agree with all your comments. hgtv has lost me. guess i am "old". lol. however, i understand that my kids and grandkids have different tastes just as i did from my parents. unfortunately it means that crafting, in general, and quilting specifically will die out if we can't get them back. too bad!
nolee - you might try online at QNN or youtube, and, of course, tutes here. they all have lots of great how-to's.
