Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting

Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting is a magazine and public TV show focusing on the art and technique of piecing and quilting quilts. The show was hosted by Liz Porter and Marianne Fons. Both have retired and occasionally make guest appearances on the show. Porter left first and Mary Fons, Marianne's daughter, began to co-host the show with her mother. Gradually, Mary began to host alone with a guest to show a new technique as often as with Marianne. As of 2016, Marianne and Mary do the tips segment, but most shows include either Mary with a guest or David Lose with a guest. The magazine Love of Quilting was first published in 1999 and has been on TV since 2003. Each episode consists of a technique lesson, usually focusing on a single block for a finished quilt, and a tips section of viewer-submitted tips.
