Ami Simms has been super busy adding more than 150 new quilts have been added to the Quilts For Sale page at the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative (AAQI)within the last 72 hours.
If you haven’t been shopping for a while, you’ve never had more to choose from. As with everything the AAQI does, all profits fund research.
We have more than 1,600 quilts in all price ranges. Each and every one of them helps move us closer to a cure for Alzheimer's Disease.
Yes, we still need more quilts! The deadline to register Priority: Alzheimer’s Quilts is August 1st. (Please don’t wait until the last minute.) We would like to bring 2,500 quilts to International Quilt Festival in Houston, TX (October 30-November 3). This will be our last “face-to-face” sale and it is our biggest sale of the year. Last year we sold $75,000 of your quilts.
Quilts that don’t sell in Houston will be on our web site until December 30, 2013.
The Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative Online AUCTION is underway with 30 of the Name Quilts from “Alzheimer’s Illustrated: From Heartbreak to Hope.”
See all the Name Quilts here.
Bid here.
You can search the transcriptions of all 10,000 names and watch videos of all 182 Name Quilts.
The April auction runs until April 10th and includes Name Quilts stitched by award-winning quilters and celebrities Charlotte Warr Andersen, Alex Anderson, Karen Kay Buckley, John Flynn, Becky Goldsmith, Libby Lehman, Sue Nickels, Sharon Schamber, Patsy Thompson, Ricky Tims and others.
This will be the last auction of the Name Quilts from the exhibit. The remaining Name Quilts will be offered for sale some time during the fall when we pull the quilts going to Houston off the Quilts For Sale page.
The May auction will go back to the “regular” format, offering 27 Priority: Alzheimer’s Quilts.
The Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative (AAQI) is a national, grassroots charity whose mission is to raise awareness and fund research. The AAQI auctions and sells donated quilts, and sponsors a nationally touring exhibit of quilts about Alzheimer’s. The AAQI has raised more than $904,000 since January 2006. It is run entirely by volunteers. This year is the last year the AAQI will be fundraising.
Thank you for your support,

AAQI Founder & Executive Director

Please help all of our hard working quilters help research centers to fund Alzheimer's Disease research grants. Please help us find a cure..it's knocking at my door as I type. Do you hear it's knocking like I do? Right now, current statistics are that 3 out of 5 of us will face Alzheiemer's or a related dementia. That number is way to high for me to bear. How about you and can you help us do something about it?
