Just got my J/F 2017 Love of Quilting magazine today. Here's the scoop: Near the back there is an article about Sara Gallegos, the new host of LOQ Show. Says both Fons and Porter are now retired, and Mary left the show to pursue a MFA in Creative Writing. Angela Huffman will do 4 shows, with Marianne Fons on 3 of them, while Sara is finishing up prior commitments. Says it will start airing in January 2017. Where, who knows? When I searched CreateTV for the program, nothing showed and it said to check back in a couple weeks.

I agree Doris -- I love Eleanor Burns because I can make a quilt from the directions and measurements she gives. Thanks, OnebyOne -- I was wondering what was going on because Marianne and this stranger were on today. Like the magazine, I guess the show will have the name but not the folks. We're all getting older.

I'm glad the show is continuing so I won't complain who the host will be. I've never notice the push for viewers to buy, no more then other quilt shows. Did you know on Simply Quilts the guest quilter had to pay to be on the show so they plugged their books and patterns heavily to make it worthwhile.

I watch it - it comes on Mon. And Fri. Create TV. I really like it, not always the same host. I can see from begining to end how to make a quilt. Nice customer sent in ideas at the end. Wish I new the names of the people. I really like the man and lady I see a lot. Will notice that better. I really enjoy that show. Others seem to hit this and that for maybe 5 to 8 mins. Then on to another tip. I like them too but not as much as staying on one pattern and idea.

Interesting how the love of quilting show is evolving.....but, unfortunately it's the only one in town.....there's one called quilting arts-too many things in that short 1/2 hr., sewing w Nancy, when she does quilting.....
yes, when it was Marianna and Liz, they would give measurements as they went along....now, all info is referenced to their website, and there one is referred to the book/ hard copy or digital for real info......I've also noticed that the cutting mat is flipped so you can't see inch lines........like everyone one else....selling their wares.

Have noticed for some time that they twll you what issue pattern and info is in, no sizes or other info. You have to buy mag. and that is not all that nice.

Well, it is a business. It costs them money to be on the air. Where is that money going to come from if not product sales? Nice or not, that's the reality of it.
