I'm so happy -- I found out today that the mini quilt I made for the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative is going to be on display/sale at the Houston International Quilt Festival in October. Here's the link to my quilt on their site: Lucy's House
What a great idea to have the quilts at the show! The volunteers who run the AAQI charitable organization are really terrific.
I made the quilt in honor of my mom, Lucy, a wonderful quilter who lost her battle with Alzheimer's last year. It tickles me to think that her spirit will also be represented at the festival - I think she'd like that!

Well congratulations! I like the happy fabrics you chose for your quilt. Sorry about your Mom.
OMG, I'm so proud of you, Sis! I told you that lil quilt was awesome! Mom would be so darn proud of you, she is smiling down right now saying "I taught her how to do that, you know!"
Your quilters statement teared me up. Beautiful job.
that is so great, jean! congratulations!!! How wonderful for you and in a way for your mom to be represented as well.
Wow, Jean!!! Congratulations!
Saw your quilt at the AAQI webpage. Good job. I will make one. My dad is in moderate stage of Alzheimers. Seems like a fun service project to do, try a new project and help a cause,
Congratulations!! That is quite an honor. Nice work! Tami
sorry to hear about your mother. Beautiful tribute! and I am glad you reminded me! I looked for mine (made last fall to honor a neighbor) to find out that it has sold.
