By the way...Where is Create TV? Is it on Dish??

Thanks a bunch.

Agree ... 5-10 years ago there was quite a bit to watch for quilting, sewing & crafts ... Simply Quilts, Carol Duval, Room by Room etc (Shari did realistic home decor sewing & some quilting)
Hard to believe there's so little prgramming, when Quilting is a $3+ BILLION DOLLAR industry, not to mention sewing and craft $$ !! Networks must think EVERYONE wants to see real estate, tacky remodeling or junking, auction & pawn shows 24/7. *I do like American Pickers, but the copycat shows are just silly. :roll:

I have Direct Televison and the program is on PBS at 4.00 pm.

Hmmmm...this is strange. I just used the search feature on DirecTV and see that Sewing with Nancy is on today at 1:30pm on PBS. She is doing a quilt series so I want to remember to watch that.

Fons & Porter is no longer listed...so I used the search term quilting and NOTHING came up in the search.

Eleanor Burns is listed on RFD...but the NEXT episode is on Wednesday, Oct. 19th. So her show must be on every other week here.

I rememeber back in the late 90s watching HGTV during the day...because my mother was living with us at the time and she would watch with me...there were so many neat crafting shows. Then Sewing with Nancy was on every afternoon and Eleanor Burns was on too.

I've come to the point where I watch no network TV except football and NASCAR. At night I watch TVLand or NICK at Nite. Hubby watches westerns, History Channel, Food Network, Travel Channel and sometimes Hallmark, A&E and old movies. You pay all of this money to have 300+ channels and we and a lot of other people who have DirecTV or cable are always saying...there is nothing on I want to watch.

BYU lost their distribution rights to Fons and Porter -- so they are no longer airing it.

The button for television/video has a great theater to watch Eleanor Burns shows. I love watching her block parties.
Just finished the First Ladies series, the book isnt out yet.
