Crafting appears to have gone the way of all the jewellery shows, on the back burner and out of the door ! Perhaps qvc cant get the big deals anymore - everything is cheaper on IW anyway (haven't seen Dawny on there either ), and dont get me started on the gold jewellery prices - yes we ALL know that gold has shot through the roof, SO ? where is the great QVC buying power they keep harping on about ?
 
If QVC are taking crafters seriously then they should listen to what crafters want! Its like they just don't care and are going ahead doing their own thing which in my opinion is the wrong way.

What is the point of now hidding the 'craft' section under home & leisure, that is NOT the place people would look for it. It needs to have its own heading, on the first page of the website as it always has done in the past. What is going on? Are they taking any notice of all the comments made on here and Craft Telly, which always makes very intersting reading. Its like as soon as there is a comment about what people like and don't like they go and do the complete opposite!!!! Not good business sense. :sad:

What do I want? I want good shows with professional crafting guests who can inspire and excite us back to a hobby some of us used to love. I want to see new and innovative products, not things THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS :sleepy:, with techniques, and lots of cards made up with the kits that I can see how the kits can be used. I am fed up with reading how much us crafters want to see good demonstrations during the shows and also how we do not know when the shows are on. How can QVC expect us to know when to watch when the shows are all over the place? The formula is quite simple so why can't they deliver? :angry:

I don't mind paying a bit more on the p+p because I like the call centre being in the uk and the fast delivery but, recently there has been nothing I have wanted to buy. Also, why aren't all the basic items that we as crafters need like a choice of adhesives and good quality card always in stock?

Phew, I know... I should go and join Craft Telly Forum.....

London we're waiting on CT.com for you!
 
The offerings have been meagre lately, though since I'm a scrapbooker a lot of QVC products didn't appeal, anyway. Found a couple of good bargains in the clearance and bought the most recent Martha Stewart TSV but I have to say with all the codes for 40% off it's best to order from the EKSuccess homepage anyway so even those deals aren't that good anymore. They didn't even have a nice Christmas card kit on offer - the Anna Griffin kit last year was what sucked me back into crafting and I still have several bits left of it. Don't really watch C&C so I guess it's back to browsing craft sites for me. Shame, as I'd hoped they'd bring Dyan back, maybe for a couple of evening shows 10 o'clockish so I could actually watch.
 
I first saw iris folding on IW before C&C channel and have just started doing it myself. Some shows of this would be nice with stencil offers.
