Quilt Central

The monthly magazine sent out by our PBS station arrived today, and it lists
"Quilt Central" on Saturday afternoons at 3:30 (where Fons and Porter's Love
of Quilting has been airing). Has anybody seen Quilt Central yet in their
area? What's is like? I suppose I could look it up on the PBS site, but that
wouldn't be near as much fun as getting your feedback!

I quit watching it quite a while back.

I know some people love it, but for me, there was kind of a lack of focus.
They were doing some quilting, some piecing, some home dec, some crafting.
Plus the two hosts annoyed me. (Gosh, I sure sound cranky, don't I!) I much
preferred Fons and Porter -- even the shows I had seen 25 times already.

They show it here on a PBS station on Friday afternoons.I however,don't
watch it.One of the women (janie something)has such an annoying accent that
I can't stand .Plus,they never seem to be doing anything I'd do or theye're
working on a longarm(which I don't have).

DH and I have a long-standing joke about Saturday afternoons. About 2:30 I
tell him I'm going to the bedroom to "watch my programs" (the
sewing/quilting programs are on from 3 to 4:30). He gives me that look that
says, "Yeah, right." And I then turn on the TV, lay down on the bed, and
promptly fall asleep! Sounds like I won't miss anything if I continue to do
that!

Shelly,

I'll probably watch it at least once just to hear the accent! I appreciate
knowing your opinion -- that way, when I don't like it, I won't think it's
just me!

I dunno. Jane Donaldson's squeaky voice might just keep you awake! LOL

I figure if a show is about quilting I will find at least a few
minutes of enjoyment. The problem in Chicago is the station on which
it airs has very poor sound quality. I have to turn the sound level up
almost to the highest level and then there is static.

I agree that the individual programs do not have a focus. They could
do much better.

I do not have a long arm machine but enjoy learning what one can do so
I can hire those services. Not all long arm quilters are keeping up
with new ideas in their field. Some just continue to do the same old
thing. I like to find long arm quilters who take the time to learn.

I'll probably watch it -- just because I have this thing about having to
watch anything on television that involves quilting! Doesn't sound like it's
going to be a "must see," though.

Thanks for your feedback.

There was only one program they did that I kind of thought useful,
concerning the long arm and making feathers, I thought it would translate
to
my SM....but otherwise very commercial and scattered....also their website
is not evenly thinly veiled commercialism....not a hint about what was
discussed on the shows only an offer to buy videos.
