HSN (Home Shopping Network) has two shows Tuesdays selling Singer machines at 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. CT.

Even though I haven't been in the market for a SM for a long time I have always liked to watch the shows in order to watch Darlene Cahill demo the machines. She was always so enthusiastic about sewing and I enjoyed that. Well, she hasn't been on TV for a very long time. Not anywhere on the Internet either. Anyone know what happened to her?

Thank you Lord for my mother who taught me the joy of sewing, for my father and husband who encouraged my sewing, for the talent You gave me to sew, and for all the special people in my life to sew for.

It looks like she's busy with her new women's gun holster business.

Thank you Karen! Darlene hasn't posted on her own web site or anywhere that I could find in many months. She just went MIA. So am glad to know where she went. I do wish she'd come back to HSN though.

Darlene was fun to watch. She always inspired me to get sewing and she always had interesting projects. While I never purchased a Singer while she was on air I came very close of few times. I am very sad that she will no longer be on HSN. She will be missed. Not sure I will watch HSN much when Singer is on anymore.

That's right!

So, is she definitely not coming back? Or is this a temporary hiatus while she gets her business established? Because the article referred to her in the present tense as "an on-air sewing and irons demonstrator at the Home Shopping Network". It does sound like she may be back. Or maybe I'm just being hopeful.
