AAQI (Alzheimer's Art Quilt Iniative) Celebrity Quilt Auction!


The Celebrity Invitational Online Quilt Auction starts November 1st and ends November 10th. Fourteen small quilts (no larger than 15″ x 15″) made by world renown quilters will be auctioned to benefit the Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative (AAQI). This is the fifth year an elite group of quilters has donated quilts to the AAQI for an online auction in November, National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.

The Celebrity Invitational Online Quilt Auction provides a unique opportunity to own a quilt made by  prizewinning quilters, many of whom do not sell their quilts. The auction is open to the public. All profits fund Alzheimer’s research.

See All of the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative (AAQI)  Celebrity Quilts and check out how the auction will run:

 HERE!

Participating in the Celebrity Invitational Quilt Auction this year are Charlotte Warr Andersen, Alex Anderson, Karen Kay Buckley, Linda Carlson, Pepper Cory, John Flynn, Diane Gaudynski, Renae Haddadin, Pat Holly, Marsha McCloskey, Sue Nickels, Barbara Shapel, Virginia & George Siciliano,  Ricky Tims, and Laura Wasilowski. Let’s see who can raise the most money for the AAQI.
If generous bidders put these quilts out of your reach, you can still support our efforts by purchasing an image of these awesome quilts on T-shirts, totes, and other items professionally printed by CafePress.

Preview the quilts here.

A Note from Ami Simms:

The Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative holds monthly online auctions during the first 10 days of each month, hosted by BenefitBidding.com. We are grateful to our auction hosts, Mary and Lloyd Cooper who donate their time and online auction site so that 100% of the money raised goes to the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative!

These quilts are currently part of the AAQI's traveling exhibit, "Alzheimer's Illustrated: From Heartbreak to Hope." They will be offered in our October 2013 online auction.

All profits fund Alzheimer's research.
