I remember hearing about this series coming to PBS, but lost track of it. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. I can't wait to see the series. It adds so much to this hobby of quilting when we see it put into a larger perspective -- tying our work to all those who went before and will come after.
I agree that we need more of this type of programming and should support the stations who provide it.

I agree that we need to let PBS know that we appreciate this program.
A couple of years ago, our Detroit Free Press canceled the weekly sewing column in the Sunday newspaper. I called to complain, and they explained that the columnist had retired and so they replaced it with another advice column -- like the two are interchangeable!
I told the editor I spoke with that if the SPORTS columnist had retired, they wouldn't eliminate the SPORTS section, and since we only got one measly column a week, it wasn't too much to ask.
I might add that we now have an occasional CRAFT article, and that's it.
I think that we as quilters are mostly ignored by the mainstream press. (Heck, even HGTV canceled Simply Quilts on us.) Thus, we need to show our appreciation when networks do come through.

Originally posted by ReetzbobeetzLooks like it will be a fascinating series - pity I don't live in America! Glad, however, to see that it can be bought on DVD - sad to see that it can only be bought in America at this time.
WHO KNOWS IF WE ASK MAYBE TQS WILL CARRY THE SERIES FOR THE OVER SEAS VIEWERS... IT WOULD NOT HURT TO ASK.Jenny in Oz

DVDs for North America are Code 1
DVDs for Europe are Code 2
DVDs for Australia are Code 4
if you have a CODE FREE DVD player you can watch all
there are also some uncoded DVDs out there - but most commercially available DVDs are coded
IMPORTANT: some DVD players (and especially those on PCs & Laptops) come unprogrammed and you can switch from one to the other - BUT: it only lets you switch 2 or 3 times and then you are STUCK ON THAT CODE FOREVER !!!!
unless you or a good friend is really good at doing stuff to PCs that most of us can't
here a link for wikipedia explaining the various codes and DVD player types and much much more...
and yes - most DVD players can be adjusted so they play any code - however - this can generally only be done by someone who knows HOW - and some (or probably most) of us unfortunately don't

i've been battling with the various region differences since i moved to switzerland in the mid eighties... first VHS and now DVD :roll:
