We do have very generous board members :D :D :D
Check out your PBS stations for quilting shows. In my area Saturday mornings they are on from 8am until 12:30. There are some on during the weekdays, too. Even the sewing shows are touching on quilting or techniques that work in quilting/piecing blocks. You should be able to visit your stations website and find the tv listings, too :wink:
Our library does not allow the magazines to be checked out, but I do enjoy looking through them, and I photocopy a pattern if it interests me. They do give the magazines away after being on the shelf for a year.
