I just received this email, and was encouraged to pass the word. I hope I remember to watch this, as I usually don't watch the 5:30 p.m. news!

Hi Everyone,

Please forward this on. We are scheduled to air on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams this Thurs Sept 22nd at 5:30. We will be towards the end of the show in the Making a Difference segment.

Sincerely
Linda Wieck

Hi, there,
You are tentatively scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 22, on the NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams. Show airs at 5:30 pm central time. Your segment would most likely come at the very end of the broadcast.
Tentatively…hope it becomes actual.
Best,
Patrice Patrice Fletcher, producer NBC News/Chicago bureau

I'm sorry.......Linda Wieck works with quilts to send to soldiers to thank them for their service. I'm assuming the topic will be the history of this, and how to make quilts for them ourselves. Just to get the word out......Here's a video from Sewing with Nancy..... http://video.wpt2.org/video/1539361255/

They pretty much always do that segment right at the end. I'll try to remember to watch for it.

I'm watching now. I told dh that I'm watching NBC news tonight because there's something to do with quilting on making a difference.

Hmmm...it wasn't about quilting. It's about funding college scholarships for the children of the killed chanook helicopter military. Did I miss it?

I'm disappointed too! But in the note from NBC News, it did say "tentatively". So, I guess it was shifted to another time....I'm sorry if I misled anyone, but the note said to pass the word....so I did.

I know, those tenative dates are so tricky. You'll find out at the last minute. I was just wondering if they had shown it yesterday or earlier.

You weren't misleading anyone. Keep us updated when you get the next email. I'll keep watching. :thumbup:

DaylilyDawn 09-22-2011 03:46 PM

I watched it also, no mention of quilting, maybe tomorrow it will air.

I'll let you know when I find out. Hopefully it'll be soon. From what was said on the Sewing with Nancy segment, the soldiers really use these quilts.

I agree also - you were misleading but giving the information you have been given. I will continue to watch and hopefully will catch the segment. Thanks for keeping us informed!
