Thank you for this message. I’ll try to catch this AAQI quilt show. So far it’s not scheduled to come near me, but there is still plenty of time. Meanwhile I’ll get the book!

Newspaper info. about traveling quilt exhibit to be at a local area in March, but date too late to organize group. Will it be in St. Louis, Missouri metro area in April? Would like to take a group of ladies to see it and also to inspire them to make quilt pieces that we could send to an address you would recommend to finish the quilt at their discretion. Tried, but (because of my limited computer knowledge?) cannot access the websites regarding this info. Thank you in advance.

Martha Bilski’s quilt is particularly intriguing.
It really walks the borderline between traditional ‘craft’ and visual art.
Conceptually I think it tips over onto the visual art side.
Very successful piece I think.

Thank you for bring this to everyone’s attention! My mother suffers from Alzheimer’s. It is difficult to see them become a child again..and then having to assume the parenting role. Very difficult.
Blessings on all of you who will involve yourselves in this project.

Thank you SO much for posting this…my grandfather is suffering from Alzheimers and my mom is suffering too, from trying to care for him and seeing him deterioriate. I probably never would have found out about this amazing project otherwise.
