Once again this year the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative (AAQI) is holding their World Series Quilt Challenge. You need to head over and check out these gorgeous quilts more closely and read all about them. Last year over $11,000.00 was raised for Alzheimers research with this event and this year I expect them to raise even more! I can't decide which is my favourite? Judy Mathieson's Scarlet and Indigo? Rhapsody for Remembering by Ricky Tims? Or it might be John Flynn's Heart of the Storm! Hmmm... I might just have to cast more than one vote since I seem to have more than one favourite! I will be watching with interest when they are auctioned in November which is Alzheimer's Awareness Month.
So, here it is... finished! Once again, this was a workshop taught by Kim Beamish. I love her projects- they are such fun stitches. Managed to frame this one myself with a thrift store frame complete with matts that I repurposed and I am very pleased with how it turned out. I will be stitching this again because I messed up several times and want to do it again and get it right. Even with the mistakes I made though - I love it!
