Quilts! Quilts! Quilts! We Quilt for the AAQI

We have quilt and quilts and quilts...that are now part of the 1,000 Priority: Alzheimer’s Quilts that Ami Simms brought with her to the International Quilt Festival in Houston Texas! As, part of our Liberated Quilters Blog & Liberated Quilters Message Board and the fabulous Liberated Quilting Challenge, I think it is wonderful display of quilting unity for a terrific cause!

The quilt festival at the George R. Brown Convention Center, runs from today, Nov. 4 through Sunday, Nov. 7 and our quilts will all be on display and available for purchase/donation during this spectacular event!

While the Houston Quilt Market is a trade show and not open to the general public, many of us are card carrying licensees (or just lucky friends) if not quilt or fabric designers, suppliers and so forth for the Quilt Market part of the festival that fill this giant hall with their goods. And because many of the famed and famous do attend, our quilts do very well in sales, here. But the Quilt Festval, which opens the very next day, is open to the public, so if you live anywhere near it, take lots of photos and share them with all of us!

These are the amazing quilts and quilters that have been created and are now part of the AAQI Quilts for Houston!

1 of my 4 quilts currently on display in Houston: Fish Tales

My artist's Statement for this quilt:
"We all dream of the freedom to do that which we love most. In time, each of us is offered that opportunity...whether it is in our dreams, our hopes and aspirations, or in the lives we've chosen to lead. May each of us have the opportunity to tell lots of 'Fish Tales' with each new experience."

Hurray for all of us! We can only imagine what tales our little quilts have to tell!
