Fons and Porter shows on directv channel 374 BYU at 5:30 pm
monday through friday.
Eleanor Burns on directv RFD 345 11:30 pm wednesday nights.

I was told by a woman from Winterset(that is where Liz and Mary Ann have their shop)that they had sold out to Keepsake Quilting and that Liz was moving to Texas. She had asked Liz if it bothered her to leave the show. She said if it bothers me I just look at my bank account from the sale and then I am okay with it. This woman said she knew them both very well. I don't know if this is true or not.

Both of them have been at this for many, many years. I would not be surprised if a retirement was happening. It was the way it happened that is bothersome. I just cannot believe that Liz Porter would have walked away for money or grandchildren or anything else without saying goodbye to her fans if things had been going well. They obviously were not.
I'm happy that she is happy...if that is the case.

With all this chatter about Liz Porter now you have my curiosity peaked. I was all content thinking she was happy down in Texas. Now I don't know what to believe. It does sound fiesable now that she left under unfavorable circumstances. I enjoyed watching their program and am not too thrilled with the new format, but I'm going to give it a chance. I hope we find out what really happened soon. Curiosity is getting the best of me.

I believe Liz is too much of a lady to engage in a public display. I don't think we'll ever see that and I don't personally want to. I do want to see better quality quilting shows. Liz was a wonderful teacher and I will miss her.
Whatever happend to Simply Quilts. I just loved that show. It was always interesting and very different from the other shows (some of which are a bit plodding for me).

I also miss Simply Quilts!! Anyone know where it went?

I saw one of the earlier programs this fall. They just said that she wanted to spend more time with grandkids.
Implied she was only getting out of the TV part of the business.

Their TV show used to be on at 9:00 am here and then it was suddenly moved to 2:30 pm. The 9 o'clock show was on at a good time for me but I hardly ever see it now. The few shows I was able to catch at the new time were repeats.

I don't mind the daughter - maybe they are trying to attract a younger audience - a new generation of quilters.

Simply Quilts went off the air a couple of years ago. You can find Alex Anderson hosting a new show these days online. Check it out: TheQuiltShow.com

Yes...sheis taking some time off to spend with her grandchildren. From what they said she will return.
