Gig(s): HGTV’s The Carol Duvall Show

Excerpt Craft Corps (Chapter 5):

“VH: What have changes have you seen in the craft industry over the years?

CD: If I had to say it in one word, it would be growth. When I was first doing my craftg shows in the early 60’s, my main materials were milk cartons, bleach bottles, egg cartons, etc. This was not just by choice, but necessity. There were only two craft stores in all of Detroit that I knew of, and their staples were things like Styrofoam balls, chenille stems, bump chenille, and sequins–lots of sequins. The incredible growth in the amount of tools and materials available has made it possible for almost anyone who has the desire to craft to make things that are truly items to be proud of. It used to be that if folks thought they were not artistic, they couldn’t craft. That’s not the case anymore.“

    I so miss Carol on TV!! I loved her show so much! She got me into so many other kinds of crafting! It’s all her fault! LOL I love these little peaks into things via facebook.

  4. desertgypsy

    I miss Carol so much. I sure wish she would come back. Crafting is not the same without her. Carol is the Craft Goddess. Sure hope I win. I already have a copy but want one for a friend. Thanks for the chance.

    I love Carol Duvall! Her energy level gets you excited about crafts you never thought of doing, and she breaks crafts down into steps so anyone can do them! She has terrific guests on her show, and always seems to ask the questions I’m thinking of. So jealous you got to meet her, Vicki!

  8. Lynne

    I love all the neat craft ideas Carol gives and have used many of them. I sure miss her show!

    Wish they would bring back The Carol Duvall Show. I’m looking forward to check out her book. Linda Earley

    So great to see anything about Carol Duvall! Her show made all crafters feel special. She treated amateurs and professionals with the same warmth and respect. Loved the Christmas shows especially!

  11. Kysha Plante

    I really miss the old craft shows. It was such a treat to go to my grandma’s house on saturdays and watch Aleene and Carol on TNN. We didn’t have cable and PBS only had Bob Ross, also an awesome show.I then started watching Carol on HGTV. I still DVR Stylicious and Nitty Gritty and Craft Lab when they come on at 4am.

    I used to love to watch her!! I got a lot of great ideas from her shows!! Loved the shoebox!!

  16. Bonney

    I would love to see re-runs of her show. That was a real quality show and so informative. I miss her.

  18. Ferg

    We sure miss Carol…… my little crafty daughter would rather watch her that the Disney Channel! 🙂

  19. Tara

    I love watching Carol’s show on cable. I have to go to my aunts house to watch it since I don’t have cable. It’s worth the trip.

  20. Gigi

    I too loved watching Carol, along with my Mom and sister. Boy, she’s right when she said there weren’t a lot of crafting stuff when she started. Remember taking “road trips” just to go to Lee Wards which was about 50 miles away. Now, I get my pick of which store to go to. Want to do more with my granddaughters and start involving them in the joy of crafts.

    I miss watching Carol and also Vickie on TV. I’d get great ideas watching while doing my own craft projects. I even learned how to teach craft skills to those around by your excellent examples. I am happy to have the internet to keep the craft movement going strong.

  24. halomom

    I love watching video clips of Carol Duvall online. She has so much fun when she’s crafting. If she glues her fingers together or spills glitter all over the floor, I know she’s just keeping it real! I can’t wait to get her latest book.

  25. Kim Mayhew

    I used to love watching her show and got so many great ideas! This is soooo cool!

  29. June

    I can’t tell you how many mornings I had my coffee watching Carol Duvall. My husband labelled it the – “Carol and Me” hour. I still think of her as a ‘friend’ and am delighted whenever she is on TV….. I would love to have her book….
    Thank you.

    I love papercrafting. Can’t wait to see what type of things are in this one. I wish I had taped Carol’s shows.

  36. Emily Mecca

    My mother LOVES Carol Duvall!! This would be the perfect gift for her! 🙂

  37. Charlene

    Carol duvall was my favorite craft person on DIY Network I don’t know the reason they removed all the craft shows but I am sure hoping that they put them back on. I miss watching the awsome knitty gritty show with Vickie Howell.

  39. Barbara

    Carol Duvall is truly the Queen of crafting! I watched her show for years and hated it when HGTV took her show off the air, and yours. I have no TV show to go to any longer to watch and learn from. :O( I would love to win “any” book that Carol has written.

    used to luv to watch carol, rarely see her shows in our area any more, even repeats. Tanya

  45. mab

    I grew up watching Carol Duvall on tv! She inspired my mom and I to make crafts out of everything we could get our hands on. I may have added (many) years to my age, but I haven’t grown out of crafty crafting from everything and anything. I’d looooove this book!

    Thanks for the chance to enter!

    I used to watch Carol all the time, but haven’t had cable tv in a long time, I used to really enjoy her show…..would be nice to add her book to my craft library

    Anne Sampson – Carol Duvall is great and I’m sure her book will be too. I would live to have it.
    Thanks for this giveaway.

  56. Angela.Eaves

    I can hear the intro music to her show right now – and the cheerful ‘welcome to the show’. Pretty sure I’d rather meet her than the president, if given the choice!!

  62. Brandy

    I always watched Carol’s show. She asked the right questions of her guests so you really understood how they did their projects.

  66. Lupie

    Love her show but can’t seem to find it anymore.
    It may have got the way of Knitty Gritty.
