AAQI is Holding for Houston


We have quilts that have already arrived at the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiatives "Holding for Houston" page! These lucky quilts have all been selected to travel as part of the quilts going with Ami Simms to the Houston International Quilt Festival ..an awesome opportunity to display all of our quilts and let others know about this amazing cause!

Ami will be bringing 1,500 quilts this year instead of the 1,000 she has brought in years past. These quilts are all displayed on the walls of the AAQI booth and sold to quilt festival attendees...often times, these are well-know quilters...so, this is also a wonderful opportunity for the quilts and their quilters!

Congratulations to Rene' Martinez, Kathleen Connors, Laura Randolph, Kristen Shields and Lynn Makrin..you all have quilts selected, so far!!! More will be selected by Ami as she works her way through quilts after # 6805...her current pause point. I'll keep you all posted as I peruse the long list looking for quilts from our group and recording the numbers. Keep your fingers crossed and send in more quilts!
