I agree Doris -- I love Eleanor Burns because I can make a quilt from the directions and measurements she gives. Thanks, OnebyOne -- I was wondering what was going on because Marianne and this stranger were on today. Like the magazine, I guess the show will have the name but not the folks. We're all getting older.

I'm glad the show is continuing so I won't complain who the host will be. I've never notice the push for viewers to buy, no more then other quilt shows. Did you know on Simply Quilts the guest quilter had to pay to be on the show so they plugged their books and patterns heavily to make it worthwhile.

I watch it - it comes on Mon. And Fri. Create TV. I really like it, not always the same host. I can see from begining to end how to make a quilt. Nice customer sent in ideas at the end. Wish I new the names of the people. I really like the man and lady I see a lot. Will notice that better. I really enjoy that show. Others seem to hit this and that for maybe 5 to 8 mins. Then on to another tip. I like them too but not as much as staying on one pattern and idea.

Interesting how the love of quilting show is evolving.....but, unfortunately it's the only one in town.....there's one called quilting arts-too many things in that short 1/2 hr., sewing w Nancy, when she does quilting.....
yes, when it was Marianna and Liz, they would give measurements as they went along....now, all info is referenced to their website, and there one is referred to the book/ hard copy or digital for real info......I've also noticed that the cutting mat is flipped so you can't see inch lines........like everyone one else....selling their wares. |

I too watch the F&P. What I dislike about all of the shows is that they don't give you any fabric measurements. It seems like they want to make more money from people buying their magazines or patterns.

You can go on youtube and subscribe to as many quilt sites as you want. You can watch as much as you want. Our create channel here shows a show several times a week. Not for me anymore.
