At my monthly longarm guild meeting on Wednesday one of the gals came up to me and said, "Angela, I saw you on Fons & Porter this weekend with Marianne!" A wave of embarrassment came over me as I realized I must have missed my first episode as the host of Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting. In my defense, it aired on KET2 and I don't even get that channel. In fact, the last time I wanted to watch an episode of Fons & Porter on KET2, my guild and I had to go to a bar! Can you imagine what the bartenders must have thought? A group of 20-30 women walking into a bar at 11:30 in the morning and demanding they change the channel to KET2 so they can watch the quilting show! Angela Huffman and Marianne Fons on the set of Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting Lucky for me, I haven't totally missed my chance to watch the newest episodes of Fons & Porter! KET and KET2 have the upcoming schedule for Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting episodes listed here on their website. You can see me at the end of all the episodes of the 2900 series at the Tip Table with Marianne Fons. You'll also see me hosting 4 episodes, From Sea to Shining Sea, Freemotion and Threads with Karen McTavish, Red Between the Lines, Part 1, and Red Between the Lines, Part 2. The episodes I'm most looking forward to are Red Between the Lines, Parts 1 and 2. These were the first episodes I recorded as the host and I was super nervous! Just being on the set with all the lights and cameras pointing towards you is nerve wracking, but working with - and sewing in front of - Marianne really made those butterflies flutter in my stomach! Marianne was so kind and comforting. She has a way of welcoming you and treating you like an old friend that made the whole experience such a joy.
