AAQI: Featuring Our Latest Quilt Donations!

Members of  my Liberated Quilting Challenge! have risen above and beyond these past feew weeks to create, and donate some wonderful new quilts for the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative. It hasn't been easy for any of us to make quilts before AAQI speeds to its grand finale and we have all gone above and beyond to make the deadline for getting our quilts in!

Keep your eyes and pocketbooks open as I do believe new sales page items and/or August Auction quilts will be available for purchase soon!

Michele Bilyeu has two new ones that are photographed on the AAQI website (one, I am so proud to say is AAQI Quilt # 15,000) and another 11 not yet scanned and awaiting assignment,  Andrea Balosky has six new quilts (on site already with photos) Jude Edling has three with photo and two  brand new ones that are awaiting scanning, and Laura Randolph, has donated another darling quilt that is also up on site.  All of the ones that have been scanned and therefore now have 'official AAQI photos' will appear very soon on our AAQI webpage.

Any quilt by any quilter can be located by a search in the AAQI website search box, either by an individual quilter's name or by the quilt number, if you know it.

This is how I find out who has made new quilts each month..the long hard way!  And speaking of that...kudos to Andrea Balosky (Nyima Llaso) who in spite of living way up in the Himalayan mountains of India always emails me ahead of time to let me know her latest registration numbers!
A labor of love for all of us, but especially challenging for her to get them to AAQI..how amazing!

We  'Liberated Quilting Challenge' quilters made it before the deadline and we deserve to be proud of all of our hard work!  So kudos this month to ALL of us!!!

Go, AAQI quilters and members of this Liberated Quilting Challenge!
