The Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative ( AlzQuilts.org ) offers an online auction during the first 10 days of every month. Each November, in honor of National Alzheimer's Awareness Month, the AAQI offers 12 very special quilts. This year the auction quilts have been made by world renowned quilters Alex Anderson, Hollis Chatelain, Caryl Bryer Fallert, John Flynn, Diane Gaudynski, Becky Goldsmith, Pat Holly, Libby Lehman, Marsha McCloskey, Sue Nickels, Mary Sorensen, and Ricky Tims. The quilts are about 16" x 16" and the auction is open to the public. Last year the 12 quilts offered in the November auction raised more than $14,000 for the AAQI, an all-volunteer effort to raise awareness and fund research through art.

Soaring Sales for AAQI: All Because of YOU! Posted on August 23, 2012 Every month Debbie Chenail (AAQI treasurer) and I sit down to update the Show Me The Money page on the Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative website. We list every expense, we add up all the quilt sales and donations, and we calculate the profits so far this year. That number is then added to our cumulative total of how much the AAQI has raised for Alzheimer’s research. (Profits: All our profits fund research.) Do you know of any other charity that posts that kind of information on its website? I didn’t think so. Don’t you wish they all did, so you can know how the money you give is spent?! (Sorry. I digress.) Well, we just crunched the numbers and as of the end of July we have raised… more than $747,000 …for Alzheimer’s research. Makes me think of an airplane, you know, a 747. I just had to tell you! The AAQI’s “bread and butter” are Priority: Alzheimer’s Quilts . You donate them; we sell them. So how are we doing so f...

If any of you have been wondering where I have been I promise I havent been out playing..I wish I could be out playing :) I signed up for my first craft fair. Its not a super duper large one but its supposed to be good sized. I am hoping to get signed up for the large one but well we are still waiting on paperwork and sales tax and what not.....Boring stuff. So in the mean time I am having my own little panic attack at having product to sell. In the leantime my favorite customer is keeping me from getting bored.Lol.....This is the latest. Isnt it adorable! I love the Dick and Jane fabric. For once too its NOT king size!! Believe it or not I have MORE fiber content to show you too! Remember the strips and curves top? Well there is progress on that one! AND I even got another baby set done. I can hardly believe it myself :)...
