I started quilting because of you. Thank you, Mary Fons, for inspiring me and helping me find my creative outlet. May your bobbin always be full.

[@TheShamelle]

I love you guys so much. Thank you. When you have quilting in your life, you have something no one can ever take away from you. It's a beautiful thing and we're all part of one of the most important creative legacies in American history. Quilt On, Mar

[@wordwalkermomma4]

I still miss you! I was inspired for decades by your mom and Liz...but I was actually motivated by you to quilt through to completion.Now, after having raised my children, I am ready to quilt for them and future family until I leave this world. I LOVE it! Thank you for your help in my journey. 😘

LOVE LOVE LOVE Mary Fons and all that she brings to the quilting community. As an under 35 quilter its great that she has passed on all her wisdom and enthusiasm.

[@aangela7328]

Dear Mary thank you for all the things you taught me, all the laughter, love and passion. And thank you for the time, you spent with "the quilting community". I wish you good luck for your future and a great time.

[@MoultrieBookkeeping]

Wherever your next adventure takes you Mary, you will be loved, respected, and appreciated. Thank you so much for your great tips, instruction and advice. I have learned so much from you and I have loved your interesting and quirky way of teaching. Your shows have been refreshing and such a welcome change from the normally dry and rather staunch quilting instruction so easily found elsewhere. My favorite shows were the ones when your mom was the guest. You two are great, together. I, for one, will miss you!

[@MWesley111]

You and your mom are the reason why I started quilting, thank you, your the best !

[@lynnaltmayer7982]

I still miss these shows Mary, you were just what i needed when you made these shows. I will keep watching!!

AWWW! Mary I love, love, love your tutorials.... You have such a passion in your soul.... I will miss you here..... Best of luck with your future endeavors....

[@ravensmokedancer8242]

I watch quilt stuff every day on KZbin. Mary will most likely never see this but I still watch her every day on KZbin. Rather it is from Quilty or elsewhere, I will watch her because she knows so much and has so much respect for quilting and quilters. Big big hugs many years after this video was filmed Mary! I am so glad that even after Quilty, you are still here!!!

[@claudiamaythree]

I have enjoyed you in these videos! You have a natural easy gift to make the viewers at ease and motivated. Thank you Mary. ♡

[@RUFostering]

Wishing you much, much happiness & success in where ever life takes you & your sewing machines Mary!!

[@mellystorms7759]

That was an emotional video to watch Mary Fons. I have learned so many quilting tips from you over the years. Best of luck to you in your new endeavors. You will be greatly missed by your Quilty fans.

[@ryanmcdonald4100]

Mary, thank you for sharing your knowledge, your enthusiasm, your wit, and your heart with us. I am a new convert to Quilty, but even in that short time you have enriched my Quilting Life. I, too, am moving away from friends, family, and familiarity, so I am glad to know that I am not alone in my new journey. And neither are you. Love & Laughter, Ryan

[@alidavis2211]

Mary is my favourite - she got me started on my first quilt last year and I've watched every episode! Will miss you Mary, good luck in all your new adventures :)

[@mellystorms7759]

[@lizryan6289]

Quilting has saved me from depression and grief from losing my father. Thank you Mary. Will miss you, but happy for you too.

[@sheriiodice]

Kudos to you, Mary for being yourself and enlivening the childlike curiosity and creativity in me that quilters so need. My mom is also a quilter and when I wonder if I quilt only because she does or will only quilt in the same style as her, I think of you and admire how you follow the beat of your own drummer and uniquely compliment the brilliance of your mom. Take us on new adventures. Hugs, Sheri

[@sharonlatour6230]

Oh Mary, I 'll miss seeing you on here! Thanks for the memories. I had a tear in my eye's too! Thanks for the great quilts and the tutorials!

[@grammaali3462]

I haven't been watching this channel for that long, but you brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for your great tutorials. I LOVED your quilt, especially the back. I love quilts from scraps with a purpose. I love that you created this when you "had nobody". I loved that you had a "goober". I loved that you told me as a newbie to quilting that is ok I'm not perfect and that I will get better at it. Thank you Mary!! Now that I've found you, I'm going to miss you!! I'm happy that the channel is staying, I've learned a lot here. Mary, thank you again, I wish you all the best!!

[@pmdempsey9742]

Many thanks Mary for all the tips and advice I have gained through watching you. Good luck with your future endeavours wherever they may lead you.

[@birdieellenberis6741]

[@amycharles648]

Why you make me cry?!?!? I will miss you, Mary. I always looked forward to your new videos. Not only did I learn a lot, I was always very entertained. You have a great teaching style that allows your awesome personality to shine through. Good luck on your future endeavors!

[@stephaniemehrenberg3981]

I don't want her to go. I started quilting a year ago and have learned so much from her. She will always be my favorite.

I am crying. You are so sweet. Good luck in your endeavors.

[@rachellaufenberg6961]

Mary, I don't think u will ever see this cause this video is so old but....I want to thank you for being one of the people who inspired me to start quilting. I was in so much pain about a year ago and needed an outlet. I came across some of your videos and I started quilting. I and the Drs didn't know why I was in pain. After that I was finally diagnosed with crohns. Until about a month ago I came across ur blog about ur own journey. Thank u for inspiring me to quilt to help me get through tough times.

[@fulqwvr]

Thank you, Mary! You've been a wonderful teacher. You are going to go places.

[@petracramirez54]

Mary you are one of my favorite instructors. Learned a lot of tips and techniques from you. Best wishes in your new endeavers. God bless you.

[@dianehriniak5271]

I am sadden by the fact you are leaving as the host of Quilty. You are a terrific teacher. You could see and hear in your voice how much you loved/enjoyed this show. It is our loss as quilters and someone else's gain. May God Bless you in your new endeavors.

[@hbhooooihbbgvv]

awwwww, wow we're gonna miss you!!! thank you for all the wonderful informative and inspiring videos. good luck on in your new venture.

[@Hackdaddy81]

I love this show... I started quilting with my mom...I am a male quilter. . I used to watch fons and porter with her.. it's a tress red memory I have of her and seeing quilty brings me back to the living room sitting with mom watching quilting shows ... thanks for the memories... best of luck

[@Heyreneesews]

I just love watching your show. You're enthusiasm mirrored mine for making quilts. I will miss you. Good luck in your new adventures!

[@margiedmuchowski8190]

Thank you for your wonderful, down to earth way of teaching. You have givin me hope to start my first quilt. Carry on with what ever ;you do with your life in your beautiful and natural way.. You are lucky to play the part of Mary as only you ;can.

[@bdw7x]

thanks for teaching me how to make quilts! this show was the beginning of everything. best of luck and thanks for this episode. you're an awesome person, Mary!

[@laurafifer4453]

I am watching you in 2017 days before Christmas. And i just love watching these videos over and over. I sew cause i love turning fabric into something awesome and that will be loved.

[@newbeequilter]

We all understand your emotions here, Mary. Quilty was like a foster child you had taken care of and loved for the last five years and now that child is going to be parented by another adult. Even though you know there will be other "foster children" that will come into your life to care for, your "Quilty-child" will always hold a special place in your heart. That moment when you said, "don't look at that" , the "thread goober" as you called it, was something we could all relate to. I think it adds a very personal touch to the quilt. Seriously. It's an example of the time and effort that's put into making a quilt for someone on a home/domestic machine. Isn't it the Amish that have a tradition of leaving at least a small mistake in each of their quilts? You can always hand stitch an applique to cover it, maybe even make it an unique place to put your quilt label or put a funny message on it stating something like, "Under this applique lies the stitching mistake proving that I couldn't wait to get this finished and give you this gift from the heart" etc. Good luck in your future endeavors; it seems there are other foster children looking forward to your love and care. :-) And congratulations on your new fabric line with Springs!

Thank you Mary! You take care and best wishes to you.

[@pammacconnell3841]

As I watched this through my tears I remember meeting you in person at your wonderful class at the Sewing Studio in Maitland, Florida. It was a special time with you. Like many others I will truly miss your quilting inspiration and teaching but I know you are headed in wonderful directions. I continue to follow your blog and FaceBook so I know I won't lose sight of my dear Mary! May the road rise to meet you... many quilted blessing will follow you.

[@iamafj]

I just started quilting a few months ago. I've learned so much from your videos and from reading your blog. I hope you're still coming out to California in February. It's my first Quilt Con! I was thinking of joining the local Modern Quit Guild chapter. Your words today may give me the courage to join and actually attend a meeting, LOL. Thank you so very much for sharing yourself with the world and giving us 8 minutes of sunshine with each episode. Hugs and hearts to you, Mary!

[@loraparker6790]

Okay so my first response is "noooooo!" I don't want you to leave!!!! I do however want you to fly and grow and fulfil your dreams so that being said...thank you for all the episodes and for the laughter and knowledge and educational inspiration you have provided me with. I will continue to binge watch as I quilt and watch for great new things from you Ms. Mary! Love your new fabric line also! Muuaaahhhh! Going to grab the tissue now! God Bless you!

[@daniellewalton1420]

I just found Quilty a few months back and have already learned so much. I've been too scared to join the quilting club at church because I just don't know everything. It's intimidating. This show has helped me have much more confidence in my sewing. Thank you! You'll be soooo missed! And I'll definitely stay tuned to see what's next for Quilty!

[@susank2647]

I love your hair! It's shiny and healthy and let's you look like real people. So, your hair has Always been just fine! You are delightful and always have been delightful. I'm two years older than your mom, and I was sooo happy to see you start quilting on TV because you are near the age of my oldest daughter, and she was starting to quilt. I am still hoping to be a quilter some day since I currently have many UFO's and have been watching quilting videos and TV shows for decades as well as reading Many quilting books and hundreds of quilting magazines. It's so good to see you! We will miss you!!! 🤗🤗🤗♥️♥️♥️

[@susanmarical2300]

Thank you for the advice. As a beginner, I will not feel "stupid", and I will keep my mind and eyes open to learning. I wish you well in your new endeavors, and I hope that will include more videos at some point. 😊

[@dianachristian8225]

Good luck on all you do and thank you for all your fun and easily learnable tutorials. Please come back and visit at times. You have a lot of people out here who love you. Take care.

[@Coldfusion1205]

Noooooo! I love watching you! Good luck in your new ventures! You will truly be missed.

[@teecraw]

I don't quilt, never seen the show "Quilty"..., but I too kind of teared up watching this short clip and seeing how emotional she is about the detachment, as well as her passion for the art. Nicely done.

[@jess424619]

Thank you for everything I learned a lot from you & enjoyed watching your videos... You will be missed but Good luck with everything you do

[@denisestilling2810]

So enjoy you and your spunky attitude..love that you share so much of yourself.

[@chief88now]

I love watching your quilting videos, The best in your new endeavors, you will be missed, you have taught me sew much! Thanks from the bottom of my bobbin! Good LUCK!

[@elaineturcotte1043]

Wow! This was a very special video! I first "met you" online when you were working on the show with your mom. It was you two that drew me in to watching an online quilting show. I've learned so much and still have so much to learn! Thank you for sharing this quilt you made and your message regarding beginner quilters! It can be incredibly intimidating to join a group or ask questions when every term and process is new! I was lucky (22 yrs ago) in that I knew how to thread and use a sewing maching, I had sewn a little by hand (but am still not great or fast even now!!) and had a good eye for color combinations and contrasts. Groups WISH they could attract more beginning quilters!

[@terrimathis9197]

I will miss this awesome quality show. But that's because Mary is awesome, too. Thank you thank you thank you! XOXOXOXOXO

[@michelem9842]

All the best to Mary. She will be sorely missed. I teared up too. How sad.

I really enjoy your approach to quilting and love your videos. I will miss you on Quilty, and wish you all the best in your future endeavours! Like other commenters, I am new to quilting and I love your advice. All the best, Mary!

[@martielast5963]

Best wishes on your new venture. It's been a pleasure watching your show every morning, which I just discovered this past summer, from 5:30-6:00 before I trudge off to work. I am an experienced quilter, who learned from watching your mom and Liz on PBS in the 90s. Your show is great, too. I always found an interesting piece of advice here, fresh fabric combos, a new way to do something, or best of all, your up-beat energy. You have a wonderful spirit that shines through the screen. I feel certain that you will be a success at whatever you endeavor to do. I hope that our paths cross one day.

[@PDNB214]

Congratulations on your new begin ! Wishing you all the best and hope our paths cross again.

Why is Mary leaving? Mary I love listening to you because you always make me smile, then I relax and it's like I'm listening to a friend showing me how to do stuff....I wish you everything good in your future and really hope this is not the last we see if you..take care xx

[@Aquarianthing]

Thank you for your teachings and inspirations: good luck in all that you do

[@PickleBerryMiss]

Oh Beautiful Mary! I wish you all of the very best luck in the world for your new endeavours-but I'm really so sad. I only started quilting in the last 12 months and I found you early on in my quilting journey and I love you because you remind me so much of myself-oh look she's the American Me! I have learnt so much about the little things in quilting from you and look forward to each new episode you do because it helps to keep inspiring me. So I'll share my Quilt Story with you-because you're in it! I made my first ever quilt in the last 6 months and gifted it for Christmas to my beautiful Mother-in-Law-I just knew it was for her after the first class, and when she opened it she just totally loved it! So much so that she asked me to make her another just like it for her massive King Sized Bed- arggggggh!! But of course I said yes - because I love her-LOTS! So, her Christmas quilt over the last few weeks has became her "Brag Quilt" and she showed it off to all of her friends and kept reminding me I should start her 'Big Quilt'. Just a few days ago we found out that she is very sick with Leukaemia, and so start this quilt I must-very soon in fact, and I have figured out that I am going to probably need to use a new technique to achieve the look I want for her quilt-Paper Piecing-and guess who I learnt that from....who made it seem easy and possible....Yep-that would be you! Blessings to you lovely lady - you are very awesome - so go on spreading that magic fairy dust wherever you go - we will all be looking for the trail so we can find you again. xxx Larissa
