The Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative

]]> The Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative (or AAQI) is a volunteer-run, non-profit organization that raises funds through fiber art.

They have two different projects on the go right now, the first is a traveling quilt show the acknowledges the impact of Alzheimer’s.  It’s currently touring through the USA until 2010.

The project is currently in the call for entries stage.  “Priority: Alzheimer’s Quilts” is for quilts that measure 9″ by 12″ – a very do-able size!  The quilts will be auctioned off to raise money for Alzheimer’s research.  You can even donate multiple quilts to help the cause.

There are several rules that must be followed, so read the entry requirements carefully :-)
