Did anyone know!

I live in a bit of a remote area. I was not able to get local TV stations for a very long time but recently I have changed the TV situation around a bit and just this morning I saw PBS. To my surprise there was a Fons & Porter quilting show! Yippie! I had no idea there was such a program. And not being a person to normally watch TV, never gave it a thought to check for such a program. You know what I will be doing every Saturday morning at 9:30 AM. :o)

That's cool. Was Fons & Porter on the PBS station?

Good news!! Since we are in the same state I might get the same schedule. There used to be a lot more sewing/quilting show on TV but the US seems to be more interested in cooking now a days. I searched and searched for something when I was off with my broken ankle to no avail. Had to settle for reruns of "Desperate Housewifes" ;)

The show I saw today had two ladies working on a baby quilt. Actually there were two more sewing show on that must have started about 8:AM.

These are the PBS quilting shows I know of:

America Quilts Creatively
Sewing with Nancy
Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting
Kaye's Quilting Friends
Martha's Sewing Room
Quilt in a Day
Quilting Arts
Linda's Longarm Quilting
Lap Quilting With Georgia Bonesteel

I'm sure there are others.

Hi, yes I catch it when I can, as well as 'sewing with Nancy' and 'sewing with sue hausman'...have not seen 'quilt in a day' recently, I don't know if I'm not watching at the right time or if my local PBS station moves things around.

Did you see yesterday's 'sue hausman' show? A gal was showing a quick and easy way to make T-shirt quilts using a gridded fusible/stabilizer. I didn't write down her name but will try to do a search to see if I can find the method and copy it down.

I enjoy the quilted arts program when it is shown ...is that the one with Pokey Bolton?

OH! Quiltpixie! Your a Doll! Thank you for the link. I am preparing to do a t-shirt quilt, I know I won't get it done for Christmas but... I have been a little reluctant to start it since I have not done one before. I'm sure this will be very helpful.
I am going to look up in the TV schedule listings when these shows are on. Watch*!~ they will more likely be on while I'm working.
