Thanks, I just checked my guide on DTV and it is listed for 2:30. I'm excited.

Lap Quilting with Georgia Bonesteel is another one.

Quilting Arts

Kaye's Quilting Friends

Martha Pullen has a show too, lots of heirloom, but also quilting too.

I watch all of these on my local PBS channels.

Thank-you Amma, you listed a couple that I was able to find on the internet :-) Just a few weeks ago I picked up 4 of Georgia Bonesteel lap quilting books at a thrift for 2.00 each.

this is a free on line magazine, I am sure alot of you already know about this one but I thought I would throw it out there for people that might not. I can flip through it rather quickly as its alot about traveling w/ some free patterns scattered through the magazine.

Martha's Sewing room by martha pullen and lap quilting all on our local PBS station

They are all repeats of shows that are very old. I have seen them repeated over and over again. Wish there were some new ones.

I also get Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting on NY21 (a public tv channel, Channel 21 on my DirecTV) Thursdays at 3 pm.

Are there any other shows we can look for? Please give all the information you have (network, channel on your tv, day & time).

It's true that you can watch some of these online at their websites.

Pokey Bolton has QUILTING ARTS. She does "art" quilts. Generally I'm no interested in her quilts per se, but she does show some wonderful techniques for fabric use. (also on my PBS station)

Thanks for the information. I will find her site and watch. You never know when you'll learn a new, old or better way to do something. Thanks from GA.

I've got Direct TV and most of the sewing shows are on my local PBS station. Actually, I get two PBS stations. I'm close enough to Kentucky that I get many of the shows on the local KET station, and then my local PBS that is WNIN

Oh we have the same discussion in our house too. When my contract is getting close to the end i find a reason to add to the contract or to change something so that way i have to sign another 2 yr contract.....sneaky yes but hubby just grins-he is pretty good natured, just gets mad when the NASCAR races don't show up from bad weather.

Oh please don't say that, just a hour ago we switched to the dish, and yes I can't seem to find any craft/sewing or other kind of my favorite shows.
Anyone who has dish please chime in...I will be having withdrawals.

I have Dish and Fons and Porter Love of Quilting, Sewing with Nancy and America Sews with Sue Hausmann come on it.
I have the basic package too.

Can you please share the channel numbers or how you went about finding the shows. I tried several different searchs & came up empty.

If you have Dish, Fons and Porter is on BYU TV and Quilt In a Day is on RFDTV.

Thank-you so much for replying. RFDTV is a pay channel we don't get..hmmm we choice the 69.99 pkg & all the numbers I tried for BYU don't work...not real thrilled w/ our choice to switch cable providors. Huge sign..guess I will be watching all my favorites on the computer.
