Two of My Small Quilts are in the June Auction for AAQI

Posted on by

The June auction for the Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative includes two of my small quilts.  This incredible volunteer organization has raised more than $916,000 for Alzheimer’s research since January 2006!  AAQI will stop its fundraising efforts at the end of this year, and has a goal of raising at least $1,000,000 before then, and this is one of the last auctions they’ll be having.

Both my parents died from Alzheimer’s, and I wrote a bit about why I make quilts for AAQI in this blog post and also this post.

Below is Watercolor Coneflowers, one of the quilts up for auction in June.  I wrote about creating this quilt in this earlier blog post.  It measures approximately 9 inches by 12 inches.

Below is Three Daffodils which I wrote about making in this post.  It measures about 9 by 9.5 inches.

  1. Hi Jean,

    I found some of your lovely work on Spoonflower this morning. I design on there too. Then I clicked to your website and found your amazing work and tutorials.

    My sister did a quilt for this organization a few years ago. Your quilts are beautiful.

    So lovely to meet you.
