CELEBRITY INVITATIONAL QUILT
AUCTION STARTS NOVEMBER
1ST
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.
