Quilts on this list (with a photo and description) are ready to be auctioned or sold.
I select auction quilts from this list, mostly in numerical order, unless the quilts are late arriving (no picture), we have too many from the same artist for one auction, or my silly whims must just be obeyed.
Sometimes a selection of quilts travel to the International Quilt Festival in Houston, TX to be sold. They may rest here temporarily until they're put in that pile. (We'll start hoarding them this summer so we can take 1,000 quilts to Houston.)
Some quilts are here because they are under consideration for the next traveling exhibit, "
Alzheimer's Illustrated: From Heartbreak to Hope ."
Which quilt goes where is at my discretion. Rest assured that my only motive is to raise the most money for Alzheimer's research as I can. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity in supporting this venture and entrusting the work of your hands and your hearts to the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative.
