I've lost them too on our PBS station. Boo & hiss. What has happened to all the quilt shows that were on TV? We lost Simply Quilts, now F&P, the new books are getting fewer and the magazines are thinner and repeated patterns. What are we going to do? Sigh.

here in northern Michigan i get Fons and Porter on PBS on Monday's at 1:30; sewing with Nancy on wednesday's at 1:30 and America Sews with Sue on Saturday at 4...
i hope you can find them again, if not...contact your local pbs station and ask...sometimes if they hear from enough people they will put a show back on.

I used to watch (and donate) to my local PBS (Miami-Dade)- they had a great mix of evening programs - until the fund- raising got to be more frequent (almost as irritating as the commercials on cable). Moved to Palm Beach, lost a lot of my favorite programs; they show really great programs during fundraising and then they disappear when the fundraising is over. I have lost interest in PBS.

Hi, I live in the middle of the mitten and tape PBS shows every day. We have cable and I pick up Sue Hausman on monday, Quilting Arts on tues, Martha Sews on weds and Quilt in a Day on thurs at 11:30am On WDCQ channel out of Delta College. At 12:30pm I get Fons & Porter on mon, Sewing with Nancy on wed. . I get Fons again at 12:30pm on mon., Nacny on wed., from WCMU out of Mt Pleasant. Also tape a couple of painting programs You can get the current schedules online so you can be aware of the time changes. Right now our stations are doing fund raising so have missed some programs but know they will be back. This is the link I use PBS _ TV Schedules.htm?pbs_tvsm_sf_zip=48624&pbs_tvsm_sf_station=WCMU&pbs_tvsm_sf_tvdata_names=WCMU|WDCQ&pbs_tvsm_sf_transport=c&pbs_tvsm_sf_headend_id=310789 Good luck

Kaye Wood has an online show you can watch. http://www.kayewood.com/newsletter.html If you get on the newsletter from a lot of the celebs in quilting you can get their websites often with free patterns. Fons has a newsletter too and a web site to check out. Just type in their names on Google and you can find a lot of them.
