In June 2009 Alex was invited to Costa Rica by her good friends Maria Teresa and Rocio of El Costurero Quilt Shop in San Jose, Costa Rica. Maria Teresa and Rocio pioneered quilting in Costa Rica. Alex gave a (translated) all day seminar on quilting to 300+ quilters and had quilts in a special show. The TV show "Buen Dia" came and filmed her at the store with the wonderful local students. The video is in Spanish.
Thursday night in Houston Alex celebrated Maria Teresa's birthday. Happy birthday to a quilting pioneer.
