Hi,
Does anyone know about the break-up of the Fons and Porter TV show and organization? Last week, Maryan announced on the show that Liz Porter had retired!!!!!!!! This was a great team and they have a very big organization. I am very sorry to hear this on their PBS show . I do like the new team of Maryanne and her daughter. They really explain patterns ect very well.
I do wish Liz Porter the best in the future.

That really is sad news. I guess we all deserve to retire at some point but from QUILTING, never. Their show is no longer on our PBS either. We now have the Pokey Bolton show which isn't as appealing to me as Fons and Porter. I loved the fact they could admit when they were messing up on the camera. It make me feel like they were one of "us". The show will be missed.

It was mentioned about a month ago here. I wish her well and can understand she wants family time, but we were her family also :cry: LOL
I can only imagine all the time involved with everything they did , taping for TV, the quilt shows in person, time for the magazine and then try to squeeze in some "fun" quilting :roll:
