Some of thee comments are very interesting and reflect a lot of 'attitude'. I think I have grown beyond most of the things I see demonstrated on their show. I still subscribe to the magazine and look forward to each issue. But I think the quilting world should thank Fons and Porter for their contribution to the quilting world. They moved the love of sewing and quilting in a positive direction that everyone can use. Some of the other well noted teachers are more specialized in their direction. Fons and Porter have been very inclusive in their approach. I'm pleased to see them include more modern approaches to quilts. It's fun to try new things. I would call my self more traditional but I can embrace new ideas. Quilting has become big business rather than just a niche hobby and to survive there must be new players in the game.
