Alex has always had an affinity for the crisp combination of blue and yellow. See her Blue Baskets quilt, which features her Morning Glory fabric line, in the March/April 2005 (#102) issue of Quiltmaker magazine. Check www.villagequiltshoppe.com for back issue availability.

Excerpts from the Experts
Interview with Alex Anderson
How does a person get featured on Simply Quilts?
I love this question because, while we love highlighting today's top quiltmakers, Simply Quilts is always on the lookout for fresh ideas and new techniques. Your best bet would be to send a proposal (please include a bio, excellent pictures and a brief description of what the technique entails) directly to me at the following address. I will then pass it on to the producers when the next season starts up. As a team, we work to put together a balanced grouping of shows. We recognize the diversity of our community and hope to reach all. We then present the package to the network and they ultimately have approval. We are grateful for our guests' time and diverse talent.

If you could offer one piece of advice for quiltmakers today, what would it be?
Join your local guild, take classes, and surround yourself with other quilters. I have found this community to be one of the kindest and most caring groups of people despite our diverse backgrounds. To be isolated from other quilters would be very sad. I think that when it is all said and done, those friendships we gain may be the best part of quilting.
