You Are DPTV
It was disappointing when my craft shows were taken off another channel. I had already been recording Sewing With Nancy, so checked the program guide for PBS. What a great discovery! Now I record Needle Arts Studio, Michigan Magazine (Michigan is a beautiful state!), several Saturday afternoon programs and the Sunday morning scrapbooking program. These are now watched one or two programs at a time. Thanks for restoring the creativity outlet for our viewing pleasure! - Kathi Ingleby, Northville, MI
