AAQI (Alzheimer's Art Quilt Iniative) Celebrity Quilt Auction!


The Celebrity Invitational Online Quilt Auction starts November 1st and ends November 10th. Fourteen small quilts (no larger than 15″ x 15″) made by world renown quilters will be auctioned to benefit the Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative (AAQI). This is the fifth year an elite group of quilters has donated quilts to the AAQI for an online auction in November, National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.

The Celebrity Invitational Online Quilt Auction provides a unique opportunity to own a quilt made by  prizewinning quilters, many of whom do not sell their quilts. The auction is open to the public. All profits fund Alzheimer’s research.

Let’s see who can raise the most money for the AAQI.
If generous bidders put these quilts out of your reach, you can still support our efforts by purchasing an image of these awesome quilts on T-shirts, totes, and other items professionally printed by CafePress.
