5548 Dark Ride
Paula Bell Dennee
Our talented Liberated Challenge member, Paula Denee has had this striking quilt up at auction this month at the Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative's December Auction. Paula shares the spotlight with some amazingly talented quilters, all of whom are supporting this cause by creating and donating small 4"x 6" postcards or 9" x 12" quilts. Please check-out Paula's quilt and the quilt auction quilters and consider placing a bid, today until 10:00 pm.
You can also purchase any of our other quilts from the AAQI For Sale page, any time.... until they are all gone. They are such a wonderful way to create your own art quilt wall (and donate to a great cause) all at the same time.
The Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative raised $54,437.75 at International Quilt Festival in Houston, TX in November. This includes all the monies combined from the quilt sales, earring sales, and donations. It was the most profitable fundraiser in the nonprofit’s history!
Of the 1136 Priority: Alzheimer’s Quilts shown in Houston, 899 quilts were sold. These quilts, donated by AAQI supporters from around the nation ranged in price from $15 to $250.
Please buy one from our own group members and give it as a Christmas, birthday....or just because 'I love you' gift. It's wonderful to be able to buy one on sale at such great prices and still make a donation to this cause.Check out their sizes...many of those shown above, are quilted postcards that can be legally sent through the mail...just stick on some labels to post a message (and many are already created to be mailable art as is)....put on a stamp and they're good to go!
What a wonderful way to let someone know that you are thinking of them, as well as of others, at the same time.
It's a win-win, either way!
