We have those quilting shows here on PBS, but what happend to the quilting and craft shows that the Home and Garden channel used to have?? The one with Alex was on everyday, but not anymore. And what happen to the craft Queen, she hasn't been on TV for ages?

And the thing with the clicker....I know how that is. My hubby has control when he is home. He watches the History Channel, the war channel, the History internation channel, the weapons channel ... it sounds like world war 2 when he watchs TV at night - until 8:00, then he has to go to the network channels or I won't stay in the family room, I go to my shop. I control the TV there! But I really don't mind because I get to stay out in my shop a little longer. AND if I really want to mess with him, all I have to do is change something on the remote control and he is lost! He is tech-challanged! He has come downstairs early to watch TV and if I hit the wrong button or something and the remote won't work, he will come and wake me up to fix it! So I don't do that if I want to sleep in on Saturdays. But it sure is fun to get even with him sometimes! HeHe!!

We, too, live in Wa. We also get Direct TV because Dish didn't offer what we both wanted. We get Fons & Porter, Creative Arts, Quilt in a Day and Sewing with Nancy. We used to also get Kaye Wood and a couple from Sue Hausman. We don't get those anymore. Do you suppose they went to Dish???lol Can you get a friend neighbor to record them for you?? Or send hubby to cook dinner while you watch YOUR shows. lol

I just found this week QNNtv.com (hope that's right) that has tons of quilt shows on line like Sewing with Nancy, Fons and Porter, Kay Wood and Quilt in a Day. It is approx $40 a year and you can watch them on your computer anytime you want. I really like it.

The system will search all the available programing for anything that matches your search selections. You can do the same search for the word sewing. You may have to repeat the search about every week as the new programing is loaded.

I just did this to get the instructions right... and it came up with Fons and Porter!! Woo woo

Thank you so much for posting these instructions!! I didn't know how to do that and I tried it and what do you know it found the Fons and Porter show is on EVERYDAY!!! So now I have my TVO set to record these shows so I can watch them at my convenience. I watched the first one last night and fell asleep half way thru so this morning tried again and watched it. Will have another one recording this evening again. Thanks so much. I like Eleanor Burns but she is on once a week. Now I have a quilting show I can watch everyday.
