AAQI Auction: July



The Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative (AAQI) July Auction is now beginning!
There are 27 fabulous quilts for sale by bidding online over a ten day period which begins on July 1 and runs through July 10th.
All bidding is done online through the donation of a Benefit Bidding auction page site. Bidding can be made in increments of your own choosing or in an automated form of Popcorn Bidding where you set your own limit for the quilts you wish to purchase.
All profits from the AAQI is used to fund . Thanks to your efforts we have raised more than $730,000 for research..one little quilt at a time!
This month, our Liberated Quilting Challenge members have five quilts up at auction.

(Note: I made an omission and then an addition in my list below. My apologies. I am still in Anchorage where my brother is critically ill, and my time and laptop are both challenging me! But I had to get the auction news in with 5 of our quilters included this month!!!)
Our featured quilters and their quilts are:

Jude Edling: I met Jude through facebook and she's been a wonderful addition to our group. Her first auction quilt is now up for bidding:


Sujata Shah, one of our liberated web ring members as well as a 'Rebel' quilter, she creates her own root connections with fabric and thread and presents for auction:



Our Liberated, as well as 'Unruly' quilter, Heidi Burkhardt, from Ispringen, Germany, has not only shared her own process of creating this quilt with other members of the group but asked their opinions. Everyone loved the addition of the circles to the other quilting as a fun and quirky element.



Our lovely liberated quilter from Canada, Brenda Suderman loves to combine scraps and strings into her own donation creations and this one is now for sale by bidding at our July auction:

The talented Mary Johnson listened to my constant urging ;) and moved from fun family exchange postcards to quilts for AAQI! Here is her first auction quilt donation:
