did anyone else catch the Jenny Doan show tonight on PBS?
Saw a "Sewing with Jenny" show tonight on our local PBS and thinking it's a new series. She demo'ed and even easier baby fleece blanket, her hunter's star quilt, and her machine appliqued orange peel. They were doing a PBS fundraiser and for your donation to PBS you could get either a gift box with a simple baby quilt, rotary cutter, small mate, and mailing envelop to send back to MSQC for quilting. Or a boxed set of BLock books. Also telling about a one day quilt retreat, Not sure if it's on all PBS stations, because we are in the KC area and that would be her local PBS station, too. sure hoping it's a weekly show!

It's not on the PBS station in San Diego - what a bummer.
|
A friend of mine texted me and I recorded it. I've been to a guild meeting where she was a guest speaker and actually waited on her when I worked at my LQS. Great entertainment!

PBS is having a fund raiser on now. I'm sure I'll catch it, the fundraiser lasts for weeks. The box set of the baby quilt with all the tools and quilting is for sale on the website too. It's called Off the Couch. It's a great deal for $100.

Will have to look for that program on my local PBS station. I did notice the other day I went to you tube to find something "Quilty, and before the actual tute went on, there was an ad for MSQC. Also, received their catalog..I really don't remember ordering one, but anyway, my initial thought on this whole expansion of MSQC was a bit leery....balloons only take so much air, then they burst...not wishing bad luck, just caution.......

They really have expanded. As a side note, I ordered some fabric from them last week and have not received a shipping notice yet. Some online stores would have it delivered by now. Hope this is not a new trend for them. I was needing that fabric.

I think the $5 shipping on any order is the reason for slow mailings. They use the slowest possible shipping company. I do admire the spirit of the family. They all work and stick together to make something wonderful.

We never see quilting or knitting on our PBS station. Have written in and asked and they refuse.
|
Shame your local PBS does not carry quilting shows...in Alabama...we get them on Saturday...and I record them for viewing when I have time...we get NancyZ and Fons and Porter...we also get a lot of cooking shows on Saturday...great because regular channels have sports or junk...they usually start around 10:30 CST after the kiddie shows..

The only time I have ever had to deal with slow shipping in when I have also ordered yardage. That seems to slow it down quite a bunch. 20 days to get my last order. I don't mind. I generally just order daily deals with pre cuts. I have ordered at 5am and received ship notice by 6. I think they are a great company. Have seem many videos on the family business. I just keep liking them more and more. They seems to be a great family and are doing what they can to survive and thrive.

I believe the delay we are experiencing in their shipping is due to the Golden Star deal. I think they have been overwhelmed with orders. Folks ordering multiple times at orders just over the $25 instead of one large order. We will know if this is the case if they go back to their fast shipping after August 31st.

Not on our PBS here in the Charleston SC area. The fund raising had Nancy Zeiman on for an hour and a half.
|
I just did a search on TWC which includes 3 PBS station and nothing but Nancy came up with "sewing".
