Fons and Porter Templates
 

I’ve searched and searched and cannot find where the F&P templates are now being sold. There are a few I might be interested in purchasing. I’ve checked in the site where all the magazines from this publisher are now (I do have a subscription) and cannot find any templates in their Shop. anyone have any clues? It’s a bummer when I find a pattern in a previous issue and cannot find the templates.

Thanks

Google Fons and Porter templates. They are all available there.

wal-mart, joAnn's fabrics and Amazon have some.

Thank you both for the suggestions - I’ve already googled F&P and I didn’t find the ones I was interested in. I might have to back track through Pinterest - sometimes that works. My Joann’s seems to not carry much from F&P anymore. I was there over the weekend and there wasn’t the usual items that had been carried before. Amazon, eBay and Etsy are my friends (the pile of boxes proves this!!!!!!). I appreciate your quick answers - I’ll keep looking. Eels like ever since The Quilting Company took over all these magazines, everything I ever used to look for has been more difficult to find on thus site. I even subscribed for $79.99/year to view the videos thistle I’m interested and could get for free several years ago. Hmmmmm…………

Hi - me again. I been check again all the places that that you nice friends have suggested. I’ve found a few templates but no one has them all. I’m giving up for tonight as I need to get a good night’s sleep because I’m off to AQS Charleston, SC tomorrow mornin. It’s only about 3-1/2 hours south if me here in NC and I’ve never been there so I’m looking for a great trip. I wish my good friend could go but she can’t right now - maybe next year. Once again,, thanks.

You don't say which specific templates you're interested in, but maybe a vendor besides F & P has something similar. I have a good collection of Deb Tucker templates that will make most basic units in multiple sizes. Missouri Star has a ton of shapes in their collection. I think they even offer a discount if you buy them all as a package.

Have you checked Keepsake Quilting, I believe they still carry all of their items?

I know the JoAnn's near me has carried some of the templates in the past. You may want to just google Fons and Porter templates and possibly find what you need there. Good Luck in your search

mention the specific ones and maybe someone on here can help you. I've given away more than I want to think about.

I agree about googling a specific name. Usually works for me. Frustrating not to be able to get the ones you want.

Sometimes Tuesday Morning has the older Fons and Porter templates but that is truly a hit and miss shopping experience. Good luck!!

I have seen some at JoAnn's.

Is there a reason you specifically want the fons and porter templates.

Wesing - The F&P templates aren’t really a do or die thing - I’m interested in thrones with curves - wish I could think of the names right now but I’m at a hotel in Charleston after attending the AQS Charleston quilt show and completely fried. Going back home tomorrow. I’ll check some back issues for specific ones but I do remember they weren’t repeats of other templates (which imlace lots and lots of). Thanks to all - I’ll write back when I’m more specific.

Well - I found the name of the F&P templates I’ve tried to find. I am looking at an issue I’d their magazine from May/June 2017 and there is a pattern - the templates are Twisted Pinwheel and Twisted Triangle. I’m hoping that someone might have or know someone who has these templates. I like the blocks they make - there is a pattern in the magazine to trace but I’m not very good at making sure these particular ones would turn out correct. Thanks to all who took he time to answer. It is most appreciated

I can see why you would prefer the template. so far I've only found pics of the Twisted Pinwheel. must be an old one. Good luck!!

ooh, that would make a cool block! good luck on your search.

https://quiltingcubby.com/twisted-triangles-template/ not sure this is the one. yep, I think it is. quiltingcompany has videos on both of these. so far no templates...
saw another view on Facebook by Fon's and Porter.

The Quilting Company says they have discontinued production of the F&P templates so the only ones available would be what stores still have.

Thank you so much for the info about the F&P templates. It’s really sad that the company made a decision to discontinue the templates, yet there are videos and magazines (not even older ones) still available. Sometimes corporate decisions don’t make much sense. I’ll give up my search. I appreciate all the help I’ve received. Y’all are just super!!!!!

Native Texan - thanks so much for the link to this pattern. Luckily I do know the “old school” way of making templates - I just really like this pattern and the challenge of making it. I might even try it with hand piecing, which is how I learned way back in 1979. I will definitely save this link.
