quilting TV shows
#51
I watch several on Saturday mornings. Eleanor Burns is my favorite. Not only do I learn something just about every show, I think she's a hoot and she makes me laugh and it gets me going. I watch Fons and Porter but am not as excited about Mary. But I learn from them too, and I watch Sewing with Nancy. I like her show but if it doesn't have anything to do with quilting, I don't watch. I tape them all, then go through them later to see which ones I want to keep.

I like quilting shows and like that most are presented in a way, for me as a new one to quilting, I can understand. I think most are for beginners. I can relate to your comment because I have been there with workshops at my professional meetings.

I must say most of my viewing was some time ago but I just saw one who shall remain nameless and it was the same thing.
I have also seen Nancy Zeman, she seems to be OK.

Although I have a college degree I appreciate the slower pace. What a pity that their "host" skills are not up to their quilting skills. That said, I bear with it to try and learn something even if I do cringe at times. Perhaps it would be wise for these great quilters to do more than one type show. Beginner, mid-range, intermendiate. We would all have a chance to learn.

I remember the first time I saw Elenor Burns ( several years ago now) and thought at the time "I am 46, not 4 to 6. Puleeese!" But she has gotten more relaxed and does a better job of delivery. And I think she just chooses to be happy.
