If you remember, Needle Arts Studio with Shay Pendray filmed our first embroidery session back in June. The episode is going to start airing in the next few weeks at a few stations around the country. The episode is #1710. The first airing that I tracked down was in the KPBT PBS viewing area (Midland, Texas) on December 23rd at 2:30pm. For those of you reading the blog with access to this area, please watch and tell us if we look fat.  

Ok, seriously let us know how the episode plays out.  Or even better, maybe someone with a VCR will send us a Christmas present.   

We will be trying to find a more efficient way to determine when this episode will air on the over 230 stations that Needle Arts Studio plays. Currently there doesn’t seem to be a good way to search on PBS or the Needle Arts website for episode and station. You can check your own PBS station or Cable provider to see if the next two weeks of episodes are listed.

There is also this funky website which seems to be for TV statistic researchers.

On the lower right, the stations that carry the programs and regions are shown. On the left, the "Most Recent Episode" column displays the episodes playing in the current two weeks. If you click on "Most Recent Episode" you will be taken to a eye-blurring table of episode number, station, region and date/time. So you can search for your area, especially if you didn’t think it was shown in your area. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find a better way to search. 

The news for those of us in the Boston area is that WGBH CREATE is showing the series. News to me! It seems to be about a 1/2 season behind. It shows at 4:30am and 10:30am on some Fridays, Saturdays, and Mondays.
