Does anyone know if there are any?
I also have Dish network(since Thanksgiving)and the only quilting shows I have found is "Fons and Porters Love of Quilting"on the BYUTV network channel 9403 at 10:00am and at 5:30pm :thumbup:
Thank you very much. I'll look for that!

I find more reality watching people at red lights and check out lines, lol. And, most people do not take the time/ interest in the world around them to notice it! Take the time to notice how people interact - its an eyeopener. When you do, you can go thru life in a much better mood - (I always take the time to watch the checkout person and how shes treated/dealing w/ people ahead of me, sometimes, by the time I get to her shes throwing my groceries all over the place. I say something like: gosh, you sure have a hard job, or seems like a long day already, something sincere and caring -people need to feel others care. The people in line, too. I often tell strangers I like something they have on, top, coat, hat whatever - but I sincerely do. Go thru life noticing as if you were going to be called to testify as a witness in a trial - Thats the "reality" in the real world) It also is very good for your quilting, your imagination is heightened and you get more creative for noticing details. share t
It DOES make a difference when you respond as you have. Bless you - keep those smiles flowing. :D

Oops, forgot what I was going to mention in regard to these so called reality shows. Many of the reality "stars, starlets" have started with sex/nude/etc showings. How sad and how sad that many viewers would not miss these shows for any reason.

I don't understand why they got so popular. Someone must be watching because that type of show has multiplied. There is just not much on TV any more that is worth my time.

My feeling is some people are living their lives thru these shows. When they talk about these shows it is like the are talking about their friends.

I have never seen any of them...just heard/read about them. I dont understand reality shows...I remember seeing one at a relatives house that was sickening. People eating/or putting faces into sickening things like raw meat or bugs. I think the shows that encourage meanness are awful and wish they would all go away.
