The Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative (AAQI) had a big presence at Fall Quilt Festival in Houston. Ami Simms and her volunteer crew set up and manned the booth for Festival, selling quilts to raise money and awareness to fight Alzheimer’s disease.
In addition to the ongoing sale of quilts to raise money for Alzheimer’s research, four small quilts by world-renowned quilters Hollis Chatelain, John Flynn, Becky Goldsmith, and Sue Nickels will be auctioned. The no-holds-barred, knock-down, drag-out, head-to-head, quilt-to-the-death (not really), grudge match will be held November 1-10, 2009 in the AAQI “Smackdown Auction Arena.” The 10-day online silent auction is all about bragging rights—and raising awareness and money to fight Alzheimer’s disease.
Between now and October 31st vote for your favorite quilt with a small donation, and starting November 1st, place your bid to win one of these fabulous quilts.
