Me on Simply Quilts

Sep 09, 2005 19 Replies

Back in January I was invited by my friend Anita Grossman Solomon (episode 1129 airing Ocboter 24) to watch her film her episode.



There were some difficulties involving a guest who unexpectedly cancelled. The producer of Anita's show was also the producer of the missing guest. That producer had also submitted an Ask Alex question that was to be filmed the next day. Needless to say, the producer had no time to film her Ask Alex segment since she was busy arranging for a replacement guest and writing that script to be filmed the next day.



Anita volunteered to another producer that I was coming and would be happy to help. I'd even be happy to film an Ask Alex if they needed it. Turned out they did. So, unprepared, I was coated in makeup and went on to Ask Alex the question originally submitted by Veronica, producer extraordinaire.



The episode with me asking Alex a question is scheduled to air next Monday, September 12.



I just hope I am not too goofy!



I talked to the other Ask Alex people over the two days I was there. The rest of them all submitted their own questions. I only say that so that you all don't think all the Ask Alex people are imposters like me.

What a thrill, Marcella. I loved the Anita Grossman Solomon episode I saw. When I e-mailed her and told her how I loved the technique, she told me she was happy to meet another Marcella Peek fan. !! Wasn't that nice. (I told her how I had got to see the episode). I'm sure you weren't goofy. Now, take a bow >g< . In message , Marcella Peek writes

Hey! I've been wanting to see you on that longarm show. None of the stations around here carry it, so you better let me watch the DVD!

Yes, I thought what a nice friend. And ... you could always wear a name tag!! Do you have your work on a website at all, Marcella? . In message , Marcella Peek writes

Cool, I'll watch for you. I automatically tape every Simply Quilts with the DVR.

But I've already met you! Won't I recognize you???

Uh-oh...I just checked my satellite schedule, and it says that Monday's show will be baby quilts -- no mention of Anita Grossman Solomon at all! Wahhhhhh!!!! :(

In addition to Tivo, every VCR is programmed! Between Nann and Marcella, I feel very humbled being in the company of greatness!

I'll be watching. Or better yet, I'll record it and watch it at my leisure!

Thanks Marcella. I've saved it and will enjoy a browse with my coffee, later on. . In message , Marcella Peek writes

I'm looking forward to it. I hope the DVR doesn't act up on Monday!

I'm on the baby quilt show doing the Ask Alex thing at the very end.

Anita is on October 24.

Two different shows.

With all the makeup they spackled on my, you might not. :-)

Thanks for clarifying this, Marcella! I'll be watching later in the morning (it comes on at 5:30 AM on my satellite ), and I'll try to see you through the spackled-on makeup! LOL!

I agree, Ragmop, Marcella is beautiful....but then hey, she is a tv star!

No, it's because I'm a member of this group. Everyone I have met from here and every picture I've seen posted shows beautiful quilters! Or, maybe it's just that quilters are beautiful?
