it hits the stores. You name your prize. I want it all!
I want to be contestant number one...I tearfully submit my sob-story for your consideration.

On Food Network is a program RESTAURANT: IMPOSSIBLE. A famous chef visits restaurant, tests the food and help, tells the owner what all is wrong then guts the restaurant and remodels it.

QUILT ROOM: IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!! I would love to get my room tutted, remodeled and put back together!

How about: Fabric Interventions ?

Strangled husbands who remind us we have too much already

NO! someone might take it seriously and de-stash for us

I hate, hate, hate the guy who hosts that show. If someone like him came into my fabric storage room, I'd have to kill him.

Sounds like a wonderful idea to me!!!!

You have peaked my curiosity...haven't seen the show...your last line kills me. Also, have always got a chuckle out of your signature quote.

I LOVE IT!!! Count me in!! I may need to see an episode on how to clean my house because since I've started quilting I don't clean!! I use to walk and that seems to not happen as much..

Quilt police (And how they get shot down!)
Quilter Master Chefs (Who can make the fastest, easiest, "decent' food in order to get back to the studio?)
Quilting Couponers (and the best internet sites for "Cheap S.E.X.) (Stash Enhancement eXperiences)

I would like to see one on studio makeovers on hgtv that would be cool if they can show you how to redo it low cost like room makeovers but just on craft room makeovers

There used to be a show on HGTV where they organized your room. Obviously those people were not crafters or quilters as the rooms ended up nice but everything that didn't fit got thrown away! I don't care for reality programs either - I either read or play here on the board while spending "quality" time with my hubby in front of the TV.

What would you do with this fabric?

This would be a good one for the investigation Discovery channel I watch!

Thimble Dynasty

Batting Wrestling

Night of the ripper

Pitch it to the major studio's. AND if they make a show YOU make money. That's how many of the new shows get started.
