One Auction, 12 Quilts, $15,545





As Ami Simms, founder of AAQI says "It’s been quite a November, friends! First IQF Houston, and now the auction!"


The Celebrity Invitational Quilt Auction held November 1-10, 2012 raised $15,545 for the Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative! It was the most successful auction ever to benefit the all-volunteer nonprofit!

It was also the most fun to watch as bidding for the top quilts continued on for almost an hour after the auction’s end at 10pm central time due to popcorn bidding.

World famous quilters have been competing with each other to see who could raise the most money for the AAQI since 2009.

Competing this year were 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.



Pat Holly’s quilt “Fear of Empty Spaces” (16″ x 16″) took top honors. It sold for $3,665 — more than any quilt has ever raised for the AAQI.

Pat wrote in her artist statement, “On a recent trip to Turkey, I encountered the design idea “fear of empty spaces,” meaning every inch is filled with motifs. It struck me that in life, we fear those empty spaces and hope we can find a way to cope when it happens.”

This is the most heavily quilted quilt I have ever seen. I doubt there is more than an eighth of an inch anywhere on the quilt that isn’t stitched. I just had to look at it under a magnifying glass and I was not disappointed. Oh, my goodness! Masterful!

“Joy Remembered” by Diane Gaudynski sold for $3,135 and “Scrambled” by John Flynn sold for $2,010. All the quilts in the field were exceptional, and I felt that there were several that were underbid. But am I happy? YOU BET! Wow!

$15,545!

The AAQI sponsors the Celebrity Invitational Quilt Auction each November in honor of National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month. If you would like to suggest a world renowned quilter whom you would like to see join the competition in 2013, please use the comment section below.

If you wish you could have bid but didn’t, you can still get T-shirts, tote bags, and all sorts of cool stuff with the 2012 quilts on them from CafePress.com. Don’t wait too long. They’ll be gone soon.

Huge thanks to the extraordinarily talented quilters who created these 12 outstanding quilts and to the generous buyers who purchased them at auction.

AAQI Is Over the Moon!




We are over the moon!



During the four and a half days at International Quilt Festival in Houston last week the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative (AAQI) sold 1,597 quilts earning $75,000 for the AAQI!!!!


You can read more about it on the AAQI Update blog:

But as Ami Simms has written: 

 

International Quilt Festival ROCKED!


" I am humbled and honored and…..EXHAUSTED! International Quilt Festival was incredible! We sold 1,597 quilts and raised $75,000 for the Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative!

This represents the largest amount of money raised by the AAQI at one time ever. We beat last year by $13,000. Most importantly, this means more money for research. Our Scientific Advisory Board is considering three grant applications right now for funding.
Or, for a quick and condensed version see our official press release:


Congratulations to the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative (AAQI) Help us change the world, one little quilt at a time!

News from Houston: we have broken all sales records for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday! So far we have earned $58,000 for the AAQI in our booth in Row S,  at International Quilt Festival in Houston!

And as you can see, from the photo above, Beth is putting out our AAQI Priority Quilts as photographers are charting our story and her progress!  The AAQI booth is Row S at the Houston International Quilt Show and they are selling like crazy!

 To help everyone get a sneek peak to see if any of their quilts have sold yet or not, I am once again attempting to cut and paste from the AAQI posts on facebook. So this list is taken from Diane and Beth's and whoever else is helping send in the tallies from the booth and in their homes!
