I was so deeply touched to receive an email from Julie Sefton today letting me know that the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative's traveling exhibit Alzheimer's Illustrated: From Heartbreak to Hope had reached Knoxsville, Tennessee!
I truly felt moved to tears to just imagine the enormous amount of energy and heartfelt emotions that must have existed in that exhibition hall and was truly hoping that Julie, herself, might be able to travel instate to see the exhibit and see her own beautiful little quilt on display as part of this amazing collection. She tells me she is still hoping to bring the exhibit nearer to her....go, Julie!
And congratulations Julie for all that you have done for our Liberated Quilting Challenge and for your own contribution of your precious little quilt!
