A 30 minute show sometimes just isn't enough time to cover much. Might I suggest you have series so you can get more in depth. I also think that getting the viewers involved is a good idea, asking for quilting tips or pictures of quilts. I like the idea that someone else had of a day set a side for beginners and advanced. What if you took a simple charm quilt and show how to make it more advanced by adding applique, fancy pieced borders, wavy borders. So on Monday you could show the construction of the beginner quilt and then as the week progressed so did the quilt and the level. At the end of every day the quilt is complete for that level. The next week charms could become nine patches, nine patches to D9P, irish chains with 9 patches, 9 patches with orange peels, nine patches with star points. Budget would be the big problem and someone to sew all the examples. I think too that offering up quilting resources that are cheap or free is also something that draws all of us in. Wish I lived in your area so I could watch the program.
