I am proud to be participating in the Alzheimer's Art
Quilt Initiative, a program to raise awareness and fund
research for Alzheimer’s disease. It has two parts: a traveling
art quilt exhibit interpreting Alzheimer’s in fiber art
that will tour the US for three years and an on-going sale of
small art quilts. All proceeds from both the traveling show and
the small art quilt sale will go to Alzheimer’s research.
If you would like to be involved you can read all the details
at www.alzquilts.org.
There
is now a book of all the quilts in the traveling exhibit. The designer
of each quilt tells a bit of their quilts story. It
is quite a book. Consider giving the book to any friend that is
dealing with Alzheimer’s. See the book at www.alzquilts.org
I made a quilt for the traveling show in honor of my
mother in law, Martha Louise Bowles. Russian Olive Trees (Photo
on Right) is the quilt that I made for the traveling show. The
traveling show will be something you will want to see as many of
your favorite fiber artists will be involved.
