The show is not the same - I was wondering if she was ill. Did Liz ever tell the viewers herself?? 'sure wish she could come back - even for a visit and answer all our questions.

PBS stations are different in each state. You can go on F&P Site and look up the PBS stations they are on. They even ask that you contact your local PBS and request F&P.
My PBS Station's are out of Huntington,WV and Athen's, Ohio.
Hope that has helped.
Oh!! if you have Direct TV, look for the PBS stations on there too. Good Luck

While on our bus trip, we talked to a woman from Winterset, Ia. that knows them personally. She told us that Fons and Porter sold out to Keepsake Quilting and Liz decided to retire. Keepsake Quilting has kept Mary Ann and her daughter to do the shows. I can't say that is what really happened, but this woman seemed to know the whole story. She is not a fan of Fons and Porter.

I live in Iowa too and have gone to the store in Winterset. Everyone loved Liz, but Mary Ann is rather difficult to deal with. I am sorry that this sounds demeaning, but it is a fact.

Never saw the show. Guess it doesn't air here.

I'd like to know why my one and only F&P purchase has been backordered for months. :0P

I miss her, but if she wants to retire and spend more time with the family I'm glad she can.

I think differnt PBS stations carry different programs.
I have 3 and none carry Fons and whoever. Simply Quilts isn't on any more. Her HGTV show was cancelled
