    In May our doll quilt queen Chele challenged us to make mini quilts for the AAQI. These will be auctioned off for Alzheimers research. In memory of my brother in law's mother and my dear childhood neighbor I made these two quilts. They could be no larger than 9 x 12 inches. Chele has all the May doll quilts and AAQI on flicker for all to see.

    That is a wonderful thing to do. I bought the Alzheimer's project book from Ami Simms and gave it to my MIL. Her mother died from it and I never got to meet her. It was a very special gift for her as her mother was a quilter.

    Wow, I wish I hadn't missed this thread. My grandfather suffered from that horrible disease for almost three years before he went to be with God.

    I'm a fairly new quilter but would love to help. Is it too late?

    ToucanSam--No. Chele promoted through the doll swap, but anyone can donate to the AAQI. I have added the website that give all the pertinent information--there is no deadline.

    If you decide to make a quilt--post it here so we can all see it.
