The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America’s “Quilt to Remember,” creating awareness of Alzheimer’s disease continues its national tour. This large quilt was begun in 2005 and has reached completion.
A very informative story about the quilt and it’s origin can be found at Alzheimer’s Weekly, “A Quilt to Remember” – National Tour, written by Peter Berger. He also describes one panel created by a daughter from her Mother’s aprons.
“The exhibit [quilt] is made of large panels crafted by individuals, including some with dementia, and organizations across America.”
More than 350 individuals and organizations committed to contribute panels for this large scale quilt. It’s a tribute to those affected with Alzheimer’s, their caregivers and families.
