Our Liberated Quilting Challenge for the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative continues through 2012 and beyond! Anyone is invited to join our group...it's easier and so rewarding!
Members of the Liberated Quilting Challenge group share a common goal of exploring new ways of incorporating creative quilting into our own unique styles.
Quilts can be free-pieced, strip-pieced, fused, embroidered, or appliqued, or use any other expression or artistic elements as long as they are within the durability, handling, and storage requirements of AAQI.
We seek to provide an opportunity for members to learn from one another through our blogs, message boards and web links, and to think in a liberated and "outside of the box" artistic format.
Information and directions for making an AAQI quilt for our group can be found here, at Liberated Challenge Group Instructions on this continually updated Liberated Quilting Challenge Blog. This site will also showcase individual quilts, and quilters, and update members on the latest news provided by the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative including the latest news on research funding, exhibits, and traveling quilt shows.
It is no longer necessary to be a member of any other webring or message board, all you need to do is send me a quick email and let me know that you are making and registering quilts for the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative and when you do have a new quilt registered with AAQI...you simply send me your name and your registered quilt's number. I do all the rest with featuring your quilts on the AAQI Liberated Quilting Challenge web page.
And don't forget!!!!!! The Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative January 2012 Online Auction started yesterday! It has the most amazing quilts for sale this month. Here's a tiny sampling photo, but click the link and check them all out. Amazing!!!

Note on this year's badge:
This year's icon uses quilts from myself, Rene', Kathleen, Wendy, Debra, and Chele. These little quilts were chosen to specifically represent the wide variety of styles and techniques that all of us have experimented with this past year and to showcase the endless possibilities that exist for the infinite world of creating small art quilts for donation to a wonderful cause! Anything, and everything can work!!!
