Basically, the volunteers who have been doing all the work agreed that the group's goal--$1 million dollars for Alzheimer's Research, given to reviewed and carefully selected researchers, has been met. Over 15,000 priority quilts have been donated--they're called priority because they fit well in the 9 x 12 priority USPS mailing envelopes.

Couldn't have said it better! These are wonderful kind people who are frequently dealing with family members afflicted with Alzheimer's or other dementias. Please read about AAQI on their website and on Facebook. There is a Celebrity Auction coming up in Oct. which will have slightly larger quilts by some of the best known quilters in the world. These quilts can be seen at Houston, also. Hope to see you all there. I have only 2 quilts left on the AAQI website #15,149 -Don and 15,352 - Fast Grey Matter. I'm making a few postcards for the animal rescue fundraiser at IQA Festival Houston, too.
