>> HELLO, I'M DIANA SPRINGER
AT THE GREAT WISCONSIN QUILT
SHOW.
LIVE WITH INSIGHT INTO THE
SHOW AND SPLAR, AMAZING QUILT
EXISTS.
I'M WITH JENNIFER CHIAVERINI.
GREAT BEST SELLING AUTHOR.
HOW MANY PEOPLE KNOW YOU LIVE
IN MIDDLETON, WISCONSIN.
>> IT'S A WONDERFUL PLACE TO
BE WRITER AND A QUILTER.
THERE ARE SO MANY WONDERFUL
WAYS TO FIND INSPIRATION IN
BOTH OF THOSE SINGLES.
>> I'M SO GLAD YOU ARE BACK
T.V.ING AT THE GREAT WISCONSIN
QUILT SHOW.
YOU HAVE AN EVENING EVENT AND
A QUILT EXHIBIT.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR
PRESENTATIONS AND YOUR QUILTS.
>> WELL, I'M SO EXCITED TO BE
BACK LIVE IN-PERSON AT THE
GREAT.
FROM THE CROWDS AND EVERYTHING
I'M HEARING, EVERYONE ELSE IS
JUST AS EXCITED AS I AM.
I'M SO HAPPY I'VE BEEN INVITED
TO DO THREE DIFFERENT
PRESENTATIONS.
I'LL BE TALKING ABOUT MY
LATEST QUILT PATTERN BOOK,
HARRIET'S JOURNEY, DURING THE
DAY.
THEN IN THE EVENING, I'LL BE
DOING A SPECIAL PROGRAM ABOUT
MY NOVELS.
NOT ONLY MY MOST RECENT
RELEASE A HISTORICAL NORVEL
CALLED SWITCH BOARD SOLDIERS.
AND THEN MY SERIES WHICH
QUILTERS ARE FAMILIAR WITH.
NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THERE IS A
WONDERFUL DISPLAY HERE IN THE
GALLERY OF ALL KINDS OF QUILTS
INSPIRED BY THE ELM CREEK
NOVELS.
SOME OF THEM ARE MY WORK.
SOME ARE DESIGNED AND OTHER
PEOPLE MADE.
OTHERS ARE CREATED BY QUILTERS
FROM WISCONSIN AND AROUND THE
COUNTRY, AND AROUND THE WORLD.
SOME OF WHOM BEGAN THEIR
PARTICIPATION IN THESE QUILTS
RIGHT HERE AT THE QUILT SHOW.
>> IT'S AN AMAZING COLLECTION
OF QUILTS.
HAVE YOU SHOWN THE QUILTS
TOGETHER IN AN EXHIBIT BEFORE?
>> IT HAS BEEN MANY YEARS
SINCE ALL OF THESE QUILTS HAVE
BEEN DISPLAYED ALTOGETHER.
SOME OF THESE ARE SO NEW THAT,
YOU KNOW, I'VE TAKEN THEM ON
MY BOOK TOURS.
ALL OF THEM IN ONE PLACE IS A
VERY RARE THING.
I'M JUST THRILLED WITH THE WAY
THE GREAT WISCONSIN QUILT SHOW
HAS DISPLAYED THEM SO
BEAUTIFULLY, SO THAT READERS
WHO HAVE READ ABOUT THEM IN
THE STORIES CAN NOW COME AND
SEE THE QUILTS IN PERSON.
I'M HOPING THAT PAST ATTENDEES
OF THE QUILT SHOW WILL FIND
THEIR OWN BLOCKS IN SOME OF
THE GROUP QUILTS?
I'M SURE THEY ARE.
I CAN HEAR PEOPLE TALKING AS
THEY LOOK AT THE QUILTS.
THEY ARE REMEMBERING THE
READING OF YOUR BOOKS AND THE
STORY AND THE QUILTS JUST TIES
IT ALL TOGETHER.
IT'S AN INCREDIBLE -- AN
EXHIBIT TO TAKE IT ALL IN.
I APPRECIATE YOU SHARING YOUR
KNOWLEDGE WITH US AND YOUR
EXPERTISE WITH YOUR HO-TO.
YOU WRITE HOW-TO BOOKS AND
NOVELS.
YOU DO RESEARCH FOR
YOURNOVALS.NOV
YOU HAVE BEEN A PAST GUEST.
>> I'M SO HAPPY TO BE THERE,
TO CHAT WITH NANCY ABOUT THE
BOOKS, FIND OUT WHAT SHE
ENJOYED ABOUT THEM.
JUST TO BE ABLE TO SHARE THEM
WITH HER AUDIENCE.
IT WAS SO WONDERFUL TO HAVE
HER SUPPORT FOR THE SERIES.
AND I KNOW -- BECAUSE I STILL
HEAR FROM VIEWERS WHO ARE
STILL ENJOYING NANCY'S
EPISODES, SEWING WITH NANCY
EPISODES.
SOME PEOPLE ARE DISCOVERING MY
BOOKS THE FIRST TIME.
SO I OWE SO MUCH INSPIRATION
TO NANCY.
CERTAINLY A DEEP DEBT OF
GRATITUDE FOR THE SUPPORT SHE
HAS SHOWN MY WORK.
THE QUILT SHOW IS A WONDERFUL
LEGACY TO HER, AND IT'S JUST
SUCH A WONDERFUL CELEBRATION
OF THE FANTASTIC QUILT
TRADITIONS WE HAVE HERE IN
WISCONSIN.
