As a many time author, teacher and show host, I know the power of creativity in making a difference in people’s lives, and have been lucky to have had a career giving quilters the gift of making something. When I was asked to take over QNNtv, I thought long and hard. I knew it would be an upward struggle to create something so new that even the big thinkers with big backing hadn’t figured out how to pull off profitably.
My mission at QNNtv, and why I took up the challenge, is to spread the joy of making things; and in doing so, move the ball for the industry I love. I envision an Internet video channel as an industry-changing opportunity to reach many more people than traditional distribution channels had allowed previously—and with the reins in our hands.
Controlling our own airwaves gives us as an industry the ability to reach an unprecedented number of quilters and will-be quilters all over the world. QNNtv flings open the door to anyone who wishes to reach a passionately dedicated audience. And with the Internet, we have the opportunity to introduce and nurture would-be quilters in a scope never imaginable before.
As QNNtv has proven already, showing how sells products. Education is key to the growth in any how-to field. By creating a go-to place to learn about everything quilting, we magnetize the World Wide Web and make quilting its very own sticky web-within-a-web. That’s what QNNtv is.
With this tremendous platform on which to educate the world about quilting, viewers get endless hours of quilting programming and advertisers get a highly targeted and passionate audience who, since they are watching on the Internet, have immediate access to further information about and the ability to order products.
It has been my honor to focus my creative energy on QNNtv. I believe that with this educational platform we have the power to grow quilting and create a huge win-win for the industry, and above all, quilters. Under our new ownership the dream is becoming a reality. I look forward to spreading the joy of quilting and growing our industry.
