Where do you watch quilting shows on TV?
What channels? I would love to see some of the ones you all speak of!!!

Dolphyngyrl 04-09-2011 08:34 AM

They usually come on PBS public access stations, Not sure what your channels are but you can usually look up your stations online and see the TV show listings and whats on. Mine comes on saturday mornings at 8 but is different depending on when your station wants to air it and what time

TonnieLoree 04-09-2011 08:35 AM

I know they're out there, but I really don't watch them. PBS offers some. Wow, I really must broaden my horizons.

bj 04-09-2011 08:39 AM

PBS and BYU.

We have a tv station that is RFDTV. It is a rural station we get through satellite. they have various quilt shows at times. Not sure when tho.

Gizzy-Girl 04-09-2011 08:51 AM

PBS is the only one in my area. HGTV used to have some, but I don't get that channel anymore. My suggestion would be to go to TVGuide.com and put in your zip. Then do a listings search. You are able to go through specific channels, for up to 10 days I think. Good luck in your search.

debp33 04-09-2011 08:53 AM

PBS here, too.

amma 04-09-2011 09:09 AM

PBS here too and don't forget to check out the PBS Create channel too :D:D:D

RFD has Elenore Burns on Wednesday at 1:30pm & 11:pm Central Time & PBS has Fons & Porter, Sewing with Nancy & Martha's Sewing Room all on Saturday morning.

That is the station I watch Eleanor Burns.

Saturday afternoons here we have Fons and Porter and don't remember the name of the other one but it has that girl named Pokey or something. LOL Sorry memory not great right now. But they both are on PBS.

Stitchnripper 04-09-2011 06:17 PM

We now only get Sewing with Nancy which I enjoy even if she isn't quilting. But Eleanor Burns has her shows on her website, for free, so I watch them there.

cr12cats 04-09-2011 08:27 PM

don't get them here so watch different ones on the computer

I have Dish Network and I get Fons and Porter Love of Quilting on BYU, Sewing with Nancy on PBS, and Quilt in a Day on RFDTV. If there are others I haven't found them.

I have seen advertised a new show named "Sew Simple" - it features the gal who I guess is part of the Sew Simple magazine. It's advertised as a PBS show, but cannot find it in my area.

In MN we have Fons & Porter and Sewing with Nancy alternating at 7:00 a.m. I have found that even if I am not that interested in what they are making, oftentimes you can get a good hint or two from the shows.

And there is always youtube like someone else mentioned!

jitkaau 04-10-2011 05:11 AM

Can only get them on line in OZ. America Sews, Sewing with Nancy, Quilter's TV, Sew on TV , the Quilt Show- all very good.

romanojg 04-10-2011 05:17 AM

I live in Norfolk Va and we have COX cable. The only channel that I see any on is channel 109 Create..

adeliahartzog 04-10-2011 05:27 AM

PBS stations on Saturday mornings from 8 till 11 central time.

Johanna Fritz 04-10-2011 06:04 AM

The only quilting show we have in Milwaukee, WI is Quilting Arts on PBS. I watch The Quilt Show with Alex Anderson and Ricky Timms online. I also bought a one year subscription to the QNNtv.com for $25.00. That gives me access to hundres - maybe thousand - of shows including Fons and Porter, Eleanor Burns, EQ, Canadian quilt shows, Kaye Wood etc.

I think the D.C. area does not have any now. They used to but I sure can't find any. Anybody out there in the Metro area? Can you find any? PM me please. ♥♥

romanojg 04-10-2011 07:14 AM

You know what is sad. It used to be that you got a TV guide each month from the cable company or it came free in the newspaper. Now the cost of getting reception is sky high and you get nothing to let you know what is on all of those channels. BY the time you surf all of them the show is off.

I go on the guide during the commercials of the show I am watching....
that way, by the time the new show is ready to air, I am all ready to switch the channels........

might work for you also........just a thought.

BJ SewKkrazzy 04-10-2011 08:12 AM

I don't have tv service...so I watch anything I can find on youtube.com....if you go to googles.com...click on video...and type in your subject...you will most likely find a youtube done on it!!!

Aquarius 04-10-2011 09:09 AM

I finally found one last week, didn't even know it was on. It was Fons & Porter on channel 61, here in Ontario. I marked it on my calendar so I won't forget to watch it again this Wednesday. I hope it is on every week.

Thank you for sharing!

madamekelly 04-10-2011 12:50 PM

Our local and not so local, TV stations have stopped showing any quilt shows. I can only see them online now. I miss being in Northern WA for this reason, they had quilty shows on every Saturday from 8 am to 11:30! (Don't miss the bone chilling cold though, that ocean current is COLD!)

Fran Juern 04-10-2011 01:56 PM

The only one in my area is Eleanor Burns, Quilt in A Day. This was on RFD ( #365 on Direct TV). But for some reason she wasn't on this past week.

grammysharon 04-10-2011 01:56 PM

Ditto!

Marty K 04-10-2011 04:18 PM

Thanks everyone for all your help....I will check out using the computer and I'll check PBS....not all PBS stations are the same, so I hope I'll see some sewing....YOU ALL ARE THE BEST!!!!

patticriss 04-10-2011 05:51 PM

I also watch Kay Wood Tv online. She has some great shows. I would love to see the one with Pokey Bolton. Haven't found that one yet. I also get Fons and Porter and Eleanor Burns on RFDTV.

No more for us. Our PBS amd HGTV have cancelled all quilting shows.

SnowQuilt 04-10-2011 07:31 PM

PBS is the only network I can get any on, and it is usually on Sun. from about 11:00 - 2:30, there are some quilting shows and scrapbooking shows. I'm not home from Church when the first one comes on, so I record it. They use to come on on Sat., but not for a couple of years now.
