I will have to check our PBS and see if we get it! She is on Wends, on one of the cable channels at 1:30, but I am always at work!

I love her shows-old or new.

I get her on the RFD channel on satalite. I saw that show and it was interesting.

Oh, thats right, RFD channel, its also on at 11:30 at night, but I can never stay up to watch it!

I've always thought if i did a quilt in sections, i'd have to add backing fabric in sections too. Hmmmmm.

I'm intrigued, that would be a lot faster...so she quilted the blocks and batting on the machine, sewed the fronts together, then added a back and quilted the borders and back together?? What keeps the back from being puffy? Did she tack anything?

Here in OKLA, our quilting and sewing shows are only on once a week and are at 8:00 and 8:30 on Sat. morning. When I visited my Mother (and this was in the 90's) they had a different quilter and their shows were on in the afternoon.

Yeah I didn't even think of that. With there being so many quilters I don't know why they can't have a quilt channel.
There are other sports channels and fishing channels. Everything but a quilty channel. :evil:

I wish our cable still had quilting shows. It seems they have to make room for more SPORTS and home buying/selling/repair.....yawn....
Anyway, I quilt in sections and then assemble them into the quilt. And I always add the backing before quilting each one. I don't know why she didn't.

I am currently quilting in the ditch round every block and triangle to attach the backing to the top. Since the blocks are only 4.5in finished, there isn't any puffiness, but I can see that there might be if you had 12in blocks.

We actually had several months of Eleanor's programmes on Satellite here, on the Rural TV channel, but it disappeared a few weeks ago, so that is the end of that. I did record the programmes that were broadcast, but there aren't going to be any more, Booo Hooo.

Oh Oh I just checked it out and spent 1/2 hour there watching a show and I see several more that I'll watch later.
Half of me thanks you...but the other "busy" half of me doesn't! :thumbup:
