Watching the 6-hour quilt marathon?
 
Anybody else watching the 6-hour quilt marathon today on CreateTV? The Wisconsin Quilt Expo in Madison, Fons and Porter, Nancy Zieman and more... wow! I missed the first couple of hours so will catch up when they rerun tonight.

Oh I forgot! Thanks for the reminder.

so far it doesn't look like six hours to me. but I will keep watching. so far it said Fons and porter but had something else. Fon's came on later. Instead I watched Quilt In A Day and then Sewing with Nancy on another PBS

What a surprise to find it this morning, I enjoyed it. Loved the stars by Fons and Porter.

Mine was only on for an hour or so - now it is a cooking show - Oh Well - maybe it will come back on later in the day.

No quilt shows on our PBS station here in Corpus Christi.

I don't believe I get the Create TV with TWC.

You are so lucky - our PBS doesn't show any sewing shows anymore.

QuiltnNan 02-20-2016 10:48 AM

Tartan 02-20-2016 10:55 AM

I saw Fons & Porter, It's sew easy and Sewing with Nancy. Missed the rest but I will see if it reruns tonight.

Looks like it runs again tomorrow (I think noon).
Thanks for mentioning this!

Create TV is a by channel of PBS, not PBS channel. Most tvs need the digital HD antenna to pick it up.

nativetexan 02-20-2016 05:07 PM

their six hour started at 4 pm my time. till 10 tonight.

That was my favorite portion of the marathon; too bad it's at the end. Liz Porter is such a treasure. I smiled at Mary Fons' comment about wanting to absorb all the advice she could from Liz. Marianne Fons and Liz Porter had such a great show. I enjoy watching Mary on the new show. She's a natural and seems like someone I'd like as a friend or neighbor.

I still prefer traditional to contemporary quilts. I think I'm going to buy that Hero's Tribute pattern by Liz... love those eight-point stars!

I could not find it using the remote. I went on Comcast's website, put in my address and got an alphabetical listing of channels for my area. It is Channel 266 for me. I did not even know I could get channels that high as I only pay for Basic Cable, but, I am watching it now.

I have watched a couple, but did record them. They are running the 6-hour quilt marathon again today, so I'm recording it again as a couple of the shows did not turn out well, as we get interference on that channel. The best of show quilt, with the unbelievable needle turn applique and quilting, I especially loved the unicorn in the front with a castle in the background, what a gorgeous quilt.

I keep forgetting to check that channel -- we have so many channels and I don't watch most of them and it is buried in the don't watch section.

MarleneC 02-21-2016 04:21 PM

I watched them yesterday and have re-watched a couple today.

mojo11 02-22-2016 07:24 AM

It was advertised on my PBS station but was not aired. Bummer!!!!

tlpa 02-22-2016 11:47 AM

I don't think I get that channel either :(

Here is information for Create TV for those of us in Arkansas http://www.aetn.org/viewers/channelinformation.
It does mention that Dish & DirecTV do not carry Create TV.
