My PBS station does not have ANY quilt programs at all. Makes me reconsider my contribution next year.

I pruchased the dvds. Haven't watched them yet, (on this board tooo much)and haven't seen on PBS. Sounded good so I bought them. I need to watch them soon. Will post my opinion.

From what I can tell, this is not going to be on until September and not all PBS stations will be showing it. The snippets on this website are really good. I think I will buy the DVD set if it isn't shown on our PBS.

I bought and have received the DVD set. So far, I've only had time to watch the first three episodes and I have no regrets about the cost. It is well done - a class act for sure. Also, tons of information and really interesting stuff so far. I will be giving this some time at our group's functions too.

As to PBS, I have searched and searched and am not able to develop anything definitive either. Mostly, I got the DVDs as I don't think there's ever been a "series" of which I managed all episodes even with full scheduling information, so I just bought it as soon as I heard about it (after watching the snippets on their site).

I'd recommend it for sure.

I taped it to watch over and over. It was excellent. I just ordered 3 DVDs from PBS yesterday.

The special in September is going to air in KY on Sept 5. Can't wait!
