Alex, I will be at your dinner and have been at at least 10 of the last Silver Star Salutes. IMHO, the most meaningful ones have been about the person: your journey as a quilter and as a person, with photos of way back when as well as your quilts. Talking about the role quiltmaking has played in your personal journey of life would be well-received. Your early work is fun to see as well as what you're doing now. Yep, 20 minutes will fly by and I just know you will be superb--enjoy your well-deserved recognition--you have meant a lot to millions of quiltmakers, most you'll never know.

Alex, of course we want to know every little thing about your entire life, :wink: but you have been such an inspiration to so many quilters, I would like to know who inspired you? Who do you consider your mentors from the early days? You said in episode 213 that Mary Mashuta was your first teacher; are there others? And what do you think is the most important thing that teachers should strive to instill in their students?

Alex, I'm so glad that you are getting this award. You really do deserve it! I am really disappointed that I won't be there this year. This is the first year in about 7 years that I haven't been to the show and it figures that this would be the one I'd have to miss. Like so many of the others I've followed you from Simply Quilts and was sorry to see it go but am so happy that The Quilt Show has evolved and that you and Ricky are doing such a wonderful job!! I would love to see your quilts and also those you may have been given that also tell your story and who help make you the wonderful person you are today. I would love to hear more than 20 minutes, if I could be there but I know you will make 20 minutes more than entertaining. Have a great time and enjoy every minute of the accolades. You deserve them all.
