Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative
Involvement with this project will help to raise funds for Alzheimer's research, something that affects many on a personal level. The Priority: Alzheimer's silent auction proceeds now exceed $10,000, and the quilts in the Alzheimer's: Forgetting Piece by Piece began their journey this week in Nashville. From what's been seen of the quilts and read of their stories, it will be a moving experience. The traveling exhibit travels next to the Pennsylvania National Quilt Expo in Harrisburg.
The Priority Alzheimer's quilts will be on exhibit and for sale at International Quilt Festival in the Houston this fall. This is a wonderful opportunity to raise funds, but more quilts are needed for the sale. If you have time, make a small quilt (no larger than 9" by 12") to help.
