I often wonder how can quilting get better and it does - every year! Here is a small retrospective of the activities this year from this quilters point of view.
Also, here is a glimpse of the special exhibit that I was SO worried about. Quilts, Inc. did a bang up job! Thank you friends!!

NQR - but who can resist a wedding? This summer has been a whirlwind of activity, and perhaps the high light was Joey and Shelly's Wedding. they met at UC Santa Barbara, so it was only natural that the event was there. Here are a few pictures snapped that day by me, but for a video review go to www.dvartistry.com - then go to the blog section and scroll down to August 17th. This video was shown at the conclusion of the evening.

I am also a 'dial-up' dinosaur, so I have enjoyed your podcasts. Just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS to the 2008 Silver Star Award winner to be given at the Houston International Quilt Festival. I look forward to seeing you there.

I just wanted to thank you for the Quilt Show-Series One DVDs. I am one of the few who are still on dial-up and I was so disappointed when I realized that I was unable to watch the episodes. I had just recieved my DVDs and I have had a fabulous time watching them! I can't wait for future DVDs! Thank you again!

| It seems that all quilters learn to claim their space. Some have better situations than others, but non the less, were ever we stitch, becomes sacred territory - What is your space like? |

Hi Alex--Glad to hear you talk about your sewing studio again. I have emailed you in the past when we were going to build a new house. Now we are going to add on instead so I am back to drawing up plans and I am more confused than before.

Hi Alex. I am a faithful listener of your podcasts. I thought something was amiss at Itunes when you had not done a podcast since 82. I decided to check this site and see that in fact 83 is available. Do you know of something amiss at Itunes or have you severed your ties with them.
THanks for a wonderful, informative and inspiring podcast.
P.S. I am also a member of the Quilt Show.

Alex,
As usual, there you were with a smile on your face and happy to see all your fans. You continue to bring quilting to the public and new quilters will always find you easy to talk to, and that's a true gift.
Continued good luck with The Quilt Show.

Congratulations, Alex, on your first year.... and thank you! I just wanted to make a comment about Bob Bigelow, your fabulous webmaster. After discovering TQS in December, I was happily viewing your programs while working on projects in my sewing room. On Feb 12th I was suddenly unable to view any videos from your site and after many frustrating hours on the phone to my cable provider & 2 trips to the repair store, I contacted your site to see if there had been a change there. After several exchanges without resolution, Bob actually picked up the phone and called me in NH to try and solve the problem. I couldn't believe it! (Especially after dealing with the cable techs) He was so patient and so nice. If all of your associates are that wonderfully dedicated, you all have great things in store. The upshot to my computer video problem? A new computer (I'm not kidding). We still don't know what the problem was, but the computer is happily living now in the office at the Vintage Fret Shoppe in NH and functioning beautifully. I'm viewing your programs & listening to your podcasts again and have now signed up for the 3rd season... can't wait! Best wishes to you all! Lynn E.

What is a podcast?
A podcast is really just any show (audio or video) that is available online, and is set up so folks can subsribe to it. While many sites offer a direct download of their shows, it's the option of subscribing (sign up for automatic downloads of new shows) that makes an online show a "podcast."
How can I subscribe to this podcast?
If you would like to download new shows as they become available, automatically... you will need to use a player that knows how to subscribe to podcasts. The most popular choice at the moment seems to be Apple's iTunes.
