I recently received an e-mail from Ami Simms with updates about the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative. I am happy to pass along this news to interested quilters out there in blogland.
The Alzheimer's Art Quilt
Initiative is still going strong and aiming for the million dollar mark in funds
raised for Alzheimer's research by the end of this year. To date our total is
$914,000.
1. The May auction quilts are up!
We are offering 27
beautiful quilts from the Priority: Alzheimer's Quilt project. The online
auction starts on May 1st and runs to May 10th.
Here are some of my favorites.
In The Garden, by Joan Willcocks Peachtree City, GA USA |
Put a Bird on It, by Patricia Smith Germantown, TN USA |
The Mallorn Tree, by Lisa Dodson Martinsville, IN USA |
2. Participants in the AAQI's annual Celebrity Invitational Quilt Auction are confirmed for the November online auction. They are Charlotte Warr Andersen, Alex Anderson, Karen Kay Buckley, Linda Carlson, Pepper Cory, John Flynn, Diane Gaudynski, Renae Haddadin, Pat Holly, Libby Lehman, Patrick Lose, Marsha McCloskey, Sue Nickels, Barbara Shapel, Virginia & George Siciliano, Mary Sorensen, Ricky Tims, and Laura Wasilowski.
Whose quilt do you think will
go for the highest amount?
3. The AAQI will return one last time to
International Quilt Festival in Houston
(Oct 30-Nov 3). We hope to
bring 2,500 little quilts to sell and still need help reaching that goal. There
is still time to make a quilt. The deadline isn't until August 1st. Details are
here:
Be a part of the fight against
Alzheimer's!
