Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative

This is a wonderful and fun organization that auctions and sells donated quilts for Alzheimer's research. The AAQI has donated over $400,000 toward research since 2006. My Liberated Quilters group issued a challenge to create quilts for this worthwhile cause and the founder of AAQI has asked us to spread the word to other quilters.
The auction starts April 1 and the quilts can be found here: http://www.alzquilts.org/quiltauction.html
There are also quilts for sale here: http://www.alzquilts.org/quiltsforsale.html
And if you'd like to make a quilt to donate: http://www.alzquilts.org/paq.html (Yoo hoo, doll quilt swappers!) :wink:

Thanks for the links Chele. I went to a quilt show today and the local guild had their little alzheimer quilts on display. They were amazing. I am going to get one done.

I have it on my list for this year to make a quilt. I have nobody in my family that has ever had Alzheimer's but I can only imagine the heartbreak of watching someone you love slip away.
I have watched Ami Sims' blog for quite sometime and cried when reading what she went through.
