I belonged when The Quilt Show first began but never really got into it. I loved Alex's Simply Quilts as I found it when I first began quilting and Alex and her guests really taught me how to quilt. I was a member of Alex's message board and through it found so many online quilting friends, a few of which I see at least once a year at Lancaster.
I attended one of Alex's Retreat in her home town of Livermore, CA and found her as sweet and unpretentious as she appeared on Simply Quilts. She didn't push us buying her fabrics and books, they were on tables in the hall outside of our retreat classroom and we helped ourselves and wrote down what we bought. That"s why I also find it said that she has been asking for money on the new show.
