I have been watching the 2010 series with Mary and Maryann. I like Mary she is a beginner like me and gives some good advice. Maryann always was a chatterbox and Liz had to slow her down.
Like Mom, like daughter. My PBS station carried 3 episodes and now does no thave them. Bummer! Francesrose

Mary tends to say uhhu or mhhhh too much!! I agree it must be nerves. She is a good quilter to learn from. being from the Younger generation she is brings some fresh perspective on quilting.

I asked the same question when I was in Winterset, Iowa in July. The clerk told me Fons and Porter was sold and Liz had moved to Texas to be near her Grandchildren. Karen from Grant, Iowa

BYUTV (Channel 289 on Comcast), Fons & Porter is on at 5:30 on most days. I set my recorder.

I love their magazine, but I never liked the show enough to follow it.

For those who do not have quilting shows in your area, (like me), there is QuiltersTV.com online. You can watch a show by different quilters listed, and you can watch it any time you want. And it is free!! There is another site also, but I have forgotten the name. Maybe someone else knows the site. Anyway, when you really need a "quilt jolt", you can try there. I know Fons and Porter has their shows online on their website (for a fee). Hope that helps!
