May We Take Your Pledge, Please?


Mary and four others are off to Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, this morning for a road trip and working adventure. Mary says that perhaps it's a "Girls Gone Bad" trip in a rented minivan! On Saturday they will be in Madison taping a PBS pledge special for "Sewing with Nancy." The topic will be sweatshirts. Her four cohorts will be handling the phones for the pledges coming in while Mary will be the guest talking about the shirts with Nancy. The pledge special will be live in Wisconsin but will be taped to show at other stations in the United States. This means they will be able to watch themselved in December on PBS from Duluth.
"Sewing with Nancy" (above photo) is TV's longest-running sewing program. Nancy Zieman and her guest, our own WT Mary, share their love of the sewing arts and explore the latest ideas in the country's most popular crafts. Check out the link for Nancy's Notions on the right and for Mary's Productions.


We will be sure to share any travel adventures with our readers next week.

We will also be sure to let you know the program's number so that you can check your local PBS listings to see when it will be on in your area.
