Welcome |
 Happy Thanksgiving Week! As we come together with family and friends for another Thanksgiving holiday it is easy for many of us to lose site of our many blessings. Take some time this week to look back over this year and remember the people you are thankful for and make sure you let them know. A kind word and an unsolicited thank you may just make a person’s day.
This year at Fons & Porter we are thankful for our readers and want you to know how excited we are to bring you beautiful quilts and quilting education. We have also decided to bring you a new section in the newsletter that will spotlight a non-profit organization. There are so many great organizations in the world that are making a difference every day. |
