It’s been quite
a while since our last post. And there is so much happening since! A lot of
great things, I can tell you that :)
Let’s start
at the beginning. It was at the International Quit show in Houston, that John Anderson from The Quilt Show came to our
booth. In his hand he had our DVD, How to make a BeColourful quilt. Okay.. that’s
great, was our thought. He came to our booth with a question, a request.
He asked us
if it’s okay to have our DVD showing at the Quilt Show for 3 months. You can
imagine our reaction: we screamed and jelled and danced in our booth, high
fived each other, running down the aisles with our arms up in the air. No, that
was what we did in our heads.. Our mouth answered with all the right lines ;) Can you imagine how we feel? It is
such a great honor which the Quilt Show is given us! This is more than amazing!
And that
brings me to the next chapter. We thought it would be the easiest way for them to
copy the files by ripping the DVD. But when you do that, you lose some of the
resolution, and we don’t want that to happen. And that’s where I (Bridget) came
in. Because the DVD files are at my laptop and in HD, the people in charge at
the Quilt Show want to have those files. And there were a lot of files to
transfer.. Meanwhile it was mid-June, and we’re running out of time. Because
the first of July the DVD has to be online.. So I started uploading the files, via
Dropbox. But the files were that large, sometimes it took more than 8 hours for
one file to upload! Dropbox was way too slow. So I started We Transfer at the
same time. And with Dropbox and We Transfer it took about 5 days to transfer
all the HD files to the other side of the ocean. But we succeeded!
And it
worked out so very well. July 1th was the first episode online. A lot of
quilters bought the “Happiness” pattern to quilt along with the DVD. And I’ve
seen some results and they are so very pretty!
Well, this
is for now. There’s much more happening, I come back with more!
Love,
Bridget
