More than 20,000 quilt lovers made their way to the home of the Grand Ole Opry for the AQS 2004 Quilt Exposition in August in Nashville, Tennessee. At a special reception, five quiltmakers were named as All-American Quilters: Alex Anderson, Jinny Beyer, Eleanor Burns, Caryl Bryer Fallert, and Ruth McDowell. The honorees spoke of their beginnings in quilting as well as their present work. At the exposition, AQS also debuted the pilot of its new television series American Quilter that began airing on Lifetime Real Women in January. For information on the 2005 show in Nashville, contact AQS at P.O. Box 3290, Paducah, KY 42002; 270-898-7903; website www.americanquilter.com.
