SewCalGal also wants to recognize the accomplishments of AAQI and those that help support this wonderful cause.
Here are a few noteworthy items:
- AAQI quilts to be submitted for fundraising at Houston need to get mailed by August 31st. Last year, over $62,000 was raised at this event. With your help and support many hope more will be raised this year.
- AAQI has quilts for sale that would certainly make for great gifts!

- The Celebrity Invitational Quilt Auction will be held November lst-10th. Quilts made by various celebrities, that will be up for auction include: Diane Gaudynski, Alex Anderson, Hollis Chatelain,
Caryl Bryer Fallert, John Flynn, Becky Goldsmith, Pat Holly, Libby Lehman, Marsha McCloskey,
Sue Nickels, Mary Sorensen and Ricky Tims.
The AAQI team, SewCalGal, and many others, all appreciate the help and support by these amazing celebrity quilters to help raise funds to fight Alzheimers!
AAQI is asking:
If you’re making a Priority: Alzheimer’s Quilt and have hopes for Houston, get it registered and in the mail by August 31st. That gives our volunteers 6 weeks to receive it, scan it, price it, tag it, and ship it from your house to Illinois, from Illinois to Michigan, and from Michigan to Texas
SewCalGal is asking:
Please help spread the word about AAQI and encourage friends and family to check out their quilts for sale, regular auctions, as well as their upcoming Annual Celebrity Auction. And, of course, help is needed to make quilts that can be auctioned to help this great cause too! Don't forget AAQI!

This is truly an amazing cause, after having two uncles and a very dear friend suffer from this it is truly heart warming to see those that support and help out.
Worthy cause. Have purchased 2 AAQI quilts in the past two weeks.
Love this charity and the whole idea of how they raise money. Thanks for the update and putting the word out.
It is so heartwarming to be a part of a grassroots charity like the AAQI, where everything possible is done by volunteers. From quilt makers to quilt buyers and all the processes in between - we're united in the goal to fund Alzheimer's research!
