I tried tuning in to Treasured Quilts of Wisconsin on Nov. 29 , at 7PM but this was not the programming for either channel 10 or 36. I went to my viewer guide and it wasn’t listed there but it is on your web page. So how do I find it? Did the fund drive, drive this program off the air?

I’m wondering when/if this program can be viewed on line. I live in Portland Oregon and attended the Quilt Expo a couple of times in Madison.

Will this program eventually be available online for those who love quilts but don’t live within the WPT viewing area?
