Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting is a 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 of the original hosts have retired and occasionally make guest appearances. Liz left first and Mary Fons, Marianne's daughter, began to co-host 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 of the shows include either Mary with a guest or David Lose with a guest. Love of Quilting has been on TV since 2003 and is based on the magazine first published in 1999. 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.
In 2006, Fons and Porter was acquired by New Track Media, a company backed by the private equity firm Boston Ventures. In 2014, New Track was sold to F+W Media.
