We only get an hour of quilt shows on saturday mornings starting at 7am. PBS out of Dallas. I hate it as its hard to watch anything at 7am . Worst of all is its always the first programing changed when they do the special programing to get money to fund the station...Like I am going to donate money when they don't show my fav programs?

qnntv.com has some great quilting shows. I subscribed to the one year service and just love it. No more expensive than a magazine subscription and much more informative. You can watch it as often as you want, anytime you want.

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).
If you have a TIVO or DVR recorder you can just put the word "quilting" or "sewing" into the search area and those types of shows come up. Our PBS only covers Fons and Porter but I do get RFD TV with Eleanor Burns. It's fun to watch if your a former city slicker like I am. They have cattle auctions, Border Collie demo's, all kind of farm related events. I'll stick to the quilting ones.
It's true that you can watch some of these online at their websites.

DISH still has the RFDTV channel. It's Channel 231 in my area (central LA), too--and the same in AR and MO. This channel has a live cattle and/or horse auction running part of the time, so many don't realize they also have some very interesting programs concerning differnent parts of rural life. I'm a night owl, and they rerun Eleanor Byrne's show late at night, too.
PBS in my state (LA) offers Martha Pullen, Nancy, and Fons and Porter weekly (with late-night repeats). Each state's public TV schedule differs though. I donate to public TV and get their TV guide monthly (along with a great Louisiana magagine quarterly).
I agree with a poster above that the frequent fundraising drives by PBS-TV stations is irritating. I know they are hard pressed for money to fund their scheduling, esp. in today's economical crunch, but I'd donate more just to have the shows I pay/donate to see left alone. Those special shows they run during fund drives are even more expensive, and I'm not interested in seeing most of them--esp. those with some self-proclaimed guru telling me how to run my life.
