public tv is public-driven. if they don't get enough interest, they drop the shows. you have to make noise and write letters to get your shows back on. if you belong to a guild, have everyone write and phone. be a pest. make them realize that there are people who want those shows to continue. also, write and call sewing sponsors and ask them to sponsor quilting shows. in yiddish we say:
a bisseleh, a bisseleh, macht ah fulleh schisseleh.
a little, a little, makes a full pot. or, little by little you get what you want.
