We were all very excited when Marti was presented tthe 2004 Silver Star Award. The award is presented annually by Quilts, Inc. and International Quilt Festival to a living person whose body of work has positively influenced, promoted, and developed the art of quilting. Marti received the award at a dinner attended by about 500 people at the International Quilt Festival in Houston, Texas, and at the end of the evening, we surprised Marti with a friendship quilt made by about 150 of her closest friends! A career retrospective and special exhibit of Marti's quilts, books, and memorabilia was also on display during the show, and now that we've found the pictures, we'll post some soon.
Many issues of Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting magazine has been converted to templates so you can make some of the great patchwork quilts in the magazine. Print from our web pages or download PDFs.
Show-and Tell ~ If you've made a quilt using one of our products - a set of templates, one of Marti's books, a pattern, or one of our rulers or other tools ~ please send us an e-mail with a 72dpi jpeg of your scanned or digital photo attached. We'd like to see your quilt, and share it with other visitors on an upcoming show-and-tell page.
