This article from Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting celebrates the 25th anniversary of the magazine. It recounts a lecture given by the founders, Marianne Fons and Liz Porter, at the University of Iowa's John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Program. The founders shared their journey from beginner quilters to successful businesswomen, showcasing their magazine, TV series, fabric designs, and mail-order business. The lecture was well-received by the audience, particularly by students who found the founders relatable and reminiscent of their own mothers. The article includes a photo of Marianne, Liz, and Dennis Naughton, the former associate director of the John Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center. [Extracted from the article] |
