The May Online Quilt Auction Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative "Alzheimer's Illustrated: From Heartbreak to Hope" "Alzheimer's has affected too many people in my life. I make quilts for the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative because it is a way I am able to help make a difference using my art. This program has helped to raise money for real research that is making an impact on finding help from this horrible disease. I will continue to make quilts for this initiative until I am no longer able to thread a needle."~~Miki Get the latest news about the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative on our BLOG!
